The Advanced Training Program is designed to provide cadets with specialized and individual professional development. The learning experience is like an intern program in which cadets are placed at Air Force bases to acquaint them with life, duties and responsibilities of Air Force people. This is a voluntary program that provides an important transition for a cadet between training conducted at field training, and commissioning as a second lieutenant. Cadets are assigned to Air Force bases normally for two or three weeks. While on base during Advanced Training, meals and quarters are provided at no expense to the cadets.
Limited opportunities are also available in parachuting, glider and survival training courses.
Base Visits Base visits give cadets a firsthand look at operational Air Force bases. Each group of cadets is accompanied by an Air Force ROTC instructor who adds personal knowledge of the Air Force mission to the cadets' base-visit experience. This program is beneficial to the education and training of Air Force ROTC cadets because it develops an appreciation of the Air Force professional environment. Current emphasis in the Air Force ROTC College Scholarship Program is to award scholarships to candidates pursuing undergraduate engineering or other scientific and technical disciplines. However, students in every degree program enjoy scholarship opportunities, as the Air Force seeks to engage students who excel both academically and militarily.
