190418-N-ND850-034 VICTORIA, Texas (April 18, 2019) Fire Controlman 1st Class Jordan Dayberry of Dallas, assigned to Navy Recruiting Station (NRS) Victoria, monitors a student participating in the Pull-up Challenge as part of America's Navy's Virtual Reality Experience, the NIMITZ, at Victoria East High School. The experience started with registration, a mission briefing, donning on rumble packs and virtual reality headsets, and immersion into the mission. The mission consisted of a virtual high-speed water extraction of a Navy SEAL team pinned down under enemy fire. Once the students completed the mission, they were graded on how they responded to five separate mission commands. Recruiters assigned to NRS Victoria were at the NIMITZ to spread Navy awareness and to pique students' interest about America's Navy. Dayberry joined America's Navy in 2011 after graduating from Leonard High School becoming a recruiter in 2019. The NIMITZ is named after Fleet Adm. Chester Nimitz, a native of Fredericksburg, Texas, who commanded the U.S. Pacific Fleet during WWII. Navy Recruiting District San Antonio's area of responsibility includes more than 30 Navy Recruiting Stations and Navy Officer Recruiting Stations spread throughout 144,000 square miles of Central and South Texas territory.
