Note from the Commander

Joining Air Force ROTC is more than choosing a college program or preparing for a career. It is a decision to challenge yourself and to serve something greater than yourself. Joining our program is about become part of a profession built on trust, responsibility, and service to our Nation. People join AFROTC for many different reasons: some are drawn by the opportunity to fly and serve around the world; others are looking for a meaningful career opportunity. Whatever brought you here, I hope that during your time at Detachment 850 you discover something even more important: the privilege and responsibility that comes with serving as an officer in the United States Air Force or United States Space Force. If you choose to join, AFROTC will challenge you! You will be asked to step outside your comfort zone to continually improve. There will be days when you question whether you are capable of meeting the standard. Those moments are an important part of the journey. Our goal is not simply to prepare you to earn a commission—we seek to help you become the kind of person worthy of the trust that our Nation places in its military officers. If you think you have what it takes to continue our Detachment’s legacy of excellence and to be the next generation of Airmen and Guardians, then give us a call.
