Prospective Cadet,

Your interest in the AFROTC program is commendable!   As your journey to become a military officer begins, take advantage of every opportunity, always seek self-improvement, and perform at your best. The cadre of Detachment 835 stand ready to mentor, support, and help you along the way.  However, you are ultimately responsible for your success and completion of the program.

To help you prepare for your upcoming semester in AFROTC, the Cadet Wing is organizing a New Cadet Orientation Program (NCOP). During orientation, you will be introduced to our program, be briefed on expectations from the Detachment Commander, accomplish the in-processing checklist, and finalize your enrollment in AFROTC.

NCOP will take place from 11-15 Aug 2025, from 0900-1300. Incoming cadets only need to attend one of these days. The following items are required of all cadets:
