" The STARBASE program has a positive impact on our youth. We provide an alternative source of information for them that is both unique and inspiring. It is an honor to support a program that impacts the next generation." 

"I believe the program has a huge impact on the local school populations, not only in math and science, but also in giving a favorable impression of the military."

"STARBASE creates an opportunity for school children and their parents to visit bases, interact with military members and become educated about military equipment....thus promoting military support."

"We get a huge amount of feedback in our town. I am recognized on the street and people will stop me and say, 'You are the sailor that helped with STARBASE.  Thank you."

"The instructors have opened the minds of their students to possibilities for a brighter future."

"This program is amazing!!! The students are very excited."

"Parents are pleased and impressed with the level of science taught."

"The parents are thrilled to have their children interact with positive role models, and our members love being able to give back to the community."

"It is an honor to work in a program that develops our next generation. It brings me back to 'earth' in realizing that what we do is not only important to our service, but to our community."

STARBASE "gives me a great sense of personal pride in being a role model for our youth."

"I love to see the excitement when I describe my job and Naval Aviation." 

"They are so excited to be standing next to a military fighter jet and see inside the cockpit.  It brings a smile to my face thinking about which of these kids will grow up to fly for our military."

My "involvement reminds me of the importance of investing in our children as they are our future. I am also in awe of the dedication and concern their teachers and the STARBASE instructors have for the students."

"It is fun to talk with the kids and maybe motivate some to be engineers."

"I believe that I'm making a difference to someone, even if it is one out of thirty."

"It made me get back to the books so that I could give them the right information."

"I get to tell my story so that they can avoid the mistakes that I made.  What better chance is their to redo my life."

Volunteering gave me a "new found pride in my job. The students were in awe when I told them what I did in the Air Force."

"It reminds me that when the children see a military uniform they look up to us and that by wearing the uniform we have a responsibility to be role models."

"I love working with STARBASE. I love seeing the children excited about education."

"Their is no price that can be placed on the satisfaction that I receive."
