Cadet Life at Detachment 730 is an experience unlike any other. Cadets are faced with challenges and accept responsibilities above and beyond that of the normal college student; while at the same time cadets are able to enjoy a full collegiate lifestyle. The AFROTC program is geared towards leadership skills and personal development. AFROTC students, as members of the cadet wing, work to support each other to achieve uncommon success in ROTC as well as the academic environment. As part of the Detachment’s mentoring program upperclass cadets are available for tutoring and guidance throughout the academic semester. Cadets work closely with each other and often form friendships that will last far beyond the Cadet Wing.

It is in this unique environment that AFROTC students learn, through experience, the principle of leadership, decision making, discipline, and integrity. These basic principles are invaluable in both military and civilian life.

As a cadet, you will experience many life-changing activities. Each week you will attend 1-3 hours of Aerospace Studies class, in which you will learn about airpower, the history of the Air Force, and leadership. Additionally once per week you will attend a Leadership Lab that will allow you to hone your military and leadership skills. You will also have the opportunity to participate in other activities:

• Formal award ceremonies and dinners
• Team-building and recreational activities like paintball, rock climbing, field exercises
• Orientation flights in general aviation aircraft
• Unit picnics and social events

Additionally cadets at Detachment 730 are invited to join AFROTC affiliated social and service organizations such as the Arnold Air Society and the Detachment 730 Honor Guard. As a member of one of these organizations, cadets will participate in activates to benefit the local and national communities while working with and learning from upperclass cadets.
