The purpose of the first two years of military science classes was to build citizenship and introduce military training and the ROTC program. In the third and fourth years, the classes created officers. Army ROTC cadets participated in various activities. These ranged from field exercises which increased military knowledge and gave the cadets practice in actually performing tactics they studied in the classroom, to events such as hosting a drill meet for high school drill teams from around the state. Air Force ROTC activities included a POW MIA run and a pass and review parade. Air Force cadets traveled to the University of Central Florida to participate in the Limecut competition, a day of athletic games and competition between all the Air Force ROTC programs in the state. Navy ROTC members filled their time by participating in numerous service projects. Cadets acted as waiters, ushers and served as security guards at Gator Growl and weekly football games.
