What is Air Force Junior ROTC?

Air Force Junior ROTC is a citizenship program for high school students in the ninth through twelfth grades. Students receive elective credit for each of the four AFJROTC courses. Successful completion of an AFJROTC course fulfills half of the district's Physical Education requirement. AFJROTC encourages its students to get involved in community service to produce well-informed and helpful citizens. Each year's Aerospace Science course work relates to a different theme, examples are: Journey into Aviation History, The Exploration of Space, and Global and Cultural Studies. Leadership Education course work includes: Citizenship, Character and Air Force Tradition, Communication, Awareness and Leadership, and Life Skills and Career Opportunities. To enhance classroom learning, students participate in extracurricular and social activities such as field trips, drill teams, honor guards, model rocketry, and military balls. Students and parents must agree that the student will participate in a physical training program that is conducted at least once a week in all four courses. The physical training program is no more strenuous than the school's physical education program. Also, students are expected to wear the Air Force uniform, which is provided at no cost, at least once a week. Student's wear of the Air Force uniform must conform to Air Force standards to include grooming standards. Students must meet and maintain acceptable standards of academic achievement and personal conduct and appearance as prescribed by the Air Force to enroll and remain in AFJROTC.
