ROTC UNITS Weber State has an on-campus based unit of the Army ROTC. Weber State also provides programs in Aerospace Studies (Air Force) through an inter-campus agreement with the University of Utah, 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. Chair: Col. Patrick J. Collson Assistant Professors: Captains Cristen L. DeYoung, James W. Vaught, Jr. 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. The academic class lasts one hour per week and there is a two hour Leadership Laboratory period held at the University of Utah. 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 or 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 (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. The academic class lasts three hours a week and there's a two hour Leadership Laboratory period held at the University of Utah. Leadership Laboratory is taken every quarter along with the academic class. You will spend two hours each week putting into practice the leadership skills and management theory acquired in class. Leadership Laboratory is a cadet-centered program that improves your ability to perform as an Air Force officer. Orientation flights, military speakers, field trips to military bases, films, social functions, and with case studies and group-problem solving are all part of the Leadership Laboratory. Cadets do the planning, organizing, directing and controlling of the cadet corps. You'll prepare briefings, written communications and interviews. You'll also help design guidance, information and other services needed to increase the motivation and performance of other cadets. There will be many opportunities for you to be a leader because the class is run by cadets. A select number of upcoming seniors are chosen for advanced training where they spend two or three weeks on an Air Force base. If selected, you'll be paid to work and learn. Your housing and meals will be provided, and the government will pay for your transportation. It's a great opportunity to see the Air Force in action. You'll see officers doing the same work you'll be doing after graduation. Students in the Four-Year Program must satisfactorily complete the requirements of the GMC, which includes course work and a four-week summer training course at an Air Force base. Completion of the GMC qualifies cadets for application for admission to the POC. To qualify for entry into the POC, a student must be a United States citizen, be at least 17 years of age, qualify on the Air Force physical examination, be interviewed and selected by a board of Air Force officers, qualify on the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT), successfully complete field training, and have two academic years remaining (undergraduate, graduate, or a combination of the two). Students in the Two-Year Program will complete the GMC requirements at a six-week summer training course at an Air Force base. The entrance requirements for the six-week program are the same as for the four-week program. Once a student enters the last two years of AFROTC, successful completion of the POC course becomes a requirement for commissioning. In addition, when entering the final two years, a student must agree to accept an Air Force commission if it is offered and to serve on active duty if directed to do so. Upon initial enrollment at the university, students should schedule aerospace courses to be completed simultaneously with requirements for a university degree.
