FACT SHEET
ROTC
(1ST YEAR)
Purpose: To provide you with current, factual information about Air Force Junior ROTC.
Curriculum: We have a 4-year program, meaning a student can take JROTC all four years of
High School, and receive a number of elective credits toward graduation. Since we are currently
on a 4x4 block schedule, cadets meet each day in JROTC for both semesters, and receive two
credits of elective per year. One credit may be substituted for Physical Education (all students
are required to have either a credit of PT or ROTC to graduate). First year cadets begin with the
Leadership I text, and when completed, study the Aerospace Science I text. Leadership texts
include many practical subjects, such Common Courtesies and Etiquette, drug abuse, effective
study habits, etc. The Aerospace I text is a general history of air power. Cadets will do a
research project/presentation on an aviation figure the second semester. In addition to the texts,
cadets learn basic military drill, and have physical fitness training.
Marching: Cadets learn basic Air Force drill. More time is spent during the first year than in
subsequent years, since the first year is learning new material, and subsequent years is
maintaining proficiency.
Military Service: There is absolutely no commitment for any military service for taking JROTC
at the High School level. Our mission is to: Develop citizens of character dedicated to serving
their nation and community. Cadets do learn much about the military, and if they continue in
JROTC they will be exposed to recruiters but, everyone makes their own decisions about their
futures.
Uniforms: Uniforms are issued to cadets and must be worn properly, all day, about once per
week. We normally have uniform day on Wednesday and it is graded. Those not wearing the
uniform receive a grade of zero for any assigned days missed. If absent on the assigned wear
day, they are to wear the uniform the first day they return. There are two uniform grades that
cannot be made up. They are for the unit inspection and the pass in review. If the cadets miss
them, they will lose 200 points each. The uniform is an Air Force uniform, with only the patches,
insignias, and ranks being different. We are required to meet the same standards as active duty
personnel when in uniform. Uniforms are returned at the end of the year; cadets keep the shoes,
socks, any ribbons earned, and the nametag (which they have bought). Uniform will be cleaned
and pressed with a dry cleaning receipt attached when turned in. The cadet will be
charged a replacement cost for lost or damaged uniform items which must be paid before
the start of the next school year or before the release of any transcripts.
Costs: We will always keep costs to the absolute minimum. Unfortunately we cannot conduct
the course without charging some of the costs. JROTC fee is $25.00. That money is used to
offset cost associated with maintaining the uniform. Cadets are issued clean uniform items and a
nametag. Uniforms will be returned cleaned and serviceable when cadet is no longer enrolled in
AFJROTC. Naturally, anything lost or damaged beyond further use must be paid for. Also,
cadets may be required to purchase their own lunch on field trips.
Self-Discipline: Success in AFJROTC depends upon your commitment to self-discipline. It is
something we teach, something you work to improve upon, and something that will make you a
better citizen, student, adult, future parent, and person. This course will build upon the selfdiscipline and maturity you already have, and help you grow.
Expectations: A number of things are expected of cadets, some of which are a little more
demanding than what is required of other High School students. Are you willing to try to meet
these expectations?
Academics - Pay attention in class, complete all assignments, and try to make
good grades in all classes
Conduct - Follow all school and all JROTC rules, show respect for all teachers,
guests, and fellow students; to show courtesies to the flag, pledge, and anthem
Uniform - Properly wear the uniform each day it is scheduled
Appearance - Maintain high standards of dress and appearance, be well groomed,
and practice good hygiene
Attitude - Maintain a positive attitude, learning to become a good follower as
well as leader
Fitness - Stay in reasonably good physical condition, and try to stay within the
desired weight limitations
Character - Strive to maintain good moral character
Benefits: There are many benefits to taking AFJROTC. A few are listed below:
Field Trips - Field trips are conducted each year. They vary some, but first year
cadets usually visit Charleston AFB, tour various facilities, tour an aircraft, and
eat in the dining facility. Other trips include an overnight trip for 2/3 year cadets,
overnight Survival trip, and a 3-day senior trip.
Picnic - We have an annual picnic each spring. This is a fun event and includes
food and competitive games between flights (classes).
Formal Ball - We have an annual ball each year. This is a fun event that is one of
the years highlights. There is much food, dancing, and more.
Community Service - We always provide some types of community service each
year. Examples are Food Bank, Walk-A-Thons, school improvement projects,
Thanksgiving/Christmas food baskets, and others.
Kitty Hawk Air Society - This is our own Honor Society. If you make an A in
ROTC and have a B average in all other courses, you may be invited to join.
Rocket Club - This club builds and launches model rockets.
Awards - A number of National Awards are made available each year to the top
cadets. These are usually presented in conjunction with a military parade (called
a Pass-In-Review) near the end of the year.
Other Notes: You probably have many questions, and are perhaps a little apprehensive
about taking this course. Here are a few tips:
You do not have to be an athlete, just able to do basic exercises, job, drill, and be
in reasonable condition. If you are in good condition, you can qualify for the
physical fitness ribbon. But, you dont have to qualify, just try (attitude again).
Do not take JROTC just to get out of PE. JROTC is much more demanding
academically, and probably more demanding physically (we have drill plus
physical fitness training).
It is required that you wear a uniform, which means we have to be able to get one
that will fit. If you are excessively large or heavy, check with us about the sizes.
We feel strongly that you cannot be a good citizen (and have no business voting)
if you do not know whats going on in the world around you. We do current
events every week, which establishes good public speaking skills, and provides a
general knowledge of the world around us.

FUNDRAISING CONTRACT
1. Several times a year cadets are asked to support the program by participating in
unit fundraising activities. These fundraisers provide additional support to the
JROTC program not given by the Air Force or the School District. This additional
support provides great opportunities for cadets to plan, organize, and attend a
Military Ball. It also provides additional funding for cadets who are selected to
attend the Cadet Leadership Course (CLC), an encampment held every year during
the summer at the Citadel. This encampment is designed to foster leadership
greatness unequaled by any other leadership program.
2. If you choose to participate in the unit fundraising opportunities you will be
responsible for maintaining (i.e. keep it out of the sun or hot car), securing, selling,
and returning the fundraising money. If you participate in the fundraisers and fail to
return the money by the required date assigned for that fundraiser an owe slip will
be placed in your records and you will not be able to transfer/graduate until all
indebtedness is settled.
3. Your AFJROTC grade will not be affected if you choose not to participate
in the fundraisers. However, your grade can be affected if you chose to
participate in the fundraiser and the money is not returned on time. You will accrue
one demerit for every dollar not returned on time and in most cases your grade will
drop. In addition, a cadet can accrue one merit for every dollar returned on time,
which in most cases a cadets grade will increase.
4. We believe this opportunity not only teaches cadet a little responsibility but, it also
gives a cadet a chance to give back to their unit and instill a sense of ownership in
the program.
I Cadet (last name) ___________________have read the fundraising contract and I do/do
not (circle one) wish to participate in the unit fundraisers.

not wear earrings or grills. Females will not wear nose rings or grills. Cadets will not
