AFROTC Experience

The AFROTC experience is one unlike any other college experience I would have imagined. It is like having a job on top of school and another job all at once haha. IT is CRAZY!!!! But it is so rewarding and amazing. We had PT in the morning, and I decided to join the Honor Guard Drill Team, we had practices every morning from 0600-0800 and performances during the day and at night all of the time. Freshman year was great getting to know the program and having fun. I then went on my mission and returned to my Sophmore or “200” year. This was preparation for Field Training (I’ll explain in the next post). After field training I began to learn more of what it takes to become an officer in the air force and to be a manger and leader of other people. 400 year was senior year and it was a whole new ball game. My second semester I was selected to be the Mission Support Group commander, and it was a ride. Being organized, meetings, taking care of my guys, being the example, making sure things got done right and on time, staying within budget, overseeing 75+ guys. It was a thrill. I loved it. And now I commission tomorrow in the US Air Force. I can’t wait.
