Mackenzie Sigler knew she was interested in joining the Air Force from a young age. It began with a visit to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.听

鈥淚 saw everyone all dressed up in their uniforms,鈥� Sigler said. 鈥淚 was like, wow, that's kind of cool.鈥�

Now a first-year student at 欧美口爆视频 Boulder,听Sigler attends weekly meetings as part of her training with Air Force ROTC. Her schedule includes physical training sessions at least twice a week, a job within ROTC, an aerospace studies course and a leadership laboratory鈥攐n top of a full course load.

欧美口爆视频 Boulder鈥檚 AFROTC is听part of Detachment 105, the largest detachment in the Northwest region. Aspiring cadets can expect a world of opportunities including leadership development, scholarship options, a rewarding future and more.听

Aim high

Sigler dreams of being a pilot one day鈥攕he even flew a plane in past training鈥攂ut before getting her dream job, there are many hoops to jump through. Becoming an Air Force pilot requires getting pilot hours before applying, taking the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test and听passing physical tests.听

Sigler is a rockstar, to say the least.听

Once she reaches junior year, she鈥檒l听be asked听what kind of profession she wants to pursue in the Air Force. While pilot is at the top of her list, she would also be content with getting a job in aircraft maintenance or being assigned a position as a developmental engineer.听

Day in the life

鈥淪ometimes with engineering, my schedule gets a little hectic,鈥� Sigler said. 鈥淚 usually have three to four classes on any given day.鈥�

Even with a busy schedule, she听always keeps her eye on the prize. On some days of the week, she wakes up before 6 a.m. and heads to a physical training session, which either takes place at the Rec or outside, weather permitting.听

鈥淚 can't miss it. I'm just disciplined in that way, like, I know how important it is that I'm showing up and working on myself to become a future leader in the Air Force,鈥� Sigler said. 鈥淗aving a sense of purpose and a goal in mind, I think, is really helpful for waking up.鈥�

AFROTC offers a multitude of scholarship opportunities and clubs for those interested in piloting. Amongst these clubs is Success Enabled Pilots, a program in which cadets can explore their interests in aviation.听

Another benefit of joining AFROTC is the built-in resources within the program and the value of forming relationships with flightmates.听

鈥淲e're all in ROTC, so we're all in it together,鈥� Sigler said. 鈥淲e have those same values, the same life view and the same goal. It鈥檚 really easy to bond with those around you.鈥�

A helping hand听

Sigler has a mentor who听helps her work her way through AFROTC, and who she describes听as a 鈥渞eally good resource and friend.鈥澨�

Sigler鈥檚 mentor also heads the AFROTC Cadet Wing Information Operations,听where Sigler works. In this position, she reaches out to cadets and news outlets to spread awareness about the program.听

After graduation, Sigler will join the Air Force and begin commissioning.听听

鈥淭here's just a whole bunch of opportunities within the Air Force and ROTC that I think are really valuable and worth the trouble of going through,鈥� Sigler said. 鈥淚t's really rewarding.鈥�
