AFROTC Det 010 ENROLLMENT
Looking for a challenge that builds leaders and opens doors?!
Air Force ROTC Detachment 010 at the University of Alabama prepares students to become Commissioned Officers in the United States Air Force or the United States Space Force. This professional development program runs alongside your college education, focusing on leadership, integrity, and service all while you earn your degree.
Why Consider AFROTC ?
Earn a college degree and commission as a Second Lieutenant upon graduation.
Compete for financial scholarships that can reduce the cost of college.
Develop leadership skills, discipline, and real-world experience valued in any profession.
Train with purpose, serve your country, and push yourself beyond the classroom.
