Student Resources
There are varied activities in which the student can participate such as basketball, weight training, and volleyball. Participants are required to provide their own footwear. In addition to the activities listed, each dormitory has various small games, pool tables, table tennis, and television for the relaxation of the students.
In addition, there is a monthly calendar listing opportunities to take part in various activities away from campus. Some of these activities include tours such as Kayaking at Nature Adventures, Pirate and Ghost tours and Bulldog tours, one of which includes a tour of the USS Yorktown at Patriot’s Point. Some other activities may include chartered fishing by Fin & Tonic, or day trips to Myrtle Beach, SC and Savannah, GA.

For civilians and military personnel living and working on a military base, beginning and concluding their day with morning and evening colors has always been the norm. It is part of a daily, time-honored military tradition deeply steeped in history. FLETC has a military component in residence, and colors is observed each day at 8 a.m. by hoisting the American Flag smartly up a flagpole, accompanied by the national anthem. Evening colors is accompanied by the playing of Retreat while flag is lowered gently at sunset. Civilian personnel while outdoors should stop and face the flag, or if not visible, face toward the direction of the music being played. Vehicles within sight or hearing of the ceremony are also required to stop and pull safely on the side of the road until the carry-on signal is given.
Students are urged not to leave valuables in the dormitory room. Dormitory rooms are equipped with locked cabinets. The safeguard of personal valuables lies with the individual student. Please be careful. Personal weapons will not be stored by the Firearms Division. Students should not bring personal weapons with them.
FLETC policy prohibits taking identifiable facial photos of students or staff without prior permission of the individuals involved. In addition, it is against the law for certain agency personnel to be photographed under any circumstances. (This policy stems from a need to protect criminal investigators who may perform undercover work.)
Although this policy does not preclude “fond memory” type photographs or photography necessary as a part of a course of instruction, students and their visitors are required to adhere to this policy and remain sensitive to its purpose and intent.
Please report all suspicious circumstances involving photographic film images being taken to the FLETC Charleston Security and Emergency Management Specialist at 843-566-8554 or the Security Dispatcher at 843-974-6303.
Types of incidents include, but are not limited to:
