Ainsworth was selected among several other young marines across the country who were taught the values of leadership, teamwork and self-discipline, according to the Young Marines.
The program lasted six days in Huntsville, Ala., where young marines were joined by former NASA astronaut Kenneth D. Cameron, in completing the following tasks throughout their training:
Learning about aeronautics, propulsion and aviation history.
Flew in a UAV drone simulator to reinforce lessons learned at static displays and artifacts.
Mastered aerial combat and competing to be the best of the best in 'Top Gun.'
Embarked on a search and rescue mission to bring a downed pilot back from behind enemy lines while communicating as a team and evading hostile forces.

Cameron has extensive experience as an astronaut, logging more than 561 space hours throughout three space flights, making him a great role model to guide the young marines during hands-on activities. The young marines gained a lot of knowledge during the course that could benefit them in the future.
'Completion of this difficult course is a major accomplishment and a life-changing experience for these Young Marines,' Col. William P. Davis, USMC (Ret.), national executive director and CEO of the Young Marines said. 'Our Young Marines enthusiastically answered the challenge that the NASA camp put before them. With purpose, creativity and strategic thinking, our Young Marines completed every task assigned to them.'

An obituary on Saturday about James A. Lovell Jr., the commander of the three-man Apollo 13 spacecraft that survived a near-catastrophic explosion as it approached the moon in April 1970, misstated how much time elapsed before Apollo 13 detected signs of trouble. It was 56 hours, not 56 minutes. It also misidentified the astronaut who was to accompany him to the surface of the moon in a lunar module, though that mission was never accomplished. He was Fred W. Haise Jr., not John L. Swigert Jr. Mr. Swigert was to remain behind in the orbiting Apollo 13 spaceship. The obituary also misstated how many great-grandchildren Captain Lovell had. It is nine, not eight. An article and related map on Aug. 1 about the countries that recognize a Palestinian state, relying on a U.N. document from April 2024, misstated the Czech Republic's position on the recognition of a Palestinian state. While Czechoslovakia recognized Palestinian statehood in 1988, the Czech Republic recognizes the goal of an independent Palestinian state, but does not currently recognize it as one. An article on Thursday about Britain's charities' regulator clearing Prince Harry of bullying, harassment and sexism at the charity he co-founded misstated the year that Sophie Chandauka became a trustee of Sentebale. It was 2008, not 2009. Because of an editing error, the article also misstated the number of trustees left on the Sentebale board after the resignations on March 24. Five trustees resigned, leaving only Ms. Chandauka on the board, not five of nine. Ms. Chandauka appointed four new trustees on March 25. An article on Monday about the announcement that the Row NYC in Times Square will stop operating as a housing shelter for migrants misstated the ownership of the Row NYC. Rockport Group, a Boston-based real estate private equity firm, no longer has a stake in the hotel. An article on Monday about the weekend's box office earnings misstated the rating of the 'Naked Gun' remake. It is PG-13, not R. An article on Saturday about the music label Penrose Records and its influence in a soft-touch style of soul music misspelled the surname of an artist on the label's roster. She is Vicky Tafoya, not Trafoya. A Metropolitan Diary entry on Sunday misspelled the surname of the drummer for the rock band The Animals. He is John Steel, not Steele.

Historic 1880s "Miss Belle's House" moves to its final location in Richardson
A historic home in Richardson hit the road and moved to its final location Sunday. The Victorian home, called "Miss Belle's House," was originally built between 1886 and 1889 and is a Texas historic landmark. "It is one of the older homes within the community," Richardson spokesperson Greg Sowell said. Virginia Bell Roberson ran a school out of the home in the early 1900s. "Her parents actually bought her this house to run a private school. On the first floor, she had kindergarten through third grade and private school there, and then she lived on the second floor," Sowell said. The two-story home was relocated to Owens Farm in 1979. "For decades, if you went to elementary school here, it was your window into the past for the city of Richardson because you would have gone through tours and seen kind of what those early days were like here in the city," Sowell said. "Today is the move of Miss Belle's House, as it's affectionately known as." Construction crews descended on the home early Sunday morning and carefully began the delicate three-mile journey down Plano Road. Larry Abeln joined other people to watch the process. "It's just fun. It's a neat thing to see just watching it go down the road," Abeln said. "Good heavens, there it is, moving now!" Abeln watched in awe, seeing the commotion and fanfare. "It's such a production having all the police and the electrical people and everybody out here," Abeln said. Miss Belle's home made the journey to Huffhines Park, where Abeln and other history buffs watched and took in the moment. "It's a big part of Richardson's history," Abeln said. "We've lived here 43 years, and we used to take the kids over to Owens Farm when this house was over there." It's not the end for Miss Belle's House now that it's at its permanent home. Restoration work is planned, and the city of Richardson is seeking donations for park benches, historical markers, and landscaping to give the home some much-needed TLC. "There's a sentimental value that I think you're seeing and feeling as you run into the people out here," Sowell said. "It come down to the importance and the feeling of the community. I think that's where it really stands is the connection that people feel with." "We think Richardson is a great place, and Miss Belle's House is just part of it," Abeln said. It's a future well in the making, saved for future generations to enjoy.
