Uniform of the Day (UOD) for Orientation:

Incoming students attending orientation should wear the UOD: Navy blue polo, khaki pants, black belt, black socks, black shoes and black face mask (per ASU guidance). No hats shall be worn. All male students should be clean shaven. Further details about grooming standards will be explained throughout the beginning of the semester to incoming cadets.

We are using a paperless orientation, which allows new students in our program to complete several forms online. You will need to complete the first two steps in the process, completing applicant registration and part one of the applicant checklist, no later than two weeks prior to the set orientation date. Please visit the website below and click on "Apply for AFROTC" to create an account and begin the checklist.

The attached documents at the bottom of the page provides very important information on orientation to include the paperwork required for enrollment--most of these documents are loaded in WINGS and need to be completed and re-uploaded in WINGS prior to orientation.  One of those documents is the AFROTC Form 28, which is required to participate in AES 294: Air Force Physical Fitness Training. You will need to provide your Sports Physical in WINGS or in person no later than the first PT class of the semester. 

Physical Fitness Preparation

Be prepared for the baseline (ungraded) Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) tentatively scheduled within the first month of ASU class start date.  The baseline test provides a starting point for all cadets to improve upon during the course. PFA’s consist of 1 minute of push-ups, 1 minute of sit-ups, and a 1.5 mile run. Below are the PFA standards for males and females:

Air Force Physical Fitness Standards (Males <25 Years Old)

Air Force Physical Fitness Standards (Females <25 Years Old)

Achieving the minimum score in each category does not guarantee a passing PFA score. In order to pass the Air Force PFA, you must earn a score of at least 75 out of 100 points while meeting the minimum requirements of each category. Please see the official score chart for the Air Force PFA for further information regarding PFA standards.
