Talk:Winslow Air Force Station

As early as 1966 the former Winslow Air Force Station was home to a training center for the US Job Corps, and housed several hundred teachers, support personnel, and family members, and approximately one hundred inner-city at risk youth. Under the program, inner-city youth were brought to this remote site and trained in heavy-equipment job skills and also earned their GED high school equivalency degrees. The site was closed in 1969 under orders from then-President Nixon and turned over to the Navajo Nation.98.245.131.119 (talk) 04:28, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
