The General Military Course (GMC) is the first half of the four-year program, and students generally take these courses during their freshman and sophomore year at Troy University. This program allows students to "try out" AFROTC for up to two years without incurring any military obligation.
General Military Course
The last two years of AFROTC are called the Professional Officer Course (POC) and are required for all students qualified and wishing to seek commission. All POC cadets are contracted with the Air Force and are obligated to serve active duty following graduation and commissioning.
Professional Officer Course
Leadership Lab is a cadet-run program taken each semester of cadet participation in AFROTC. Upper class cadets plan, manage, and execute LLAB activities each week. LLAB is a two-hour course cadet's register for each semester. It requires successful completion in order to move forward in the AFROTC program.
