Military Training
The military training program of students is under the supervision of the Icarus Squadron (Σμηναρχία Ικάρων).
It begins with the constant informing of students on military matters because they have complete lack of military experience in their first year and it concludes when the students become military officers.
In general, the military training program has the goal of promoting discipline, self-esteam and increased confidence to the student's skills as a future fighter pilot and military officer. In the last two years of training, the program gives emphasis in teaching responsibility and skills of being a leader and it also focuses to the individual virtues of each student. It also provides practical information on the structure and operation of the Hellenic Air Force.
