Aerospace Studies Class
AS100 cadets attend a weekly academic class focused on Air Force foundations, officership, and professional development.
Leadership Laboratory
LLAB gives cadets hands-on exposure to drill, customs and courtesies, teamwork, communication, and leadership basics.
Physical Training
Cadets participate in PT to build fitness, resilience, and readiness while learning Air Force fitness expectations.
Mentorship
AS100s receive guidance from upper-class cadets, cadre, and peers to help them adjust to the program.
Do I need prior military experience?
No. Most AS100 cadets begin with little to no military experience. The program is designed to teach you the fundamentals step-by-step.
What classes do I need to register for?
All cadets are required to register for Aerospace Studies, Leadership Laboratory (LLAB), and AES 294 Physical Training.
What is Leadership Laboratory?
Leadership Laboratory is the weekly hands-on training component of AFROTC where cadets practice drill, customs and courtesies, communication, teamwork, and leadership.
Do I need to be on scholarship to join?
No. Many cadets join AFROTC without a scholarship and later compete for scholarships or continue through the program normally.
How much time does AFROTC take each week?
Time commitment varies, but most AS100 cadets can expect several hours each week between classes, LLAB, PT, studying, and optional events.
Who should I contact if I have questions?
You can contact Detachment 025 cadre or recruiting staff using the Contact Us section for enrollment guidance and program questions.
Interested students should review the how-to-join tab, review eligibility requirements, and prepare to attend orientation or introductory events.
