Fort A.P. Hill Citizens' Academy Pilot Program video

By Mrs. Jennifer EricksonNovember 4, 2011

Nine citizens stepped into the shoes of Fort A.P. Hill employees and the

boots of the Warriors they train and support during the Fort A.P. Hill

Citizens' Academy Pilot Program in October 2011. On Oct. 27, each graduate

left with a greater understanding of Fort A.P. Hill's mission to provide

realistic joint and combined arms training support to America's defense

forces.

The graduates are: Conway Carter and wife Karen Carter of Woodford, Jerry

Hunt of Woodford, Bryan Justice of Fredericksburg, Margaret Kearns of Ruther

Glen, Stephanie Kreseen of Ruther Glen, Tom Rumora of Spotsylvania County,

Charles "Chuck" Stepp of Port Royal, and Pete Stover of Spotsylvania.

The Academy brought them together for hands-on and interactive activities

Oct. 1, 8, and 22.

"It is just tremendous what we have been able to learn about the degree of

cooperation between the various elements of this post. It is just tremendous

the cooperation that, frankly, the public doesn't know about, and that we

learned so much about, via hands-on applications," Stepp said.
