Detachment 730

AFROTC Cadet Life

At Detachment 730, ROTC is about more than just Aerospace Studies class, Leadership Lab, & physical training. We participate in community service, volunteer at honor guard events, hold morale building activities, & more. Check out some of the ways we spend time together & help enrich the community.

Morale Events

Throughout the year, cadets will often take a few hours out of their busy schedules to spend time having fun participating in activities such as paintball, intramural sports, movie nights, and potluck dinners.

Throughout the year, cadets volunteer and participate in various events honoring our nation’s traditions and values, such as naturalization ceremonies, vigils, and the presentation of our nation’s colors.
