General Military Course (GMC)
In your first one or two years of AFROTC, known as the General Military Course (GMC), you’ll receive mentorship, development, and evaluation for your potential as an Air Force or Space Force Officer.
- Engage in academic courses focused on military and leadership principles.
- Participate in Physical Training (PT) to build fitness and discipline.
- Demonstrate leadership abilities in weekly Leadership Laboratories throughout the academic year.
Successful candidates proceed to Field Training, a rigorous program at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama, evaluating abilities in stress handling, leadership, and physical fitness. Completion qualifies you for enrollment in the Professional Officer Course.
Professional Officer Course (POC)
The Professional Officer Course (POC) is designed to prepare you for an Officer role in the Air or Space Force, focusing on leadership and Joint Warfare. POC members have the unique opportunity to lead the Cadet Wing, planning week-to-week operations and major events such as base visits and the Military Ball.
Upon successful completion, you'll graduate and be commissioned as an Officer in the Air Force. POC members in good standing (meeting GPA, AFOQT, PT scores, etc.) are automatically eligible for a two-year scholarship—the Charles McGhee Leadership Award.
