character development Character development is the process that builds and reinforces the traits which form a cadet candidate’s commitment to personal excellence and produces quality officers to lead the Air Force. Implementation of this program is through a yearlong comprehensive process which focuses on the Honor Code, human relations, and spiritual development. All cadet candidates must accept the Honor Code when entering the Preparatory School and agree to live by principles of character that extend beyond the Honor Code. Character development training starts during Basic Military Training (BMT) and continues throughout the entire year. Cadet candidates also have the opportunity to participate in community service projects, honor and ethics symposiums, and distinguished visitor testimonials as part of the continuous character development process. military training Military training at the Prep School is centered on the Air Force Core Values: Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence In All We Do. Military training is a part of a cadet candidate’s everyday life. Upon arrival at the Prep School, cadet candidates enter a twenty-one day indoctrination into the military called Basic Military Training (BMT). BMT is designed to orient cadet candidates to the military lifestyle and provide them with information on the organization of the Air Force, military customs and courtesies, drill and ceremonies, military history, Core Values, the Honor Code, and proper wear of the uniform. Cadet candidates are briefed in detail on the standards of conduct and appearance they will be expected to maintain while at the Prep School. To ensure they uphold these standards, candidates undergo regular inspections of their uniforms and personal appearance as well as their rooms and the overall dormitory. The Department of Military Training is headed by the Commander, 1st Preparatory Group. Working directly with each squadron is a major known as the Air Officer Commanding (AOC) and a senior non-commissioned officer who is the Academy Military Training Noncommissioned Officer (AMT). The role of the AOC and AMT is varied—trainer, disciplinarian, counselor, advisor, and often mentor and confidante to the cadet candidates. Each year is concluded with a three-day exercise called the Teamwork Exercise, or TX. It is designed to be a physical and mental review of all the cadet candidates have learned for the year and to prepare them for basic training at the Academy. athletics The Prep School Athletic Department’s mission is to prepare cadet candidates for the rigors of athletic competition and the physical conditioning required of all Academy cadets. Additionally, the Prep School athletic program provides cadet candidates a realistic leadership experience in a mentally and physically challenging environment. This prepares and motivates cadet candidates for a lifetime of service through physical education, fitness training and testing, intramural and intercollegiate athletic competition. The Prep School athletic program includes four main areas—physical conditioning, intercollegiate sports, club sports, and intramural sports. Each cadet candidate will be involved in one of these areas at all times during the school year. Physical conditioning and intramural sports start during BMT and continue until graduation. Prep School intercollegiate athletic teams compete against top-rated NJCAA and NCAA junior varsity teams and other service academy Prep School teams. Our intercollegiate athletic teams include football, men’s and women’s basketball, and women’s volleyball. The Prep School club sports program consists of men’s and women’s soccer, wrestling and cheerleading. The men’s and women’s soccer teams compete against club teams from NCAA schools and against top-rated NJCAA schools. The wrestling team competes against NCAA Junior Varsity teams, and cheerleading supports all athletic teams. The Prep School intramural program usually consists of flag football, ultimate Frisbee and flicker ball. The coaching staff at the Prep School is dedicated to ensuring an effective transition for our cadet candidates to the highly competitive athletic environment at the Academy. admission to the preparatory school Admission is limited to enlisted members of the Air Force Regular and Reserve components and to selected civilian students. Civilian students applying for, but not receiving an appointment to the Air Force Academy need not reapply to the Preparatory School; they will automatically be considered for a Prep School appointment. Only Air Force enlisted members may apply directly to the Prep School via Air Force Form 1786, submitted through the unit commander and Military Personnel Flight. Consult Air Force Instruction 36-2021 for details. Enlisted members from the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps are not eligible for a nomination in the airman category, but are considered as civilians. Civilian selectees are placed on active duty as Air Force Reserve airmen while attending the Prep School. Successful completion of the Prep School improves chances for appointment as an Air Force Academy cadet, but appointment is not guaranteed. If not selected for an Academy appointment, Regular Air Force airmen are made available for assignment to other duties. Reserve 48 United States Air Force Academy Catalog
