Kevin M. Sweet has completed a U.S. Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) field training encampment at at Maxwell Air Force Base, Gunter Annex, Montgomery, Ala. The four-or six-week summer training camp is designed to motivate, educate, and evaluate the cadets' leadership potential to be Air Force officers, and to determine their potential for entry into the ROTC Professional Officer Course (POC). Normally, cadets between their sophomore and junior year of college attend the encampment. The training gives students their first exposure to a working Air Force environment and an opportunity to learn and apply officer leadership theory, techniques, and responsibilities. Upon graduating from the attending college or university and successfully completing the ROTC program requirements, the cadet is commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Air Force. He is the son of George M. and Suzanne M. Sweet of Fayetteville, Ga. and a 2004 graduate of Fayette County High School, Fayetteville.
