AUBURN UNIVERSITY
AFROTC Classes:
Field Training:
AIRF 1010/1011 (Freshmen) – Foundations of the USAF
AIRF 2010/2011 (Sophomores) – Evolution of Air & Space Power
AIRF 3010/3011 (Juniors) – Air Force Leadership
AIRF 4010/4011 (Seniors) – National Security Strategies/Prep for Active

For all courses in AFROTC, you will be issued textbooks and a syllabus
that will highlight key events and standards of behaviors expected for
student proficiency.
All AFROTC cadets must attend field training in the summer between their
second and third year. Field training is AFROTC’s version of “basic
training”, but Field Training will not just test a cadet’s ability to perform
under stress, it is meant to evaluate military discipline and Air Force
leadership potential. This is a cadet’s final evaluation in leadership,
followership, and teambuilding before they will be allowed to enter the
Professional Officer Course. Field Training is four weeks long and takes
place at Maxwell AFB, AL.
Leadership Lab:
Qualifications required for AFROTC participation:
Leadership Lab (LLAB) is a two-hour course that works in conjunction
with your regular Air Force academic class. LLAB provides you with the
“hands-on” practice in leadership that you previously learned in the
classroom. Your experiences in Leadership Lab will prepare you for your
career as a commissioned officer. Just as you take a chemistry lab as part
of your chemistry class, so will you take Leadership Lab in the AFROTC
program. At Auburn University, LLAB is built into your academic schedule
and currently meets every Thursday, 3:30-5:30 pm. You will wear your
uniform all day on LLAB day.
Physical Training:
All cadets are required to participate in Physical Training (PT) as part of
the Leadership Lab (LLAB). The PT schedule is subject to change each
semester based on the needs of the Cadet Wing. PT attendance is
currently required on Tuesday morning from 0600-0700, and cadets must
attend at least one of the additional PT days on Monday or Thursday
morning from 0600-0700 to meet their weekly AFROTC requirement. PT
activities vary from day to day. Expect an exciting workout that will build
up your strength and endurance in preparation for the Air Force PT test
that is administered each semester. Workouts include cardiovascular
circuits, ability group runs, and athletic competitions by class. If you are
not in shape, get ready to get in shape!
