Acomplisments of AK-033

History of AK-033

The West Anchorage High School Air Force Junior Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) was established at the original Anchorage High School on September 1st, 1968, and designated by the Air Force as AK-033. AK-033 was the first JROTC unit from any service established in the State of Alaska, and was the 33rd AFJROTC program in the Nation. The unit is currently under the supervision of Major (Ret.) Gregory Wiegle, Senior Aerospace Science Instructor; and Senior Master Sergeant (Ret.) Jeff Ullom, Aerospace Science Instructor. Under the supervision of our present and past instructors, the history of our corps is one that heavily follows the core values of AFJROTC: Integrity First • Service Before Self • Excellence In All We Do. Our corps is very competitive in almost everything we do, especially drill, where we regularly make the top 3 at all tournaments. We have even traveled to Daytona, Florida, to compete in the National JROTC Drill Competition, winning 1st place in the Color Guard event.
