VICTORIA, Texas – (April 18, 2019) Emily Garza, a senior attending Victoria East High School, performed 10 pull-ups during the Pull-up Challenge at America’s Navy’s Virtual Reality Experience, the NIMITZ, featured on the school’s campus. 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 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.
