Future Cadets

Hello, prospective Bronx Bomber! Interested in learning about Air Force ROTC? Air Force ROTC Detachment 560 at Manhattan University invites prospective cadets to attend a virtual information session over Microsoft Teams and learn more about the program, curriculum, leadership training and opportunities available through AFROTC.

Attending an information session does not commit you to joining AFROTC or the United States Air Force. It is simply an opportunity to ask questions, explore your options and learn more about the curriculum, benefits and opportunities we offer.
