Do you have what it Takes?

In the Air Force Explorer's Program, we'll get you ready to make that challenge after High School. After BMT Graduation or Cadet/Officer's Candidate School Commissioning, training continues with Officership, Supervisory, Leadership, Life Support/SERE, and Personal Development Courses. Specialty Career Training also begins in 'Airmanship', 'Special Tactics', 'Air Intelligence', 'Flight Medicine.' Other available Air Force Specialty training areas where available. This is a 'Year-Round After-School' Program... meeting 1 night/week (either Tuesday, Wedsnesday, or Thursday nights), and 1-2 Saturdays (Thanksgiving Week & last two weeks of the year are excluded). If you think you have what it takes, you're going to have to prove it! Come down to a Unit Orientation, and if we peak your interest... sign up for the next Board Interview. See you there!
