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 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:    

  

Education - AFJROTC adds to your academic education and prove an aid in taking standardized tests, and be a big help with your future adult citizenship Credit towards graduation Military Training - You can learn about the military, past and present, with no commitment. Scholarships - ROTC can help you qualify for several types of scholarships. Though you have to earn most types, based on your grades and test scores, ROTC can greatly improve your chances. In addition, ROTC is a source for your learning about some of those available. Color Guard - We have a Color Guard team that presents the colors at ball games, PTSA meetings, and other functions. Drill Team - Out Drill Team participates in parades, demonstrations, and competitions. CLC - Cadet Leadership Course is a one-week encampment during the summer, conducted at The Citadel. It provides physical, academic, and military training, and leads to advanced rank and positions within our unit.

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 year’s 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 . 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 -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: 

Attitude Is Everything! You will have no problem if your attitude is right. Having a positive attitude means you will follow the rules, you will try, and you will participate.



Our academics are no harder than other classes.



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 don’t 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).



JROTC is not a place to correct behavioral problems. Students with serious problems will not last.



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 what’s 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. 4

Tuck your shirt or blouse tightly at the sides. Align the leading edge of your shirt with the belt buckle and the fly of your pants (the line this forms has been affectionately called the “gig line” by cadets who have been “gigged” for having shirt, buckle, and fly out of line). Males put belt on starting from the left side, ensuring belt es through all the belt loops. Females put belt on starting on the right side. The silver tip end of the belt extends beyond the end of the buckle with no blue fabric showing. Keep shirt and coat buttoned at all times. The coat may be removed in class or while eating. Keep service coat on in public places unless specifically authorized by your SASI/ASI Hair must be clean, neat, and well groomed. Must be styled so it does not touch the eyebrow or protrude in front below the band of properly worn headgear except that the hair may be visible in front of the women’s cap. Hair must not be worn in an extreme or fad style such as a Mohawk, pigtails, dog-ears, ducktail, or have designs cut in the hair. The design must not cause the hair to exceed length or bulk standards. Hair may not be dyed unnatural or multiple colors. Male Cadets - These specific standards apply to male cadets: 1.

Hair - Keep your hair clean, neat, and trimmed. It must not contain large amounts of grooming aids such as greasy creams, oils, and sprays that remain visible in the hair. When your hair is groomed, it should not touch your ears or eyebrows, and only the closely cut or shaved hair on the back of your neck should touch the collar. Your hair should not exceed 1-1⁄4 inches in bulk regardless of the length. Bulk is the distance that the hair projects from the scalp when groomed (as opposed to length of the hair). The bulk and length of your hair must not interfere with wearing any Air Force headgear properly, and it must not protrude below the front band of the headgear. Your hair must have a tapered appearance on both sides and back, both with and without headgear. A tapered appearance means that, when viewed from any angle, the outline of the hair on the side and back will generally match the shape of the skull, curving inward to the end point. Your hair may not contain or have attached to it any visible foreign items. If you dye your hair, it should look natural. You may not dye your hair an unusual color or one that contrasts with your natural coloring. No extreme of faddish hair styles are allowed.

Hair will not contain excessive amount of grooming aids or touch the eyebrows. Hair color/ highlights/frosting (must not be faddish). Examples of natural looking for human beings: Blonde/Brunette/ Red/Black. No shaved heads or flat-top hairstyles for women. Micro-braids and cornrows are authorized for women.

FUNDRAISING CONTRACT 1. Several times a year cadets are asked to the program by participating in unit fundraising activities. These fundraisers provide additional to the JROTC program not given by the Air Force or the School District. This additional 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 cadet’s 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.
