Cardinals, USAA give Luke Air Force Base service members 'NFL Boot Camp' experience

The Arizona Cardinals and the USAA teamed up to give about 70 service members from Luke Air Force Base a NFL combine-style experience at University of Phoenix Stadium on Monday.

The service members met with some of the players, saw the stadium from field level and perform drills in an "NFL Boot Camp" that's not quite as rigorous as the one they're used to.

The goal was to create "unique experiences for the men and women that serve in the military," said Latasha Causey, the director of operations for USAA in the Phoenix area.

It also took some of them back to their football playing days.
