Program Requirements

Extracurriculars!

Besides required AS classes, LLAB, and PT, many other opportunities exist for cadets outside of the program. Cadets may be involved in many programs ranging from sports to clubs and internships. In addition, AFROTC also gives students the opportunity to join special clubs such as Arnold Air Society (AAS) and Precision Drill Unit (PDU). The detachment also offers opportunities such as trips to military installations which are organized throughout the year for cadets who want to learn more about the military lifestyle. The AFROTC program helps fund these activities to ensure cadets have the opportunity to gain insight into multiple career possibilities.

Leadership Laboratory 

Leadership Laboratory (LLAB) is a great opportunity for the older cadets to practice their leadership skills, while younger cadets learn essential skills such as marching and uniform wear.

Physical Training

Physical Training (PT) is a necessity at Detachment 045. PT takes place bright and early, twice a week and provides an opportunity to bond with the other cadets.

Academics First

Being a student comes first! To remain in the program, cadets must maintain academic standards. Furthermore, once you join the program, you can leave anytime during your first 2 years. You are not obligated to stay in the program if you do not wish.

Important Note

We have a zero-tolerance policy for hazing and sexual harassment so everyone is welcome and feels safe!
