First- and second- year cadets are considered part of the General Military Course (GMC). GMC cadets are focused on learning how the Air Force and Space Force operates, customs and courtesies, uniform wear, and drill and ceremonies. Cadets who have completed Field Training (i.e. third-, fourth-, and fifth-year cadets) are what are known as the Professional Officer Course (POC). POC focus on honing their leadership skills, learning how the Department of the Air Force contributes to national security, and preparation for active duty. POC cadets run the entire cadet wing and all training during Leadership Laboratory.
