VICTORIA, Texas – (April 18, 2019) Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class James Corbett of Princeton, W.V., the leading petty officer assigned to Navy Recruiting Station (NRS) Victoria, speaks with students of Victoria East High School about career opportunities in America’s Navy at the Navy’s Virtual Reality Experience, the NIMITZ. Recruiters assigned to NRS Victoria were at the NIMITZ to spread Navy awareness and to pique students’ interest about America’s Navy. 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. Corbett joined America’s Navy in 2010 after graduating from Williamson High School becoming a recruiter in 2016. 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.
