Field Training provides opportunities to students not offered anywhere else in the military. Students do not sign a contract with the Air Force to attend. Credit for camp completion is tuition-free. The camp is worth up to eight elective IU credits. Room, board, and transportation are free of charge.
Leadership training is provided, along with military skills training.
Field Training may include a one-day jet aircraft orientation, where students actually fly an Air Force trainer jet. Depending on when Field Training is offered, students may complete the First Summer Session of classes prior to attending the camp or the Second Summer Session of classes after attending. Field Training could be the most unique experience students ever try. Army ROTC Challenge Camp Challenge is a six-week leader internship held at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The camp is conducted by the Army ROTC and is open only to college students who have at least two years of college remaining and a minimum GPA of 2.0.
