The Air Force hopes that exposing cadets to more diverse enlisted fields will offer more insight into that side of the force, get them to consider a broader range of career options and strengthen officer-enlisted relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cExpanding the applicant base will provide cadets with firsthand observation of what the enlisted force is capable of and their vital role,\u201d said Chief Master Sgt. Nichole Dunton, the senior enlisted leader at Air Force ROTC headquarters, in a news release Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/airforcetimes\/news\/your-air-force\/2021\/05\/10\/air-force-rotc-reinstates-hundreds-of-cadets-after-backlash-over-cuts\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/6276168.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Air Force ROTC reinstates hundreds of cadets after backlash over cuts<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Air Force has reinstated more than 400 ROTC cadets after an outcry over the decision to drop almost half of all second-year cadets &#8212; nearly 1,000 students.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enlisted airmen chosen for the special duty job will be assigned to any of the Air Force\u2019s 145 ROTC detachments around the United States and in Puerto Rico for three-year stints starting in fall 2022. More than 1,100 colleges and universities host ROTC programs and band together with others nearby to create detachments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service said in March it had about 275 enlisted ROTC staffers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staff sergeants and technical sergeants could already teach and mentor prospective officers at the U.S. Air Force Academy and Officer Training School, but not at ROTC. That began to change with a pilot program last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eight enlisted airmen with the academy\u2019s leadership training program headed out to college campuses to shape the new ROTC instructor job, known as specialty code 8B300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those chosen as training instructors will advise the detachment commander on cadet academics, professional development, military training and discipline, and handle office tasks like commissioning paperwork. They\u2019ll also look out for the students\u2019 health and welfare as they get to know cadets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instructors guide cadets through two years of classwork on military life and leadership, plus physical training, before moving on to summertime field training and another two years of further education in leadership, communication skills and defense policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/airforcetimes\/news\/your-air-force\/2020\/08\/11\/air-force-adds-100-rotc-scholarships-for-students-at-black-colleges-in-diversity-push\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Tuskegee-ROTC-2.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Air Force adds 100 ROTC scholarships for students at Black colleges in diversity push<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Air Force is also adding more Gold Bar recruiters to colleges and universities that primarily serve Black and Hispanic students, to recruit students into Air Force ROTC.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI feel like I have been given the opportunity to sharpen the tip of the spear,\u201d said Master Sgt.
