Air Force ROTC offers more than your regular semester activities.  Want to experience real Air Force jobs?  Travel the country or world?  Jump out of perfectly good airplanes?  Learn combat skills & arms training?  These and more are called Professional Development Training (PDT) and you can sign up for these slots during your freshman (AS 100) and junior (AS 300) years.  Outstanding, motivated and very involved cadets get picked to attend such training during the summer between spring and fall semesters.  If selected, you will get paid on Air Force orders to attend training sessions across the U.S. and even around the world!  All expenses are paid for by the Air Force while you attend these training sessions, including travel expenses, room & board, food, and per diem.  Like stated before, on top of that you will receive a paycheck for the time you're in training!  With PDTs, the Air Force is willing to help you experience travel and diverse training as cadets, even before you get to Active Duty!  PDTs are some of the best experiences you'll have as a cadet at Detachment 088 to further your character development as future Air Force Officers.  See our contact information page of this website if you have any questions.
