From learning about the base's history to particpating in a combat simulator, Washington Redskins rookies on Friday experienced Marine Corps Quantico Base like few civilians ever have.
Redskins rookies on Friday were provided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to tour the Marine Corps Quantico Base in Prince William County, Va.
Just a short distance from Washington, D.C., their first stop of the day showed the history of Marines stationed on base flying the President of the United States on various helicopters.
Following that, the group went to one of the hangers that house several different helicopters that are used for various tasks.
