After the first week, its pretty basic.

You wake up, have formation, come back and clean the barracks, go eat breakfast.

Then go to class, go to another class, eat lunch, go to class, go to another class. Then do PT.

Come back and shower, then eat dinner.

Some days you will go to different units on the base and do paperwork, select your afsc, start the security clearance paperwork, etc.

Some days you will go to the obstacle course or fireing range.

Lots of practice marching

You are usually done for the day around 5 to 6 pm.

Things that help:

Volunteer for Fire Guard from the 4 am to 6 am time.

That way, you can get your area squared away, while everyone is asleep. And you don't have to worry about running around like a chicken without a head in the morning.

Volunteer for CQ runner, especially on weekends, I did and got to watch football on ther CQ TV, and even had thr CQ buy me mcdonalds once to eat.

After your there for a month, volunteer for fire watch for the new flights during their first week there.

There is nothing like being told by a TI, to trash the newbies barracks, while they are eating, by taking the beds apart and throwing all the bedding and mattress's into huge piles.

Basic can be alot of fun, you just have to get past that first week.

Bring with you only items they told you to bring. If they gave you no additional instructions, dress neatly and report by the time you were told to report.
You can begin by calling him "sir", and if he wants you to call him something else he will tell you. Just because he may be younger than you is no matter. He is the instructor and deserves your respect.
You need to get used to wearing your underwear or being naked around other men. So don't ask to bring your gym clothes. If instructed to remove your pants, just do as you are told.
You are attending this boot camp to obtain a position at a cadet camp. Your instructors are preparing you so that you will be a good man. Make up your mind to do everything you are instructed to do in exactly the way you are told, without question. You need to be as good a follower as you can be so that you can become a good leader.

First of all, if you are going to a junior college and plan to join AFROTC all your credits may not transfer over. So while academically you may be a junior, by your major you may be considered a sophmore or even a freshman. The first two years of ROTC are pretty much getting to know the military. It's basically "boot camp" spread over two years without the pain and agony of the real thing. You must be in the last two years in order to be commissioned.

Your physical fitness should be at it's peak performance. For Army ROTC standards you must be able to run a two mile distance in under 16:36, you must be able to do 45 pushups in two minutes, and 55 situps in two minutes with ten minute breaks in between starting with PU, then SU, then run. This can really help you for scholarships, commissioning, and leadership ability by maxing these standards at 13:00 2 mile, 75 PU, and 88 SU.

Scholarships are based on boards. You go to a board and they ask you a series of questions about leadership and your committment to the armed forces. They also base your scholarship on whether you have Athletic, Academic, or just Leadership experience. I believe boards are once a semester.

A schedule usually consists of PT at 7-8AM M/W/F. You go to a lab for 2-3 hours a week and once a semester you go to the field for training for a couple of days. Also, some charity work is usually done on weekends sparatically through the semester.

As for advice, talk to your ROTC recruiter and your registration and records office to see where you stand academically. If you are nervous about being behind the rope see if AFROTC has something called SMP, it's simultaneous members program. What you do is join the National Guard (Air for you) and one weekend a month you shadow underneath an office during their national guard weekends. I believe if you go through the basic training portion for the national guard you are not obligated to complete the first two years of ROTC.

I would do Tumbling and Contemporary. Why are you listening to Leana anyway? She hasn't been an example of success.
