ABOUT US

What We Do

Established in 1975, our Oak Ridge Air Force Junior Reserves Officer Training Corps is the umbrella under which many different clubs operate. The cadets can participate on the Competition Drill Team, Exhibition Drill Team, Color Guard, Armed Color Guard, Kitty Hawk Honor Society, Armed Exhibition Team, Rocketry Club, Iron Knight competition, Cyber Patriot and the AJROTC Academic Bowl. Field Trips have included our “Weekend in the Woods” camping trip, Kennedy Space Center, Fantasy of Flight and Washington, D.C. Activities include our Military Ball at the Rosen Plaza, marching in the Orlando Veterans Day Parade, as well as our Awards Banquet, Change of Command, and Pass In Review. Our Color Guard supports virtually all of the Yellow Ribbon Events in Orlando for the Air Force Reserve Command.


Air Force Junior Reserves Officer Training Corps is open to 9th-12th grades. New members must have a legal residence, high moral character, good conduct, and be physically fit.


There is no military commitment for participating in AFJROTC. We are a citizenship organization preparing our cadets for the future by providing opportunities to learn leadership and self-discipline through participation.


Many students are eligible to receive 4-year scholarships and appointments to service academies.


JROTC Mission

The objectives of JROTC are to educate and train high school cadets in citizenship, promote community service, instill responsibility, character, and self-discipline, and provide instruction in air and space fundamentals.


The AFJROTC program is grounded in the Air Force core values of integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do. The curriculum emphasizes the Air Force heritage and traditions, the development of flight, applied flight sciences, military aerospace policies, and space exploration.
