Base Visit

Every year our cadets get the opportunity to visit a base (Offutt AFB in Omaha, Nebraska; Ellsworth AFB in Rapid City, South Dakota or Grand Forks AFB in Grand Forks, North Dakota). This experience allows cadets to see an Air Force Base, job shadow with different military officer career fields and to do a Q&A session with other officers and enlisted Airmen to gain unique perspectives that only a visit can provide. It's also a time for cadets to have fun and bond as a detachment.
