Arnold Air Society

 The Arnold Air Society (AAS) is a professional, honorary, service organization advocating the support of aerospace power. AAS is open to officer candidates in Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) and at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), and is formally affiliated with the Air Force Association (AFA). In addition to AFROTC or Academy commitments, AAS members must complete candidate training, attend meetings, and contribute to their respective Squadrons and ROTC detachments. Doing so enhances the officer candidate experience of cadets as well as builds stronger leadership, organizational, and professional skills.


Color Guard

The Detachment 790 Color Guard proudly displays the nation’s colors, carrying the U.S. flag and the Air Force flag. One team is usually composed of four cadets, and anyone can participate. The color guard has had the privilege of performing at numerous events in the past, including the John Merritt Classic football game, many other collegiate sporting events, and a wide variety of cadet wing and collegiate functions.
