A Message From the Commander

Welcome to the 207th Air Force ROTC Detachment at St. Louis University, St. Louis, MO. As an Air Force ROTC Cadet at Saint Louis University, Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville or any of the other accredited Saint Louis area universities found linked on our website, you will be embarking on the journey of a lifetime.

Air Force ROTC offers a myriad of opportunities whether you are a beginning freshman or have already

completed your first year of college. Our staff of Air Force officers and NCOs are dedicated to helping you succeed in order to supply the Air Force with the best and brightest young men and women dedicated to serving the nation.
The Air Force offers students a host of exciting and challenging career opportunities upon graduation. To reach this goal, we are looking for solid performers willing to master the balance between academics, physical fitness, participation with the cadet corps and community service. A career of service in the U.S. Air Force is a noble cause; a call to duty that only a few will have the honor to answer. We want responsible citizens to answer this call as their selfless service will benefit countless others on their behalf. Detachment 207 is a challenge which will require your hard work, dedication and commitment to excellence.
Air Force ROTC is the best way for future leaders of our country to learn and live our Air Force’s core values: Integrity first, Service before self, and Excellence in all we do. Again, welcome to “The Gateway Detachment,” your doorway and first stop on becoming a future leader of tomorrow's Air Force!

Michael R. Hargis, Lt. Col, USAF
