  • Most days, our Physical Training sessions are intense and focus on cardio-respiratory endurance, upper body strength, and core strength. To celebrate a successful official Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) last Thursday, Det. 370 cadets partook in some friendly kickball competition this morning to foster teamwork and build camaraderie.
  • On Saturday December 3rd, the Arnold Air Society candidates joined with some current members on a hike to end the semester on a high note. They even enjoyed MRE's on a summit while hiking the Mt. Holyoke Range State Park.
  • General Military Course cadets took over the wing and led some end-of-semester friendly competition with capture the flag as well as several engaging Group Leadership Projects. The takeover is a great opportunity for young freshman and sophomore cadets to get a taste of what it is like to lead the wing for a week!
  • The Air Force and Army ROTC cadets participated in the Veteran’s Day ceremony outside of the UMass Memorial Hall on 10 November. The cadets then continued the time-honored tradition of guarding the flag throughout the night and enjoyed each other’s company in Memorial Hall.
  • On November 17th, cadets participated in a teambuilding PT session. Each of the class years joined forces to complete a variety of push-ups, core exercises, and sprints.

Perspectives of an AS300

This is posting is a culmination of one AS300 student's experience as a third year Det 370 Air Force ROTC cadet. 

Field Training is a twenty-one-day event at Maxwell Air Force Base (AFB), Alabama that evaluates AFROTC cadet’s potential to become officers. Although is both physically and mentally challenging, you feel an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment upon receiving your “prop and wings” at graduation. I would say that most cadets, after finishing Field Training, are excited to begin a new year of Air Force ROTC.
