Air Force ROTC Detachment 005

Air Force ROTC Detachment 005 This site serves as the Public Affairs page for Detachment 005. Recruiting Officer: [email protected] Give our receptionist, Ms.

Detachment 005 is a unit of the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) which operates out of Auburn University. As an AFROTC unit, our mission charge is to develop quality leaders for the Air Force; more specifically, to produce the best Air Force Officers who go on to serve in our Nation's military. As an AFROTC cadet, your life looks fairly similar to a typical college student on the

outside. However, behind the facade of civilian wear, our cadets develop over the span of their undergraduate degrees into an elite group of extremely professional Air Force Officers of high character and sound judgement. Here at Det 005, we pride ourselves in our fine history of commissioned officers. Will you be one of the few who carries on our trend of excellence? Mary Doiron, a call at the number below and schedule your detachment tour today!

TW02 Complete ✓

As we get into the full swing of the semester, the intensity of training has continued to increase!

Our AS100s have continued developing their marching fundamentals while learning to adapt to different situations and environments. Our AS200s built on their flight marching foundations by progressing into squadron marching.

Our POC have been working hard to uphold the standard while developing new training methods and leading the wing throughout the semester.

During PT, all cadets pushed themselves through a combination of strength training and cardio circuits, maintaining a positive attitude and motivating one another every step of the way.

The semester is off to a strong start, and we’re excited to see the continued growth and improvement of every cadet. Here’s to another great week of training!

And we’re officially back!

This week, all AS classes resumed training and classes, kicking off TW01 strong.

Our AS100s completed their first official LLAB and PT, focusing on the fundamentals and proper form during performance. Our AS200s jumped right back into marching and classroom instruction with their first quiz of the semester. Meanwhile, our AS300s and AS400+ sharpened new training skills while leading and mentoring the GMC. Returning cadets also started the semester with a long run, getting back into the rhythm of PT and setting the tone for the weeks ahead.

Here’s to a great semester—Aim High!
