<p>DD, her best friend, my best friend and I leave for DC tomorrow. We’re going with the Criminal Justice class from the girl’s high school. The teacher is a retired FBI agent and we get to tour the FBI Academy. I’m so excited. I’ve always wanted to visit Quantico … must be all those mysteries I read. DD, planning to study political science, is so very excited about seeing so many things. We’ll be back Sunday evening, so I’ll try and report in on Monday some time. Have a great rest of the week, all!</p>
<p>SplashMom ~ Please tell me your secret of how you were able to arrange the visit. As I understand from their website, the FBI academy is closed to public tours. My DS is very interested in that career path and would love to tour it. And we only live about 30 minutes away from the facility. OB</p>
<p>DD’s Criminal Justice teacher is a retired FBI agent, so he was able to arrange it for all of us. We did have to give some personal information some time ago and have all had background checks. While we’re there, I’ll be happy to ask if people with serious interest in the field can arrange a visit.</p>
<p>Splashmom,</p>
<p>Have a GREAT trip! Hope the rain lets up!</p>
<p>If they do a demonstration of the firing range, you can request the target as a souvenir!</p>
<p>SplashMom ~ Thanks! Have a wonderful trip!!!</p>
