Welcome new cadets!  This page will be your source of information for New Student Orientation (NSO), as well as multiple orientation videos you can use to prepare for your first day at Air Force ROTC at Detachment 290!   Our scheduled NSO dates are 12 August for the virtual welcome and 13 August for the in-person stations (uniform measurments, PT gear issue, photographs, and enlistment/contracting for all scholarship cadets).  Additional details will be emailed to you and posted here regarding the NSO events.

Please see the download links below to download your applicable packet with the paperwork we need you to complete prior to the start of the first semester.  These items need to be completed by 7 August 2020.  In addition to the paperwork below, you will need to register for an online account in our AFROTC "WINGS" program.  WINGS is used to store all your personal files and information in the AFROTC program.  You can set up your WINGS account at the link below, and refer to the WINGS Guide for additional help.
