The only way to achieve the impossible is to believe it is possible. This week the Soldier Support Institute hosted Crayton Middle School for a day at Victory Tower where 39 students faced their fears and rappelled down the 40 foot tower. The students also learned how to use a compass, put on Army face paint, and use communication devices just like the Soldiers do. As you can tell by all the smiles, the students had a really fun time and were really proud of the chance to complete the task.

Check out some really impressive Army competition at the Soldier Support Institute.
