TX-948 has a variety of teams for cadets to participate in. Activities associated with these teams are known as "Leadership Development Requirements" or "LDRs". LDR activities are AFJROTC-sponsored and school-approved teams and/or committees that normally plan or participate in events conducted outside classroom hours while being supervised by an instructor. Committees plan events such as the Military Ball, parades, award ceremonies, etc., while the teams participate in CyberPatriots, drill competitions, Color Guard, Saber Team, quadcopters, physical training, etc. Participation on these teams is optional, however, we encourage cadets to join at least one of these teams as it helps to enhance a cadet's JROTC experience.
