As an Air Force ROTC cadet you will take part in formal and informal social activities like academic tutoring, intramural sports, military balls, tailgate cookouts and more.

MILITARY FUNCTIONS

Get a taste of time-honored military traditions with functions such as military parades, drill, ceremonies and military balls.

Dining-In – Cadets and cadreMembers of the AFROTC faculty population. participate in a "military only" banquet, complete with requisite customs and courtesies (uniform is semiformal dress or mess dress). You'll hear a distinguished guest speaker and experience unique military traditions.

Dining-Out – Cadets and cadre, with spouses and guests, attend a formal banquet, with many of the same customs and courtesies as Dining-In. It's a time to honor cadet accomplishments during the year and hear a fascinating guest speaker in an enjoyable "black-tie" setting.

Warrior Dining-In – A less formal and more fun version of the Dining-In. You'll wear the Battle Dress Uniform with camouflage face paint. Unlike Dining-Out, a Warrior Dining-In usually does not have guest speakers. A variation of this, the Combat Dining-In, can involve water-gun battles and trips to the infamous "grog bowl."

Balls – Military balls are a great combination of military tradition and fun. You and your date come in formal military dress. Military balls usually include meals, distinguished speakers and music.

Social Activities – You’ll work hard. But you’ll also play hard. From football tailgates before the big game to skit nights or just hanging around with your friends, there are plenty of opportunities to meet new people and develop lifelong friendships. Not to mention, you can still be fully involved in other university social clubs, organizations and activities.
