AFROTC New Student Orientation Program
Called "N-SOP" for short, this is an orientation day for incoming cadets from all of our area schools. Parents are welcome and we typically hold this event the Saturday before classes begin at the ÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø. At this event, the Detachment Commmander adresses future cadets and thier parents to discuss our program and what you can expect from him and the rest of the staff. There are brief presentations on scholarships and cool summer opportunities like the the Freefall and Glider programs at the Air Force Academy, or summer internships with the Space Force. Finally, the cadet leadership talks you through the weekly schedule and answers any remaining questions. Parents are usually dismissed before lunch while the new cadets meet thier peers and cadet leadership while doing some fun activities and ultimately eating pizza. The orientation event is designed to get new cadets and thier parents from nervous to EXCITED about getting started!
