Before the first day of school, incoming freshmen are already learning valuable life skills through Air Force JROTC Basic Cadet Training (BCT). During this five-day program, students learn drill movements, physical training, classroom expectations, and the Air Force core values of integrity, service, and excellence.

But BCT isn't just for freshmen. The program also gives upperclassmen the opportunity to practice leadership, mentorship, and teamwork while helping the next generation of cadets succeed.
