National Youth Leadership Conference "HOPPER" group Memory Video -February 10-15, 2009

On February 10-15, 2009, I went to Washington D.C. to go to the National Youth Leadership Conference on National Security. I learned alot about the U.S. and made some amazing new friends in the process. I just felt that it needed to be shared with YouTube because it was so incredible. Enjoy!

got it in the mail for my junior year and imma freshman now im going. do we really get site experiance at the CIA?

[nickbrad1983]

@THECREEDX7 it all depends on what group they put you in. Some people went to the Pentagon, some people went to the CIA, some people went to the Capitol. You wont what your site experience is until you get there.

ok so i got invited...

national security..my tuition is like $1500

but idk if it includes everything or do i have to pay hotel and other stuff myself?

[nickbrad1983]

@fired71 no....$1500 covers the trip/room and board/activities. You still have to pay for your flights and there's an optional luggage protection fee to reimburse you if something happens to your bags. The whole thing will cost you roughly $2000 in all, but it is sooooooo worth it. Hope that helps.

Hey I just got this in the mail today, and I just read everything. And I don't clearly understand it. What is this about? Is it worth it? And would it some how help me out if I want to join the USMC? If you can reply back that will be great.
