Section 1: Welcome & AFROTC Overview
Words from your Spring 2017 Wing Commander:
Welcome to AFROTC Detachment 040,
I commend you on taking the first step towards a major change in your life. It is a direction not many people
decide to follow. This program will develop you as both a leader and follower, and will instill a sense of military
discipline and camaraderie that is unforgettable. Even if, later down the line, you find this lifestyle is not for you, the
knowledge and skills you will gain from your time here will be invaluable.
-Cadet Colonel Randall Howe
Cadet Classifications (AFROTCI 36-2010)
General Military Course (GMC; two categories)
- First two years in AFROTC - Focus: learn basic leadership & followership skills, strive for unity, and compete for Field Training
Initial Military Training (IMT): Training in this course will focus on fostering leadership, followership,
teamwork, and esprit de corps. Typically AS100s.
Field Training Preparation (FTP): Provide cadets eligible to compete for the opportunity to attend Field
Training with the mental and physical skills needed to succeed in the AFROTC Field Training environment.
Typically AS200s/250s.
Professional Officer Course (POC; three categories)
- Final two years in AFROTC
- Leaders who train, plan, and supervise cadet wing
Intermediate Cadet Leader (ICL): Provide cadets returning from Field Training sufficient opportunities to
demonstrate and develop the leadership and management skills needed to successfully function as active
duty officers. Typically AS300s.
Senior Cadet Leader (SCL): Provide cadets to be commissioned additional opportunities to demonstrate and
develop the leadership and management skills needed to successfully function as active duty officers and to
adequately prepare them to transition from the AFROTC environment to active duty. Typically AS400s.
Field Training (FT) – In order to enter the POC, GMC cadets must compete for and receive an enrollment allocation
(EA) to attend Field Training. Your AS200 APAS will explain selection criteria.
Here is a breakdown of the ranks you will see on cadets’ uniforms – this will help you distinguish who is GMC and who
is POC.
4
Ranks (AFI 36-2903 and AFROTC Supplement)
Ranks that are displayed with straight lines are the POC and are to be addressed as “Sir” or “Ma’am” (see figure 1).
Cadets with slanted lines or chevrons are the GMC and are to be addressed as “Cadet (last name)” (see figure 2). In
addition to greeting the POC Cadets, be especially alert to Cadre members – Officers and Enlisted service members –
who also should be greeted. Officer ranks are placed on the collar – similar placements as the POC and GMC ranks.
Enlisted ranks are placed on the sleeve of the uniform (see figure 4).

Section 3: Staying Informed
A. Cadet Website (www.det040.com, password: airpower)
The detachment website has a lot of pertinent information from instructions and guidance
manuals to pictures. The most important item on the website is the Operations Order (Op Ord). It
is published weekly and required to be read ahead of time and be on your person for Friday
training.
B. Detachment Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/afrotcdet040)
You are encouraged to “like” our Facebook Page via the link above to keep up-to-date on activities
occurring at the Detachment itself and important information.
C. GMC Facebook Page
We encourage all new GMC to connect with the rest of the GMC through Facebook and other
means. Reach out to the Spring 2017 General Military Course Advisor (GMCA) to get in started.
Cadet 3rd class Hansel Suharli
(714) 726-8538
Be sure to mention that you are a new cadet and he will do his best to help you prepare for LLAB 1.
8
Section 4: Practical Military Training (PMT)
All Detachment 040 activities fall into one of three categories: Mandatory PMT, Voluntary PMT,
and non-PMT. All mandatory and voluntary professional military training activities must have
training value, a supervision plan, and follow prescribed safety instructions.
Mandatory PMT activities are limited to:
• 5 hours per week for GMC cadets (2 hours LLAB, 3 hours PT*)
• 6 hours per week for POC cadets (3 hours LLAB, 3 hours PT*) *Det 040 specific requirement: 4 hours of PT per week for all cadets*
Cadets who are injured while participating in PMT (mandatory or voluntary) are covered by
Department of Labor medical coverage. Be sure to inform Cadre if you are injured such that
medical coverage paperwork is completely correctly and in a timely fashion.
Mandatory PMT
o LLAB and PT activities.
Voluntary PMT
o Any other AFROTC-sponsored activities such as base visits, conflict LLABs, drill
team and honor guard events, or additional FT preparation classes.
o The weekly Operations Order and/or cadet agenda will clearly annotate what
planned activities are voluntary.
Non-PMT o All other activities, such as Arnold Air Society, the Flying Lions, MWR events, flight
meetings, and so on o Cadets are not covered by Department of Labor medical coverage while
participating in non-PMT activities. Injuries sustained during non-PMT could result in loss of AFROTC eligibility and benefits.

Section 5: Absence Procedures
Cadets must be present for at least 80% of scheduled LLAB activities in order to pass. In addition,
cadets are required to receive training on all mandatory LLAB objectives. Depending on the
activities planned during an absence, it is possible that a cadet who exceeds 80% attendance may
still require make-up work in order to meet mandatory training requirements for a particular
objective.
To be marked “present” for LLAB, each cadet must check-in in the Detachment at the computer.
Cadets who arrive late to the training activities and miss the opportunity to check-in electronically
are required to communicate through their chain of command to ensure that their attendance is
correctly recorded. Attendance rosters will be updated on the Detachment website and you’ll be
held responsible for its accuracy.
When possible, communicate absences in advance with your cadet flight commander – see
attachment 1 for LLAB Letter of Absence (LOA); you must use the LOA to be excused from any
mandatory training activities. Your APAS will provide in his/her AS class syllabus with the proper
MFR template for AS class Letter of Absence – pay attention to the differences in the attached LOA
compared to the AS class LOA. Note that excusals from AS class do no automatically result in
excusals from LLAB (and vice versa). If you will miss a mandatory training event, you are required
to coordinate any necessary make-up work with the Accountability Officer. You will then obtain
alternative attendance credit by participating in scheduled voluntary training events and/or by
completing individualized make-up work that covers the objective(s) that you missed.
10
Section 6: E-mail Protocol
Whenever you send an e-mail to someone of higher rank, you must show respect, be concise,
and get your point across. The proper components of a correct e-mail are (and are strictly
confined to these contents):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Greeting of the day, see Section 10(b)) rank and name of superior (if Cadre) or name of superior (if Cadet),
Sir/ma’am, here I will state my request or accomplish the purpose of the e-mail.
Very respectfully, Cadet (last name) //SIGNED// FIRST MI. LAST, C/Rank, AFROTC Job Position or Alpha Flight Cadet AFROTC Detachment 040 (AETC) Loyola Marymount University ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example,
Good morning Cadet Jones,
Sir, I wanted to let you know that I’m going to be running 5 min late to LLAB.
Very respectfully,
Cadet Valdez

Section 7: Retention Standards
A. Minimum Requirements
There are several things that you’ll need to do to stay in the AFROTC program. These are the
minimum requirements for non-contract cadets. You must:
Be a full-time student at LMU or one of our 54 cross-town schools which can be found here:
http://academics.lmu.edu/afrotc/crosstownschools/
Cumulative GPA above 2.5 to be competitive for FT and scholarships
Be within Height & Weight and Body-Mass Index standards
Attempt the Physical Fitness Assessment each semester
Scheduling and completing Term Counseling with your Assistant Professor in Aerospace
Studies (APAS)
Completing a Form 48 (academic plan) and having it reviewed and signed by your school’s
academic advisor upon entering AFROTC and then again every Fall semester.
Pass LLAB & Aerospace Studies Class (Your professor will hand out their respective
syllabus).
Contract cadets have more stringent requirements, such as a minimum GPA of 2.5 and the need to
pass the PFA every time it is offered. Your contract will outline everything.
B. Civil Involvements
You must have no serious involvement with civil, military, or school authorities (i.e. law
enforcement). All incidents, regardless of severity, must be reported to the Detachment staff
within 72 hours of occurrence (when school is in session). You must hold yourself to a higher
standard while participating in the program and know that any improper conduct (especially
alcohol-related) may result in dismissal from AFROTC.
12
Section 8: Physical Training (PT)
Physical fitness activities are a mandatory component of the Detachment LLAB curriculum, and as
such, cadets are required to attend at least 80% of mandatory PT events in order to pass.
New cadets must become PT eligible within 30 days of the start of the semester. To become PT
eligible, new cadets must complete a Health Questionnaire, receive a safety briefing, and complete
either a certified DoDMERB physical or a Pre-Participatory Sports Physical. Upon completion of all
required PT-eligibility tasks, new cadets will be issued their PT uniforms. Cadets who have not
completed the required tasks and/or have not been issued PT uniforms will not participate in any
mandatory PT event.
Detachment 040 cadets are required to participate in a minimum of 4 hours of PT activities each
week. Cadets on campus at LMU will have one on-campus PT sessions scheduled each week – you
are advised to e-mail Cadet Foudy ([email protected]) so you can stay up-to-date on with the
PT that occurs at LMU. All cadets who do not live on or very near (within 5 miles) of the LMU
campus are required to log personal PT time on their own during the week. With the exception of
LLAB1, cadets must attend mandatory PT every Friday following LLAB.
Cadets who are sick or injured are not expected to participate in PT activities. A cadet who is not
feeling well or who is in pain prior to or during a PT activity should communicate with the cadet
Physical Fitness Officer (PFO) or any member of the cadre. A cadet who is too sick or injured to
participate in PT will be required to visit a medical professional to be evaluated. Sick or injured
cadets are expected to bring documentation from their medical provider that:
Describes their illness or injury,
Describes any limitations to their participation in AFROTC training activities
Specifies the duration of those limitations.
To return to full participation in AFROTC training activities, a cadet must bring a second note from
a medical professional specifying that he or she is cleared to return to “full and unrestricted duty.”
13
Section 9: Uniform Wear
Wearing the uniform is a privilege and a responsibility, to receive your uniform at Detachment
040 you have to go through the Wingman Qualification process (see below).
But until you receive your uniform, you will need to wear:
A navy blue solid colored short-sleeve polo shirt
Khaki pants
Black belt
Solid black dress shoes.
The said clothing is known as our Business Casual or Civilian Equivalent attire.
You are required to maintain a professional and clean appearance when wearing the
aforementioned uniform. You are to ensure there are no visible threads that are loose, lint, and
any wrinkles on your uniform.
Wingman Qualification
As stated before, you need to complete the Wingman Qualification process prior to receiving your
uniform items. This process (see attachment 2) consists of several paperwork items that must be
completed by certain deadlines. This entire process is solely your responsibility and not that of
POC or Cadre. This document will be provided to you LLAB1 and you will be briefed on its
contents that same day during GMC time (post LLAB/PT). Upon completion of this process, you
will qualify to receive a uniform. Uniforms will be given to those cadets who have returned for a
second semester. Note that these uniform items are for you to borrow – not yours for keeping. You
are required to return them back should you drop the program/graduate. You are expected to
return them in good condition; if you destroy a uniform item you’ll have to pay for its replacement.
You will be properly briefed on uniforms and all its relevance this semester.

Section 10: Customs & Courtesies
Customs & courtesies are the basic rules and guidelines that dictate how you show respect to
those of higher rank and to the U.S. flag. You must always remember your customs & courtesies,
whether in uniform or not.

Sir/Ma’am, may I make a statement?
Sir/Ma’am, I do not know.
Sir/Ma’am, I do not understand.
No excuse, Sir/Ma’am.
B. Greeting
Cadets are to give the verbal greeting of the day (good morning/afternoon/evening) to members
of the POC and Cadre when passing by them or whenever contact is given during the business
hours. 0000-1159 is morning; 1200-1659 is afternoon; and 1700-2359 is evening – as soon as the
American flag comes down during a Retreat or Flag Ceremony, the time thereafter is considered
evening.

my actions, and dedicated to the principles, which made my country free. I will trust in my God
and in the United States of America.
H. The Airman’s Creed
I am an American airman. I am an American airman, guardian of freedom and justice, my nation’s
21
sword and shield,
I am a warrior. Its sentry and avenger.
I have answered my nation’s call. I defend my country with my life.
I am an American airman. I am an American airman:
My mission is to fly, fight and win. I am faithful to a proud heritage, a tradition of honor,
Wingman, leader, warrior.
And a legacy of Valor. I will never leave an airman behind. I will never falter,
And I will not fail.

The melody of this song can be found here: http://youtu.be/sHOq6Sl9u38
(Verse I)
Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder, At’em boys, giv’er the gun!
Down we dive spouting our flame from under; Off with one hell-uv-a-roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame; Nothing’ll stop the US Air Force!
(Verse II)
Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder, Sent it high into the blue;
Hands of men blasted the world asunder, How they lived God only knew!
Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer Gave us wings, ever to soar.
With Scouts before and bombers galore, Nothing can stop the US Air Force!
22
(Verse III)
Here’s a toast to the host
Of those who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we send a message of his brother men who fly. We drink to those who gave their all of old,
Then down we roar to score the rainbow’s pot of gold.
A toast to the host of men we boast, the US Air Force!
(Verse IV)
Off we go into the wild sky yonder,
Keep the wings level and true;
If you’d live to be a grey-haired wonder Keep the nose out of the blue!
Flying men, guarding the nation’s border, We’ll be there, followed by more!
In echelon we carry on.
Nothing’ll stop the US Air Force!

Section 12: Tips from the GMCA
Words from your Spring 2017 GMC Advisor:
Welcome New Air Force ROTC Cadets,
Welcome to Detachment 040! I am proud and honored to serve as your General Military Course Advisor (GMCA) for the Spring 2017 training semester. The fact that you are currently reading this message embedded in 22nd page of the Cadet Handbook shows your desire for success in AFROTC.
As GMCA, my job is to act as a liaison and bridge the gap between the GMC cadets and our POC leaders. To maximize the effectiveness of training, we will have a debrief known as “GMCA time” after the conclusion of each training day. During GMCA time, all the GMC will come together to discuss training to provide the POC valuable input to improve training. I hope to see you all at GMCA time after LLAB 1 to formally introduce myself.
If at any time during the training semester you have questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to ask myself or any of the returning 200 cadets – it is our job to help. With that said, I look forward to serving as your GMCA, and I look forward to seeing you all on LLAB 1!
– Cadet 3rd Class Hansel Suharli
Suggestions from the GMCA to all incoming 100s:
• As a 100, take this time to “be a 100” – get out of your comfort zone, take on leadership
roles, make mistakes, and learn from them. Making mistakes does not constitute failure.
The only true failures are failure to try and failure to learn. Come 200 year, you won’t
have as much leeway, so be sure to use this time to take chances and make the
necessary mistakes during your 100 year to grow as a cadet.
• Know why you signed up and why you choose to spend your entire Fridays training.
AFROTC is not merely a once-a-week extracurricular. At its very core, it is job training
for a demanding career in active duty Air Force. Understand that a once-a-week
mentality will rarely suffice, and prepare to dedicate time and effort outside of the
training day to be successful in the program.
24
• Seek advice from both GMC and POC alike. Although there may be a difference in rank,
know that all cadets – both POC and GMC – are here to help. In the end, we are all
striving for the same end goal.
25
Section 13: What to expect LLAB1 A. What time to arrive
Cadets should plan to park around 25-30 minutes before AS class to have enough time to find and
walk to the classroom. AS100 classes are offered at 0800 and 1000 (attend one or the other if you
are AS100, attend the 0900 class if you are AS250 so that you can attend AS200 admin hour at
0900 and AS200 class at 1000) and Admin Hour(s) for both AS100 and AS200 are at 0900,
required for all cadets.
B. What to bring
A pen
A water bottle
An ID (Driver’s license or School ID)
Lunch
Some granola bars
o There is a snack bar located in the Hog’s Pen – bring at least $5.
Any paperwork that needs to be turned into the Cadre
o Sports physical form
o Medial questionnaire
o Any legal paperwork (such as birth certificate, social security cards, proof of
citizenship, etc.) that was not brought to the NSO.
For LLAB 1 you will not need to bring any PT gear (which will be supplied if you have your
physical fitness form), but be sure to bring your PT gear for all other LLABs.
C. Lunch
There are a couple locations to choose from:
Subway (8406 Lincoln Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90045)
Roski Dining Hall – a “buffet-like” setting – is located on the first floor of UniversityHall on the opposite side of the Detachment
o Expect to spend up to $15 o Cash and Visa credit card is accepted
Lair Cafeteria – food court across alumni mall from St. Rob’s (Location of AS Class) o Cash and Visa accepted o Wide variety of food from Asian food, sandwiches, salads, sushi, etc.
Starbucks is located on the first floor near the Detachment
26
o Expect to spend up to $7 for most beverages o Cash and credit cards are accepted
Also, should cadets prefer to bring their own lunch, there is a refrigerator available for cadet use in
the Hog’s Pen – be sure to clearly label your lunch with C/(your name) and your flight
(Alpha/Bravo). There is a microwave located in the Cadre’s kitchen – please be mindful of the
food(s) you will be microwaving. Properly cover your foods in case they “explode” and to
thoroughly clean after yourself.
Moreover, GMC cadets usually eat together as one huge conglomerate at the Roski Dining Hall
together, but the Hog’s Pen is open for GMC cadets to partake of their lunch as well. Note: GMC
cadets who are eating their lunch in the Hog’s Pen do not need to assume the position of Attention
and greet Cadre or POC(s).
27
Section 14: Maneuvering around Loyola Marymount University
(LMU)
A. Parking
Upon passing the Loyola Marymount Security gate, enter the immediate garage opening to your
right, there should be a sign stating this as the P2 parking before the entrance. Upon entering the
garage, finding parking is at your discretion but parking close to the central elevators is easiest.
Once you have parked, make your way to the parking meter; be sure to note your license plate
number. The parking meter is located at the central elevators in the 2nd and 3rd parking levels.
All day parking pass is $10 (paid via Visa, MasterCard, and Discover credit card only). Follow the
onscreen directions to complete parking payment. Free Parking is also available around the
surrounding neighborhoods of LMU. If using this method be sure to arrive early, the walk
depending on where you park takes about 5-15 minutes.
B. Getting to the Detachment
To get to the Detachment from the garage, go up the elevator to the Ground Floor (G) and out the
doors into the University Hall. Head left towards the escalators and up to the 3rd floor. Near the
escalators to the fourth floor you should see the Detachment Office.
