Welcome

United States Air Force ROTC

Detachment 840

Texas State University

Air Force ROTC is a unique opportunity to achieve something few ever do:

Upon graduation, you receive a commission - an officer's rank - issued by the President of the United States.

Our program accepts academically strong students who have a desire to serve and lead by doing something more, something bigger than usual.

You are foremost a student doing our officer training as an elective: ROTC is not active duty until after you graduate.

We will train and challenge you to improve yourself both physically and mentally. You will receive extensive leadership training coupled with actual leadership experience and will have the opportunity to excel in many ways. We reward those who perform well:

Travel and study abroad opportunities
Scholarships
Technical internships

After graduation you will have a great job waiting for you with the opportunity to turn it into a rewarding career as an officer, or to use it as a stepping stone into the civilian career of your choice.

If you think you're ready for the challenge, the responsibility, and the opportunity, then please contact us.
