As this semester comes to a close, us sophomores in ROTC need to start preparing for Field Training, which takes place over summer from sophomore to junior year. It is a rigorous 5-week long program at Maxwell AFB, Alabama used to train and test your aptitude to become an Air Force Officer. The get ready for that, the spring semester of your sophomore year is designed to emulate certain aspects of the program to spectate how you all work under pressure and stress. The freshman still have a pretty lax semester, but get an insight on what to expect when it is their turn.
I don't know too much about Field Training itself, because you're not supposed to tell anyone anything about it. You're supposed to go in there fresh without knowing what to expect, anything else is considered "speeding" and is highly frowned upon because it gives an unfair advantage. What I do know is that it is very challenging both physically and mentally, and you better know your stuff when you get there or you'll get ripped apart.
A lot of people tell me they think I will do really well though, so that helps me be a little more relaxed about it. If I rank high against my peers at the end, it should give me a huge boost in competitiveness while applying for an ENJJPT slot.
