I have a variety of questions about AFROTC. I was hoping someone might answer them! Thank you in advance.
1) I'll be attending Georgetown University in the fall as a Arabic major. However, Georgetown only offers AROTC, and I'd like to go into the Air Force, so I'll be doing it crosstown at Det 130, Howard University. Are crosstown students at a big disadvantage? As an Arabic major, I know Georgetown will be very rigorous, and I know ROTC is about more than just PT and classes + Leadership Lab. It's also about getting to know your fellow cadets and your cadre, participating in events, etc.
I won't have a car with me, so I'll be relying on DC's public transportation. Any insight or tips about this?
2) Does anyone have experience with Howard University's AFROTC detachment? I can't find much information about it online. I'll be doing AFROTC no matter what, I'm just curious and itching to know more.
3) At Georgetown, foreign language majors are required to spend at least a semester abroad. Will this disqualify me from ROTC? Is there a way I can "double up" on classes one semester so I can study abroad the next?
4) How can I prepare myself for AFROTC in the fall? I'm running every other day and doing upper body/core workouts for physical preparation. What else can I do?
Thank you for your time.
