What is air force JROTC?

The mission of Air Force Junior ROTC is to "Develop citizens of character." JROTC is not a military recruiting program. Cadets are never under any obligation to join the military.

AFJROTC is a Title 10, US Code-mandated citizenship training program that is designed to educate and train high school cadets in citizenship, promote community service, instill personal responsibility, character, and self-discipline. The program achieves this through classroom education in air and space fundamentals and hands-on learning opportunities in a number of fun and challenging extracurricular activities.

Cadets participate in physical activity and team sports on Fridays, and may be eligible to attend overnight field trips to leadership, aviation and space-related locations. All cadets are required to meet military grooming standards and wear the Air Force-issued uniform once a week for the entire school day. If you would like to know more about the program, ask a cadet or contact one of the instructors.
