What is the ROTC training schedule?
The standard ROTC training schedule consists of two hours of class, three weekly PT sessions, one monthly lab, a field training exercise (FTX), each semester, and two social functions. At the labs, cadets will participate in adventure training such as rappeling, orienteering and water survival, as well as learn light infantry tactics. All of these activities develop critical-thinking and team-building skills, as well as offer a unique environment in which to learn. The social functions are another aspect of military life and offer a fun time to bond with peers and instructors in a formal, but relaxed, environment.
