VICTORIA, Texas – (April 18, 2019) Students attending Victoria East High School begin a mission briefing at America’s Navy’s Virtual Reality Experience, the NIMTIZ. After its activation during the Wings Over South Texas Air Show held aboard Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, April 13 – 14, the Nimitz was available to come to the school after its activation at Rockport-Fulton High School in Rockport, Texas, April 16. The experience started with registration, a mission briefing, donning on rumble packs and virtual reality headsets, and immersion into the mission. The mission consisted of a virtual high-speed water extraction of a Navy SEAL team pinned down under enemy fire. Once the students completed the mission, they were graded on how they responded to five separate mission commands. Recruiters assigned to Navy Recruiting Station (NRS) Victoria were at the NIMITZ to spread Navy awareness and to pique students’ interest about America’s Navy. The NIMITZ is named after Fleet Adm. Chester Nimitz, a native of Fredericksburg, Texas, who commanded the U.S. Pacific Fleet during WWII. Navy Recruiting District San Antonio’s area of responsibility includes more than 30 Navy Recruiting Stations and Navy Officer Recruiting Stations spread throughout 144,000 square miles of Central and South Texas territory.
