The young adults, although not touring as part of official NDI business, said they came away with a more accurate view of the military installation, and are eager to take their knowledge and apply it in their work places.
"I have heard of the Transit Center and I wanted to see it for myself," said Turdumbaev Uranbek, the trip organizer.
Now 22, he spent a year in the United States during high school, as part of an exchange program, and now works in the NDI news department.
