🏗️ #USAFA cadets gain hands-on experience through the Field Engineering and Readiness Laboratory (FERL), building the technical skills and leadership needed to support future operations.
 
🚜 During the three-week summer course, cadets train in surveying, concrete placement, environmental remediation, heavy equipment operations and more under the guidance of enlisted mentors and faculty.
 
🤝 Each year, cadets also construct two Navajo hogans that are donated to veterans and families in need.
