Detachment 650's Mission:

"To recruit, develop, and commission trustworthy, selfless, and professional Second Lieutenants for service to the Nation."

Welcome to the official AFROTC Detachment 650 Webpage! Our program is designed to produce quality military officers for the United States Air Force and the Nation. It is a two- to four-year program, geared to growing outstanding leaders with a broad set of personal, professional, leadership and managerial skills useful in both the Air Force and civilian worlds.   Academic, time-management, communications and interpersonal skills are just some of the areas our program develops, and every cadet is challenged to push themselves into new areas of personal growth daily.

No matter what career field you are interested in, Air Force ROTC can help you achieve your personal goals. We offer scholarships to competitively selected high school seniors, and provide opportunities to earn scholarships after you begin your college career at Ohio University. Cadets receive free tutoring from the Academic Advancement Center and learn in an open, friendly environment built on the idea of cadets helping one another learn and grow.

If selected for an AFROTC scholarship at Ohio University, you may be able to attend college with little or no out-of-pocket expenses.  In addition to the scholarships available, Ohio University provides a generous room and board subsidy for all AFROTC scholarship recipients at the school.

At Ohio University, Air Force ROTC is administratively part of University College.

COMMANDER'S CALL

On behalf of Air Force ROTC Detachment 650 and the Bobcat Wing, I'd like to welcome you to our webpage. Our detachment has a long, proud history as one of the first Air Force ROTC detachments in the nation, at the oldest and one of the finest public universities in the state of Ohio.

Our partnership with Ohio University has produced over 1500 top-notch commissioned officers since 1948, with distinguished alumni that include four general officers and two members of the US Air Force Thunderbirds (one of whom became the unit commander and lead solo pilot).  Ohio University's superb academic programs, outstanding support of our detachment and picturesque setting creates a unique environment to grow world-class officers, fit to lead American airmen in times of both peace and war.

I want to thank you for your interest in our program, and challenge you to consider being a part of something bigger than yourself, serving this great Nation of ours as a United States Air Force officer.
