Retired U. S. Navy Veteran of 20 years, Corey Piggee, stopped by Creative Action Team School (CATS) to share his experiences and the possibilities available through the U. S. Navy. The students were allowed to ask questions and share their future goals. Also, Mr. Henry Hale, Creative Action Team School Instructor, encouraged CATS students to research additional opportunities available through the Reserve Officers Training Corps, better known as ROTC. ROTC is available through all five branches of the military.
