Aerospace Studies (Air Force ROTC)

Our primary objective in the AFROTC program is to "produce quality second Lieutenants for the U.S. Air Force". This primary objective as our program learning outcome will result in officers ready to lead and serve in the U.S. Air Force in the 21st century. Cadets at Detachment 045 have a more unique college experience than most other college students. Once a week, cadets attend ROTC classes taught by commissioned Air Force officers (cadre members). These classes are worth one to three credits at San Jose State University, and are part of all cadets' class schedules. In these classes, cadets are taught about Air Force history, customs and courtesies, and leadership skills.Every Friday, cadets attend a mandatory Leadership Laboratory (LLab) from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. This is an opportunity for the older cadets to practice their leadership skills, while younger cadets learn basic, but essential, skills such as marching and uniform wear. With the cadre's approval, cadet officer organize LLab as a training environment for all cadets. Cadets are required to be in uniform all day during LLab day. Though it can be demanding, LLab is a great time for cadets to get to know one another and work together as a team. Physical fitness is a necessity at Detachment 045. Cadets are expected to exercise during their free time. They also have the opportunity to participate in Physical Training (PT). PT takes place in the mornings during the week, it focuses on running and strength training. These physical fitness opportunities are offered because cadets must pass the Fitness Assessment (FA), which consists of a mile and a half run, sit-ups, and push-ups. It is important that all cadets pass the FA so that they may qualify for Field Training and AFROTC scholarships.
