The Privacy Act of 1974, Title 5 U.S.C. § 552a, establishes a code of fair information practice that governs the collection, maintenance, use, and dissemination of personally identifiable information about individuals that is maintained in systems of records by federal agencies. A system of records is a group of records under the control of an agency from which information is retrieved by the name of the individual or by some identifier assigned to the individual. The Privacy Act prohibits the disclosure of information from a system of records absent the written consent of the subject individual, unless the disclosure is pursuant to one of twelve statutory exceptions. The Act also provides individuals with a means by which to seek access to and amendment of their records (Freedom of Information Act), and sets forth various agency record-keeping requirements.

During the summer after your sophomore year you will participate in Field Training. This rigorous program involves activities such as physical conditioning, weapons training and survival training. Field Training is your opportunity to develop your skills as both a leader and team member. Field Training is a requirement for all cadets who seek membership in the Professional Officer Course and continuance in the AFROTC program.
Careers
There are a wide variety of career opportunities available. Only 4% of those in the Air Force are pilots which leaves numerous other technical, non-technical, scientific, specialty and healthcare careers available - all of them fulfilling and all of them providing you with important leadership experience. Visit the Careers link and explore the many opportunities available.
Pay & Benefits
As an Air Force Officer you will earn pay very comparable to the civilian sector as well as several other benefits such as educational opportunities, healthcare, housing, travel and use of military facilities just to name a few. I encourage you to take a look at the pay and benefits link or talk to an Air Force officer and ask them what they like about being in the Air Force.
