What is CSO?
Cadet Summer
Orientation, better known by its acronym "CSO", is an incoming
freshman student's first Air Force ROTC experience. Sophomores also
attend the event. CSO is a four day long event in which cadets are taught
basic Air Force skills. Lessons include drill (marching procedures),
Air Force rank structure, the honor code, and other fun and exciting
leadership exercises. Though the events may change from year to
year, the basic instruction remains the same. Though attending CSO
is not a requirement to be in the AFROTC program, it is highly recommended
(and it's a lot of fun!).
