My grandson is here:

Not only did this require 2 plane tickets from Aiken, SC, he had to bring 5 days worth of “professional clothing” to participate. And Dad had to take a week’s vacation from work. Grandson’s a sophomore in HS.
This is the National Youth Leadership Forum for Careers in National Security, Intelligence, & Defense. And it’s held at the Pentagon which is why parents cannot come along. Luckily my grandson has a very good head on his shoulders (as do his father and mother). But, I still don’t trust my government.
good luck to him!
