What goes on in Leadership Lab (LLAB)?
Leadership and management experience is gained in ROTC through a series of Leadership Laboratories (LLAB). The cadet corps staff manages LLAB with a detachment officer overseeing all activities. LLAB is held once a week to practice and demonstrate practical command and staff leadership skills, drill and ceremonies, customs and courtesies, and career decision-making. LLAB may also integrate squadron competitions, physical fitness exercises, guest speakers, warrior runs, and service-oriented outings, to name a few. While freshmen practice military fundamentals, sophomores focus on skills to prepare them for field training. At the same time, juniors are working on building leadership skills as new POCs, and the seniors are managing, mentoring and training others altogether.
