The program has the concurrence of the Army, Air Force and Navy ROTC Commanding Officers and the approval of the Foundation’s Board of Directors. The inaugural 2007 Experience Tours were a great success. As a result of this success, the 2008 program was doubled to support 12 Experience Tours.

Description Future Hero Experience Tours are offered to ROTC cadets and midshipmen between their junior and senior years of college. These one-week tours are scheduled during summer break.
Course of Action Future Hero Tour awardees will be assigned in pairs to major military commands where they will shadow senior military leaders. Students will attend high-level meetings, planning sessions, and all other activities involving the leaders’ day-to-day routines of the sponsoring organizations.
Goal Those selected for this highly competitive program earn the unique opportunity to witness pivotal leaders in action. Over the course of a week, students are immersed in the daily challenges, deliberations and decision-making situations that confront senior military leaders. In turn, participants will gain first-hand insight into what it takes to apply professional military education to real-world situations.
Partnership The AFCEA Educational Foundation will identify placement opportunities and oversee the administration of the Experience Tours with individual ROTC units. Future Heroes will cover the expenses for Tours to include: travel to and from the commands/corporations, housing, meals, local transportation, etc.
