UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA


 MILITARY DEPARTMENTS

 The University of Florida offers instruction in the Military Sciences as an integral
part of its curricula. The Department of the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps
(ROTC) provides instruction in Infantry, Artillery, and Transportation Corps. The
Department of the Air Force ROTC offers several options in training to include Ad-
ministration and Logistics, Air Installations, Flight Operations and General Technical.
Staff of Army and Air Force officers and detachments of enlisted personnel provide for
the administration and instruction of cadets and for the maintenance of equipment re-
quired for the courses.
 BASIC COURSE
 The Army and The Air Force Basic Courses include four semesters (2 school
years) of instruction. The University requires that all physically fit male students, ex-
cept certain veterans and transfer students, complete the Basic Course as a prerequisite
to graduation. The completion of either The Army or The Air Force Basic Course
discharges this obligation. Students entering military instruction are assigned to The
Army or to The Air Force ROTC's in conformity to the needs of the Armed Forces
and to assigned enrollment quotas.
 Students are issued uniforms and text books by the University and are held
financially responsible for the care of such property and for its prompt return upon
proper call.
 ADVANCED COURSE
 The Army and The Air Force Advanced Courses include four semesters (2 school
years) of instruction at the University and a six-weeks summer camp at a military
installation which normally is attended by the student at the end of his first year of
advanced course work. Each advanced course student is enrolled in some one of the
specialized courses; namely, the Infantry, Field Artillery, or Transportation Corps of
The Army or one of the above listed training options of The Air Force. Each student
applicant for the Advanced Course must have completed the Basic Course or have
had previous military training acceptable as a substitute therefore. Students may apply
for the Service (Army or Air Force) in which he was enrolled during the four se-
mesters of the Basic Course. Final selection of students from the list of applicants is
made by the President of the University and the Professor of Military Science and
Tactics or the Professor of Air Science and Tactics.
 Students are issued regulation officer-type uniforms and text books. They are
financially responsible for the care of such property and for its return upon proper
call. Each student receives from the United States Government a daily monetary
subsistence allowance, presently totaling about $27.00 per month. This allowance is
paid monthly in the Army ROTC and quarterly in the Air Force ROTC during the
period of enrollment in the Advanced Course for not more than a total of 595 days.
Students are paid for travel to and from the six-weeks summer camp; while at camp
they are provided quarters, rations, and uniforms and are paid at the rate of $75.00
per month.
 Upon his successful completion of the Advanced Course, each Army ROTC stu-
dent is appointed a Second Lieutenant in the Organized Reserve Corps of The Army.
