Getting Involved with Det 820

There are many ways to get involved with AFROTC. Even if you are a civilian, we have organizations you can join to directly support us.

Arnold Air Society

The Arnold Air Society is a professional, honorary service organization advocating the support of aerospace power. The "service" aspect is perhaps the foremost in the mind of many members, because of the society's continuing contributions to our campuses, our communities, and our corps. But it should always be remembered that our primary mission is to improve ourselves as future Air Force officers.
