We are proud to share that Mykayla Tapia, a 2022 graduate of Clemens High School and a four‑year AFJROTC cadet, has been selected for Air Force ROTC Field Training, the program’s version of basic training later this summer.
Tapia served as Corps Commander during her senior year at Clemens and is now an AFROTC cadet at Angelo State University, where she is majoring in Psychology.
Field Training is a competitive, 2–3 week program held at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama. It tests a cadet’s leadership skills, discipline, and physical fitness under demanding conditions.
Successfully completing Field Training is required to remain in the AFROTC program and move forward toward earning a commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force or Space Force.
