Attended the IRTB FEMA funded course. This is a must for all first responders. Great knowledgeable staff

Great testing facility for energetic materials....

Fun classes funded primarily by the federal government. Enjoyed the week of blowing things up, and the staff was highly energetic (see what I did there?). Now there isnt much to do in Socorro so dont expect it to be a holiday in paradise. Everything you order is going to be green or red, or just Christmas tree your food. You will catch on once you get there. Short drives to some interesting sites involving high speed physics, and the very large array is close by where you can see big parabolic dishes, and jackrabbits of equal size.

I love this place

Amazing research and development prototyping

Blowing up stuff is what they do!

So worth it!
