COLLEGE EXPERIENCE. OFFICER POTENTIAL.
Meet Detachment 006
We are the Air Force ROTC unit hosted at Jackson State University, serving JSU and five partner colleges. Our instructors and cadets combine academics, leadership training, and physical fitness in a supportive team environment.
Build skills for college—and beyond
During college: Find mentorship, practice leadership, build confidence, and explore competitive scholarship opportunities.
After graduation: Cadets who complete all requirements can commission as officers, lead people, and serve in a range of career fields.
One detachment. Six colleges.
Attend JSU, Belhaven University, Hinds Community College, Millsaps College, Mississippi Christian University, or Tougaloo College? You can participate through Det 006.
Your first step is a conversation.
Our interest form is for future applicants, students still deciding, and anyone seeking more information. Submitting it does not commit you to joining.
College admission and AFROTC enrollment are separate. We will help you understand the next steps for the detachment.
People who will help you get there
Meet the instructors and staff who guide and support Det 006 cadets.
