Air Force ROTC
The Home of the Flying Tigers
Welcome to AFROTC Detachment 310 at Louisiana State
University


Program Details

The General Military Course (GMC) is taken during the freshman and sophomore years. All full-time students can join. See the "How To Join" section.
The first two years incur no service commitment for non-scholarship cadets.
Students who complete the GMC progress into the second half of the program, the Professional Officer's Course (POC) for their junior and senior years of college. During the POC years, cadets are expected to lead the GMC cadets by organizing leadership labs and physical training, among other events.
Take advantage of the opportunity to test out the Department of the Air Force and see if you have what it takes to become an officer and leader!
