: We’re inside the Army’s aviation van. It’s equipped with cutting-edge flight simulators, virtual reality systems, and video war games that take you to the front lines.

RECRUITER: Watch out, watch out, watch out.

JOHN MERROW: Here, you can even take the controls of an Apache helicopter. This $1.1 million tractor-trailer travels to schools all across America looking for recruits for our nation’s all-volunteer Army. On this day, the van is stationed at Hoover High School in an urban section of San Diego. It’s career day for the Army.
