If you
are a motivated student in high school or college, then you may be
just the kind of person our Nation's Air Force is looking for. You
may be asking yourself, "What is Air Force R.O.T.C. and what does it
have to offer me?"
Air Force R.O.T.C. (Reserve Officer Training Corps) prepares
students for careers as Air Force Officers through a college level
curriculum. It is an educational program that prepares men and women
to become future leaders of the United States Air Force while
completing their degrees.
AFROTC offers many scholarship opportunities to help you pay for
school and offers you a guaranteed job after graduation. The Air Force is
always in need of new officers in a variety of career fields.
Today's officers are offered high-tech training,
advanced education opportunities, equal pay and promotions, vacation benefits, and
an excellent retirement plan.
