Why MSU Air Force ROTC
Cadet Spotlight
The summer of 2024, Cadet Michael Green held the position of Cadet Training Assistant (CTA) For the United States Air Force (USAFA) Prep School Basic Military Training (BMT), an amazing opportunity. There he was able to work with, learn, and instruct along side senior NCOs, sets this ODT apart from any other.
As a ROTC cadet, CTAs are allowed a sneak peek into Academy life and to gain insight on what Air Force BMT looks like. He fondly recalls getting to work with new people, building confidence in a new environment, and learning leadership as well as training management skills.
“My time as a USAFA Prep School CTA was an amazing opportunity and experience.”
