What is the weekly time commitment?
During the first and second years of the program, the weekly commitment consists of a one hour class on Tuesday afternoons in South Bend. On Sunday evenings, there is flight practice for freshmen and sophomores. Flight practice concentrates on teaching GMC cadets drill and ceremonies. Occasionally there are activities that take place of a lead lab or class, such as a Dining-In. Other optional events include ski trips, Air Force base visits, paint-balling, and extra physical conditioning. There is also two hours of required physical training per week. One of those hours is at the mandatory PT session on Thursday evenings. So overall, freshmen and sophomores have five hours of commitment per week. Juniors and seniors have slightly more with their three hour class on Tuesdays and time devoted to planning Wing activities.
