Air Force JROTC

AIR FORCE JROTC PATHWAY

Cadets are introduced and explore a wide range of aerospace science, leadership development, and health and wellness topics throughout a 4-year AFJROTC program. Cadets investigate aerospace principles from the history of flight, to the employment of aerodynamic principles of flight, and discovering where we are going in the future with space exploration. Leadership development acquaints cadets with practical application of life skills, effective communication, and the use of drill and ceremonies to build self- and team discipline skills.
