Weber State also provides programs in Aerospace Studies (Air Force) through an inter-campus agreement with Utah State University and Naval Science (Navy and Marines Corps) through an inter-campus agreement with the University of Utah. Students may minor in any three of the above by satisfying requirements as identified in the programs below. AEROSPACE STUDIES (AIR FORCE ROTC) Chair: Lt Colonel Byron E. Hukee Assistant Professors: Major Dean A. Wheelwright, Captain Martin F. Kulikowski, Captain Robert F. Rocco The Program The Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps, AFROTC is an educational program designed to provide you, as a college student, the opportunity to become an Air Force commissioned officer while completing requirements for an undergraduate or graduate degree. AFROTC provides numerous educational experiences for developing skills and attitudes vital to the career of a professional Air Force officer. The program is designed to develop an understanding of the mission and the global responsibilities of the United States Air Force. Academic course work provides background in national and international affairs to help candidates understand and evaluate world events. In addition, opportunities exist to apply the principles of leadership, human relations, management, and staff work in practical situations. AFROTC offers a Two-Year Program and a Four- Year Program. Most cadets go through the Four-Year Program. It's tailored for students with three or more years of college remaining. If you have two years of college remaining, you need to apply for the Two-Year Program prior to February of your sophomore year. The Four-Year Program begins with the General Military Course, GMC. You can "try out" AFROTC before deciding whether to apply for the last two years. There is no military commitment with the GMC; it is an opportunity to become acquainted with the doctrine, mission, organization of the U.S. Air Force and the development of air power. To qualify for entry into the GMC at WSU, a student must be enrolled at WSU, be a citizen of the United States (for scholarship appointment only), be in sound physical condition, and be of good moral character. Class work lasts one hour per week and there is a one hour Leadership Laboratory period held at Utah State University. Before entering your junior year, you will attend a rigorous Field Training program~a four-week summer camp for a cadet in the Four-Year program and a six-week camp for a cadet in the Two-Year program. Training is conducted at Air Force bases throughout the country and includes leadership training, career orientation, physical fitness training, survival, small arms marksmanship, and jet trainer flights. Cadets are paid approximately $500 and are provided with free room, board, and transportation to and from field training. Once you have completed Field Training, you are eligible to enter the junior year of the AFROTC program or the Professional Officer Course, POC. In the POC you'll take an in-depth look at the theories of management and their application, followed by the role of the armed forces in today's American society. You'll examine a broad range of American domestic and international military relationships and the environmental context in which American national security policy is developed and carried out. As a POC student, you'll receive a tax-free allowance of $100 for each month you're in school. Class work lasts three hours a week (two hours at WSU and one hour at USU) and there's a one hour Leadership Laboratory period held at Utah State University. Leadership Laboratory is taken every quarter. You will spend one class period each week putting into practice the leadership skills and management theory acquired in class. Leadership Laboratory is a cadet-centered program that will improve your ability to perform as an Air Force officer. You also will take orientation flights, listen to military speakers, go on field trips to military bases, view films, take part in social functions, and be involved with case studies and group-problem solving. Cadets do the planning, organizing, directing and controlling of the cadet corps. You'll prepare briefings, written communications and conduct interviews. You'll Student Services Interdisc.
