Field Training
What is Field Training?
Field Training (FT) is a four or six week summer encampment between your sophomore and junior year. It is conducted at several active Air Force bases located throughout the United States. This is an intensified training period where you receive additional leadership training, attend numerous career orientations, and learn firsthand about Air Force life. We pay all your transportation expenses and provide you with all necessary uniform items. You will also be paid a salary equal to about half the monthly pay of a second lieutenant while you are there. You only attend FT once while you are in the AFROTC program.
How much marching and drilling will I have to do?
Not as much as you think. Marching/drill is sometimes practiced during your squadron time at Leadership Laboratory. There are no mandatory drill sessions outside of LLAB.
