Azmedstudent-
I just got back from COT last Thursday. I had a really good time. It is definitely a lot of hard work, but it was a great experience and I'm glad I went. Most days have a mixture between entire class lectures and smaller group lectures in the flight rooms. You'll learn about military history, leadership studies, profession of arms (how to salute, wear the uniform, etc.), and communication skills. We start every morning at 5:15 for physical conditioning and class is usually over around 5 or 6 in the afternoon. About halfway through we went to the leadership reaction course, which is a series of challenges that test leadership skills. Each event has a different leader, and that leader is graded on how well he or she leads the group through the event. It was a lot of fun. We got weekends off which was a great opportunity to catch up on some sleep. The last week and part of the last weekend we did an Aerospace Expeditionary Force exercise where we camped out in tents and were given assignments in a field hospital. It was a great experience. I didn't know what to expect before COT, but it was a lot of fun and a very valuable experience. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions.
