ABOUT US

What is Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC)?

An Air Force program designed to offer high school students’ leadership and followership experiences, and to “Develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community”.
Not an USAF accessions program and cadets are NEVER under any obligation to join the military,
A Congressionally-mandated citizenship training program. It is designed to educate and train students in citizenship, promote community service, instill personal responsibility, character, and self-discipline.
There are more than 870 units in high schools world-wide with over 90,000 cadets.

How do we meet our objectives:

Teach courses about flight, world geography, leadership, uniform wear, organization, drill, & physical fitness (PT).
Cadets are empowered to run the program. A cadet staff is competitively selected and given a multitude of responsibilities to manage many facets of the program with oversight from both instructors.
We expect cadets to maintain good grades, come to school, and behave. Why? An assortment of rewards, opportunities, and fun await for all cadets:
1. Participate in 6 after-school clubs.
2. Join our ceremonial color guard teams.
3. Participate in 9 field trips per year.
4. Participate in numerous community service events.
5. Join our drill or color guard traveling competitive teams.
6. Prepare/attend summer Cadet Leadership Course (CLC) at The Citadel.
