In Control ROTC has been a part of Tech since 1966. The Corps consists of cadets who play an important part in making ROTC what it is. Chief Master Sargeant Henry Palmer and Colonel William Potter are the guiding force behind ROTC. The group has made annual trips to Truro Air Force Base at Cape Cod, where senior cadets go for officer orientation; to Bradley Field Air Museum to introduce freshmen cadets to different aircrafts; and to Fed- eral Aviation Authority where junior cadets learn about air- craft regulations. The biggest annual trip is to McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey, where cadets spend an exciting week experienceing Air Force life. The last annual trip is to New London Coast Guard Academy, where incoming sen- iors see what an Academy in- stallation is like. R.O.T.C.

Each year that they are chosen as an honor unit, ROTC is able to appoint three cadets to each academy in a special unit witha four year fully paid scholar- ship. The ROTC member learns pride and how to be a good Air Force Cadet. The cadets are re- quired to wear the ROTC uni- forms once a week at which time they are inspected and graded. Cadets are able to earn ribbons and rank by joining various activities within the corps as well as performing well on his assigned jobs.
