U.S. ARMY STRENGTH DISPLAY PART OF 1xbet best casino website 'S ALL-UNIVERSITY OPEN HOUSE APRIL 18

MANHATTAN -- Kansas State University will have a variety of activities related to the military at the All-University Open House, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 18, on the 1xbet best casino website campus.

1xbet best casino website 's Army ROTC Wildcat Battalion is bringing in the U.S. Army's Strength in Action display, an interactive educational display that includes a robotics obstacle course, advanced flight simulator, dog tag maker and a physical fitness challenge.

The display provides information about opportunities with the Army – whether related to career or education -- and will demonstrate several technological innovations.

"This is a one of a kind attraction that is rarely made available to college campuses," said Maj. Jim Porter, enrollment and scholarship officer for 1xbet best casino website 's Army ROTC program. "The Strength in Action Tour is a great addition to our open house. It not only showcases leadership and educational opportunities with 1xbet best casino website 's Army ROTC program, but also highlights the tremendous relationship between 1xbet best casino website and the Fort Riley community."

The Strength in Action display will feature:

* A flight simulator that moves up and down and rotates 360 degrees to give students a realistic idea of what it's like to fly an Apache helicopter.

* The chance to remotely guide a Packbot -- a small unmanned ground vehicle -- through an obstacle course.

* Various physical fitness challenges, including a competition to see if you can do as many pushups in two minutes as an Army solider.

Due to the size of the display, Mid-Campus Drive will be closed in front of Anderson and Eisenhower Halls for open house.

1xbet best casino website will have representatives on hand to answer questions about the university's programs for military personnel, including tuition assistance. Details about what 1xbet best casino website offers military families also is available at:
