Drill

The purpose of military drill is to move a group of individuals from point A to point B in an efficient manner. In Basic Training or Boot Camp drill instills military bearing, discipline, and a sense of accomplishment. It teaches adherence to standards, response to commands, individual coordination, teamwork, esprit de corps (the spirit of the formation/body from an historic perspective), alertness, urgency, confidence, followership, attention to detail, and leadership. It gives a group the ability to render respect, show honor, and uphold tradition. It’s also a form of exercise.

From this cadets learning a wide range of leadership skills, to include: the ability to instruct others, delegation of responsibility while maintaining performance outcome, memorization of routine, the ability to think quickly operate within a time limit, physical boundaries, and recovery from mistakes.

Marksman

The AFJROTC Marksmanship Program is a voluntary, extracurricular leadership development activity dedicated to training and educating cadets on the responsible uses of firearms (specifically air guns) through safety training, marksmanship training and competitions.

Safety is the foundation of the program. Instructors place the highest priority on serving youth through gun safety and marksmanship activities that encourage personal growth and life-building skills.

The primary goal is not to teach cadets to shoot. It is to teach discipline, concentration and other skills young people can use in the future. Young people develop these qualities through the shooting sports program because their success depends almost solely on individual dedication and practice.

Competition Team meets Tuesday evenings 5:00 - 8:30 pm at Yellowstone Rifle Club.

Practices are also held Thursday evenings on the Lockwood High School Campus and is open to all cadets.

Archery

Archery has the unique ability to draw people out of a crowd. JROTC archery is an activity that doesn’t discriminate based on popularity, athletic skill, gender, size, or academic ability.

Archery is one of the fastest growing sports around the world because it empowers individuals.

Raiders

Raider is a competitive fitness club team that will test the endurance, strength, and speed of your cadets. Led by Army JROTC, there is unfortunately no standardized format for how Raider competitions are conducted nationwide, so expect nuanced differences depending on the region you are in. In general, though, teams compete in either a male, female, or mixed division. Programs that have 15 or so cadets interested in working out probably have enough to fill at least one team.

Competition days vary depending on the facilities that the host high school has on their property. It is common to see events like team runs, rope bridge, tire flips, HUMVEE pulls, sandbag relays, and more. The teams that can complete the various activities in the fastest times wins.

Raider Team will meet Mondays on the Lockwood High School campus from 7:45 - 8:45 am.

Flight Sim/Academy

The experiential Learning Program (XLP) is a universal program for the AFJROTC, Navy JROTC and Det 1 Flight Academy application processes. It is also designed to support other programs such as Cyber and Drone Academy.

APT

Awareness Presentation Team (APT) consists of bright cadets passionate about spreading awareness to their local community on important historical figures and social issues through multi-media projects.

Not only is APT beneficial to the local community, but it allows cadets to help their community while exploring public speaking. APT encourages teamwork, communication, and most importantly, pride in historical figures who imbue moral and virtuous character we can all find aspiration in.

Community Service

Community Service activities teach cadets the value of "Service before Self," giving them opportunities to be civic leaders and mentors to others by making a positive impact in their own local community.

Dining In/Military Ball/CIA

Dining In - The Dining In is a formal dinner function for members of a military organization or unit. It provides an occasion for cadets, officers, noncommissioned officers, and their guests to gather together in an atmosphere of camaraderie, good fellowship, fun, and social rapport. It is important to emphasize that a dining-in celebrates the unique bond or cohesion that has held military units together in battle, rather then become just another mandatory function (GUIDE TO THE MILITARY DINING-IN. n.d.).

Military Ball - The major difference between Dining-in and the military ball is that guests are welcome, whereas the participants in a Dining-in are unit members only. The atmosphere is more like a school dance. It typically includes a dinner, posting of the colors, presentation of awards.

Curriculum in Action (CIA) - Otherwise known as a field trip, is an integral part of the JROTC cadet experience as it brings classroom learning to life and shows the practicality of lessons learned in the classroom.
