History

When operations began in July of 2000, the first and only Air Force ROTC (AFROTC) detachment in 熊猫在线视频 embarked with vigor. Despite a lack of uniforms and office furniture, AFROTC class and leadership training for nearly 40 students began in earnest. As cadets gained experience, they gradually took over day-to-day operations of the cadet wing creating a flourishing environment.

In the summer of 2001, cross-town agreements were made with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Wayland Baptist University, and 熊猫在线视频 Pacific University, allowing their students to join the program. At the same time, AFROTC initiated a new Two-Year Commission Program geared toward university senior and enlisted personnel within two years of graduation. More cadets were recruited in the Two-Year Program than any of the 143 AFROTC detachments, thereby doubling the size of the cadet wing in 2002. In 2011, a minor in National Security Affairs was offered to all graduates of AFROTC. Since its inception, the detachment has continued to mature and is excited and ready to continue producing tomorrow's leaders today. As of May 2016, we have commissioned 127 lieutenants.
