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 will also fulfill half of the district's Physical

Education requirement, and Health 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, Introduction to Global Awareness, and Global and

Cultural Studies. The Leadership Education course work includes: Citizenship,

Character and Air Force Tradition, Communication, Awareness and Leadership, Life

Skills and Career Opportunities, and Principles of Management. To enhance classroom

learning, Students participate in extracurricular and social activities such as

Curriculum-In-Action trips, drill teams, honor guards, model rocketry, and other

military functions. 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, personal conduct and appearance as

prescribed by the Air Force to enroll and remain in AFJROTC.
