Course Description

Public Affairs C-School is basic training in how to tell the Auxiliary story. Students learn essentials of news writing, copy editing and digital photography. A key focus is on how to prepare and distribute a press release, manage media relations, respond to media interviews, and submit copy to local through national media.


Enrollment is limited to DSO, SO and FSO-PA and PB. Elected officers are welcome and encouraged to attend. Every Auxiliary public affairs officer is expected to enroll and thus develop the high level of skill necessary to perform their duties. Selected students are sent on Reimbursable Orders for this three-day Public Affairs “boot camp.”
