Addison Trail students learn about military automotive careers

On Sept. 25, students in Addison Trail career and technical education (CTE) teacher Keith Santini’s automotive courses had a special opportunity.

They had a visit from two members of the Army National Guard (SSG Pelczarski, E-6, and SFC Pelczarski, E-7), who brought a Humvee for the students to explore and gain hands-on experience. Santini discussed what makes military vehicles (including working on them) unique.

Pupils also learned about automotive careers that are available to pursue in the military.
