To reinforce classroom learning, cadets participate in many extracurricular and social activities. A formal dinner allows cadets to develop close friendships and provides valuable exposure to Air Force customs and traditions. Field trips to military bases, aerospace facilities, museums, aerospace industries, civilian airports, summer leadership schools and officer training schools, play a vital role in providing cadets with a well-rounded experience. Cadets can also benefit from participation in activities such as drill teams, honor guards, military balls, newspaper staff, and academic groups. These activities motivate cadets, provide leadership training, reinforce the formal curriculum, and enhance the overall cadet learning experience.
