It's What We Do Every Day
There are three main components of AFROTC. Those components are Air Science lecture courses, Leadership Laboratory and Physical Training. At any detachment across the nation, you will find variations of these three components. Look below to see a brief description of how we do things at Ohio State.

LEADERSHIP LABORATORYCadets meet once a week for two hours to complete this requirement. The lab is broken into two different levels. During the lab environment, the General Military Course cadets (freshman and sophomores) are trained by the Professional Officer Course cadets (juniors and seniors) on various topics. Those topics include things such as, drill and ceremonies, customs and courtesies, dormitory procedures, small unit tactics, and followership.The Professional Officer Course cadets plan and execute the required training objectives each week, so their piece of the puzzle takes a vast amount of coordination and discipline. |

PHYSICAL TRAININGWe meet for physical training twice a week at various locations. At those meetings, we spend about an hour fine-tuning our bodies for maximum performance. Workouts are typically dynamic in nature and can include intense levels of both aerobic and anaerobic workouts. |
