Yeah. We've got a couple that returned last year and are mentoring again this year, but they hang out with the Engineering team.

I myself am an Alumni Member amongst many others from T522, Most of the Alumni body have persued a job oppurtunity in the MTA - Metropolitan Transportation Authroity aka New York City Transit in doing many things such as using Machining Equipment, Building, Repairing, Maintaining many different items.
