VIEW CAREER FIELDS

STEP 1. REGISTER FOR NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION (NSO)

New Student Orientation is your opportunity to learn and ask questions about AFROTC. It is also where you start your journey, should you choose to pursue a commission in the U.S. Air Force or Space Force!
Fall 2025 NSO (22 Aug 25) 
(make sure you scroll down to fill out the form completely)

Step 2. Complete a sports physical ​

Download File

​​Make an appointment with a medical provider to complete a sports physical ASAP. You can normally complete this appointment with your primary care physician, a walk-in clinic (Urgent Care, CVS, Walgreens, etc.), or a school clinic. Take action on this step ASAP because you will need to supply this completed form at your future In-Processing appointment with cadre. As you work through completing the form, please continue on with the remaining steps in this list.

*** If you have a qualified DoDMERB, you do not need to do this step. Please contact one of the cadre members to confirm ***


IMPORTANT: YOU MUST PRINT AND USE THE ATTACHED AFROTC FORM 28!

Step 3. Create online Profile (WINGS) & fill out necessary information

*IMPORTANT*
​If you already have a WINGS account (HSSP applicants, prior applicants, etc.), please use your existing login to apply.
Click the link to the left to visit WINGS and select "Apply for AFROTC." Download the guide to the left for step-by-step instructions.

Once your WINGS profile is created, ensure you add your beneficiary information in WINGS. If you have any questions on this, please email Lt Col Blackburn at [email protected]


In addition, during the application you will need to report any past offenses, violations of law or ordinance, or any other adverse involvements with civil, military, or school authorities. This includes parking and speeding tickets, even if they were dismissed and were not officially reported on your record! 
​
Write down your WINGS username and password! You will need it throughout your AFROTC career. We recommend using a password manager like LastPass (paid) or Bitwarden (free) for safekeeping.

STEP 4. COMPLETE Required Documents USING ADOBE SIGN

Once your WINGS account is created, send an email to TSgt Durago at [email protected] requesting for required Enrollment Application documents.

​IMPORTANT: Cadre WILL require you to reschedule the meeting if this step is not accomplished first.

The forms designated as "Enrollment Application Documents"  are as follows:​
  • DD Form 2005 (Health Care Records)
  • Drug Demand Reduction Program (DDRP) MOU
  • Mail Access Authorization Form
  • Release of Student Records Form​
  • DD Form 2983 (Recruit/Trainee Prohibited Activities)
  • ​AF Form 2030 (USAF Drug & Alcohol Abuse Certificate)

All other required forms will be uploaded as "OTHER" in your WINGS Account. The list is as follows:​​
  • Prior College Transcripts (if applicable) 
    • Unofficial transcripts are acceptable for this section

​Additional documents to be uploaded (if applicable):
  • Private Pilots License 
  • Civil Air Patrol Award 
  • JROTC Certification
  • Boy Scout or Girl Scout Certification
  • DD Form 4 - Enlistment Contract (for current and prior service members)

Use the button to Register for AS Class. Reference the file named "fall25_crns.png" to assist with class registration.

Cross-town students (non-LMU students) will need to create an account to start a new application.

After you have successfully registered for classes, LMU will need to process the request before you can proceed to Step 7. Processing times vary, contact the cadre team via email to check for status.

** DO NOT PROCEED TO STEP 7 UNLESS YOU HAVE COMPLETED
THE WINGS APPLICATION AND ALL OTHER STEPS ABOVE  **


The following steps require you to have an LMU.edu account, which is set up for you in STEP 6.

STEP 7. Obtain LMU Onecard ​

You will need an LMU student ID (also known as a "OneCard") for access to LMU's campus. 
​
​The office is open from 8a.m. - 5p.m., Monday - Friday (excluding university holidays). Be sure to give yourself ample time to obtain the OneCard as there will be other students getting their card.  For location and details, please visit this link: https://admin.lmu.edu/onecard/

Ensure that you have either of the following ID’s available: 
  • U.S. driver's license issued by DMV
  • State issued ID
  • Passport
  • U.S. Military card

Step 8. Make an appointment with cadre
