Click on this link to read how US News reporters Alexandra Pannoni and Josh Moody describe JROTC. (no endorsement or approval intended) 1. This Program is built with 876 AFJROTC units with an additional 14 National Defense Cadet Corps units for a total of 890 units in high schools world-wide. There are more than 120,000 high school cadets in the program and over 1,940 retired United States Air Force (USAF) instructors who lead, mentor, guide, and teach our cadets in high schools in the US and around the world. AFJROTC enjoys overwhelming school administration and community support because of the huge positive impact on cadets, schools, communities, and our nation. In many communities that have no military bases within many miles, the cadets and instructors of AFJROTC are truly “The face of the USAF in communities all over the US and the world.” 2. This AFJROTC program is grounded in the Air Force core values of “integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do.” 3. This program IS about citizenship, leadership, and teamwork...with lots of fun too. This is NOT a recruiting program for any branch of the Armed Forces and/or any Federal Agency and absolutely NO obligation to join such organizations. What do we offer? 1. We offer courses comprised of Aerospace Science, Leadership Education, and Health and Wellness studies. Students who successfully complete the classes are granted credit toward graduation. Each of our four (4) upper level courses include the option of Honors credit. 2. We offer Aerospace Science and includes the heritage of flight, principles of aircraft flight and navigation, human requirements of flight, development of aerospace power, aerospace vehicles, rocketry, space and technology programs, aerospace industry, cultural studies of major world regions and cyber technology. STEM curriculum is introduced to help students better understand science-and math-related curriculum, improve critical-thinking skills, and prepare cadets to be more competitive in the 21st century. Leadership Education introduces students to military customs and courtesies, character education, citizenship in the United States, first aid, wellness, health and fitness, basic drill and ceremonies, critical thinking, effective communications, management, human relations and college and career readiness, preparing students for life after high school. 3. We offer before, during, and after school activities with Leadership Development Requirements activities, clubs, and teams. These activities include Drill, Multicopter (Drones / sUAVs / RC aircraft), Raider (Physical Fitness), and coming soon, Marksmanship and Weather Observing Teams. The AFJROTC program provides opportunities with more teams and activities, which is only limited by your motivation and time. 4. We offer "The Flight Academy Scholarship Program" provides opportunities to place motivated, dedicated, and qualified Cadets in the pilot's seat. Qualified selected Cadets are afforded an opportunity to fly at an established University's Aviation Program and receive world class flight instruction leading to a Private Pilot License for FREE. Check out AFJROTC Flight Academy Programs website: Click HERE. 5. We offer an action-packed Program. Each semester we plan field trips and curriculum in action events. Our drill teams (unarmed, armed, and color guard) and Raider Teams (Fitness) travel to competitions. The rocket club blasts rockets into the atmosphere. Our award programs recognize outstanding performers and cadet leadership (staff members) develop, plan, organized, and execute socializing events such as our Military Ball, drill practices, and community service. NOTE: You are not required to commit to or join the US Armed Forces to take AFJROTC courses. Our program affords opportunities to apply and compete for college scholarships (Click on each of the following services for more information), which includes Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. Also, increased monthly pay is available to students who complete two or more courses and enlist in the US Armed Forces (as determined by each branch of service; see a recruiter for current details) What resources are available to gain more information? 1. Please review our "Cadet Handbook" (Guide) to help you understand more about Fike's AFJROTC program. 2. Talk it over with your friends, parents, and advisor (counselor). Ask our experienced cadets what they think about our program. If you think Fike's AFJROTC Program has something to offer you, see the Aerospace Science Instructors for details.
