Wander:
A few years ago now (well to be true, many but the memories are still clear) I lead an exchange of recently graduated Cranditz cadets (including JB and LK) to the Norwegian Air Force Academy. There were cadets from their Army and Navy academies as well. They offered us flying in their SAAB grading trainer, and the girl friends of the visiting cadets too "as they were taxpayers and should have the opportunity to see what we do". Seemed a good idea
Sorry to be a naysayer but how is giving the girlfriends of the cadets in anyway showing them what they do?
Presumably bring girlfriends of the cadets they had a pretty good idea anyway.
Would have hoped they arranged similar jollies for students around the country to get them interested.
Sounds to me a bit like 'Look how cool your boyfriend is' instead of a real program.
