AFROTC Cadet Life

Cadet Life

Being a cadet is one part of being a college student. At Detachment 305, cadets balance classes and campus activities with AFROTC training, finding teammates and friends along the way. Cadet life also extends beyond the classroom through professional development, sports, service, and opportunities to represent the detachment. 

Professional Development 

Cadets can compete for summer internships and Officer Development Training (ODT) opportunities beyond campus. Depending on the program, they may explore Air Force and Space Force missions, work alongside professionals, or gain experience in a field that interests them. 

AFROTC cadets play intramural flag football.

Intramurals

Intramurals give cadets a chance to compete, stay active, and spend time together outside training. The games help build the friendships that make Detachment 305 a team.

Color Guard

Color Guard gives cadets an opportunity to represent Detachment 305 at ceremonies and football games. Each presentation calls for practice, attention to detail, and teamwork. 

AFROTC Cadets help with yardwork in the Ruston community.

Serving the Community

Service is part of cadet life beyond campus and training. Through volunteer opportunities and events such as The Big Event, cadets work together to give back to the community around Louisiana Tech.
