A School - Pensacola, Florida (Corry Station too)
Try these two groups. I know that they a lot of training in Pensacola. My husband and I were in Pensacola in 2007 for our son's graduation from Officer Candidate School. We had the opportunity to observed the many fine young men and women in the aviation field - in the the NX, out walking around. My husband and I were very, very impressed. They all walked with a purposeful stride. They had smiles on their faces. You can't help but smile at their bright future when you see them. Congrats to your daughter and good luck.
