Course Description
The mission of the Air Force Junior ROTC is to, “Develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community.” The objectives of the program are to educate and train high school students in citizenship; promote community service; instill responsibility, character, and self-discipline; and provide instruction in air and space fundamentals. Each course is divided into three areas of instruction: Aerospace Science (40%), Leadership Education (40%), and Health & Wellness (20%). Drill and ceremonies is integrated into the Leadership Education portion and is part of every course. Here cadets are provided fundamental and in-depth instruction in Air Force drill and ceremonies. Health and Wellness is also part of every course. It is a mental and physical program focused on individual baseline improvements in set exercises with the goal of achieving a national standard based on age and gender. The objective is to motivate students to lead an active, healthy lifestyle beyond program requirements into their adult lives. AFJROTC 1 may substitute ½ credit per semester towards the physical education state graduation requirements. Students can earn college credit from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs or Adams State College for each year of AFJROTC.
