Hoping this post finds someone out there…
Has anyone here had any experiences or specific memories that occurred at STARBASE. For those of you that have never heard of it, Starbase was a program conducted LITERALLY by the Department of Defense (DoD) in the early 2000s. Specifically I went there in 2008 through the catholic school i was attending. it was a two month long program. I dont know if it is defunct nationwide now but im hoping there are some experiences out there that can comment on this.
It was a program for 5th graders around the country where we were sent to a military base in our town. can someone please tell me why they were sending 5th graders to a military base for any reason…
Literally I have seen nobody talk about this program and it doesnt sit right with me because i have strange memories from out time there. I remember feeling very ill every single time we went there by the end of the day. by the end of the day i would always leave there with intense migraines every single time. i would beg my parents if i could stay home because i didnt like going to the military base but the program was pitched to us as a fun experience
ive tried to research about the program online and the building we were sent to is closed down now and abandoned.
