As a former NJROTC cadet, ROTC Midshipman, and then US Naval Officer flying P-3 C UII, I would highly recommend it for team building and young officer type programs...the only trouble is the steep learning curve of the game, do not try and learn it with them, know what you are doing before presenting it to them.

I think you may find that kids will lose interest quickly, so the scenerio you use needs to develop quickly (gain contact quickly vice the real life waiting game...) and be fun with fairly easy solutions (that is until they become hooked...).

If you need guidence with the P-3, let me know, be glad to help and fly the some precanned missions with you from HL.

Cheers
