Aerospace Science and Leadership (AFJROTC I)
Course #: 5601
Grade: 9-11
Prerequisite: Application and Interview by Aerospace Instructor
Junior ROTC offers study of the development in Aerospace Science (40%), Leadership (40%) and Wellness (20%). This year the aerospace science portion of the program will be an exciting journey into the study of science and space. It begins with the study of the space environment from the earliest of interest in astronomy and the heavens through the Renaissance and on into the modern space programs. It provides an in-depth study of the solar system, and issues critical to space travel. Throughout the course scenarios, videos and “hands-on” activities and technology enrichment activities are included. Leadership includes life skills, how to apply for college admission, how to conduct a job search, communication skills, individual and group behavior, basic leadership concepts, and cadet corps activities. Students are informed about real life issues such as understanding contracts, leases, will, warranties, legal notices and personal bills. Citizen responsibilities such as registering to vote, jury duty, and draft registration will be helpful. Cadets will wear the regulation Air Force uniform once a week (usually on Wednesday) or on those occasions prescribed by the SASI. Cadets will meet and maintain the personal hair and grooming standards established by the Air Force, AFJROTC Program Guide and AFJROTC Cadet Guide. Uniforms and PT gear are issued free of charge, but students are expected to keep their uniforms clean and serviceable and are responsible for the cost of cleaning and loss, theft or damage of uniform items. Activities devoted to Wellness and Physical Fitness account for 20% of the curriculum time. Drill and Ceremony activities will consist of stationary and marching movements IAW AFMAN 36-2203. ASI cadets are expected to know and perform the 30 command drill sequence. Students in all JROTC classes are afforded the opportunity to get involved in extracurricular activities such as community service, color guard, drill, saber, rocketry and orienteering teams that help enhance the student's personal behavior, levels of responsibility and self-esteem. Awards, from ribbons and medals to scholarships, are offered students who participate in a wide range of competitive activities. Field trips (2-3 per SY) during class time are planned to reinforce subjects taught in the classroom. There is no obligation for a student to serve in the military.
