The Army Experience











[Tactical Operations Center at The Army Experience]


The Army Experience Center in the Franklin Mills Mall just opened a week ago I think, and it looks incredible!  There are 3 simulators (two helicopters and humvee), a gaming arena with with 60 computers and 19 XBOX 360's, a "Tactical Ops Center" a lounge, and various events that you can sign up to do.


Some of the events they have are fitness challenges, Madden/America's Army/ COD4 tournaments, future soldier training and more.  Really, they offer a lot so that possible recruits can relax and learn about the Army. 


Personally, the simulators sound awesome.  I live in the Washington DC area but I think it's worth it for me to head up there one weekend and give it a shot.


Check it out and here are some "specs."
