Application Process

Upon arrival to Det 009, you will be asked to complete a short array of paperwork. This will take approximately 60-90 minutes and should be scheduled via appointment, if possible. During this time, we will ask for your personal information and provide you with a few briefings. We will then use this information to evaluate you for general membership eligibility and establish you as an active cadet. 
 
To accomplish this task, we will require a few original documents and other information you may not otherwise be able to readily recall; to speed this process along, bring these items with you to your initial visit. So you are aware, we will make copies for our records and return the originals to you immediately.  If you do not have any of these documents available, we will still complete the inprocessing as best we can and we will establish a suspense for you to provide the rest.
 
All cadets require:

  • Original Certified Birth Certificate (Long Form)
  • Original Signed Social Security Card
  • Completed Sports Physical – The AFROTC Form 28, is our required document. Contact us and we will provide this to you. Please do not use a web search to find this, as you may end up with an out of date form which will be unacceptable.
  • Original Transcripts for all previously completed and graded, college-accredited courses
  • Selective Service card or printout from SSS.gov – Males over 18 only

 
Bring if applicable:

  • Dual Citizens or Non-US or Naturalized Citizens - Passport, Naturalization Certificate, or Alien Resident documentation
  • SAT and/or ACT scores – A print out from their website is acceptable
  • DD214 for all applicants with prior military service
  • Certificates for Civil Air Patrol awards
  • Completion letter and/or certificates for JROTC participation or completion
  • Certificate of Eagle Scout appointment or Girl Scout Gold Award
  • DD Form 785 and DD Form 4 for previously disenrolled cadets from any branch of an ROTC program or military service academy

Additional information you will need to know:

  • Location, date, authority, and disposition information for any previous civil involvement (tickets), to include moving violations or any other offense – If you are unsure, you should obtain a copy of your driving record from your local DMV.
  • Parent or other emergency contact name and phone number

 
We will be happy to answer questions about any of the items above.
