Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC)

Philosophy

AAE students earn credit toward high school graduation by becoming Air Force Junior Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) cadets and attending AFJROTC classes. The AAE AFJROTC program will motivate grade 9-12 students to pursue a college degree. It will make them competitive for attendance at the USAF Academy. It will make them competitive for an ROTC scholarship at the college or university they choose to attend. JROTC will even make them more qualified should they choose to go directly into the military (hopefully they will join the Air Force). The Air Force supports this effort free of charge by providing uniforms, equipment, funding, and instructors to the AAE. Aerospace Science (AS) and Leadership Education (LE) are an integral parts of AFJROTC instruction that overlap with each other.

Goals

  1. To develop citizens or character, dedicated to serving our nation and your communities.
  2. To excel in knowledge; be challenged both academically and physically; to encourage a sense of adventure; while having fun.
  3. To instill values of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility, and sense of accomplishment in high school students.

Department Policies

  1. The mandatory AFJROTC activities are planned to take place during school hours, not before or after school. There is no obligation whatsoever to join the military. AFJROTC is a great opportunity for AAE students to take a look at the military lifestyle with no strings attached. The only obligation is willingness to proudly wear the USAF uniform to school at least once a week.
  2. Students will also participate in the Extreme Excellence Challenge (E2C) Wellness and Fitness Program. The goals of this 36-week wellness and fitness program include:
    • Creating individualized training programs based on national standards by age and gender
    • Identifying areas of improvement for each student
    • Incorporating a physical training program for each student to reach their goal
    • Develop a personal nutritional plan for each student, promoting healthy eating habits
  3. Some AFROTC courses satisfy graduation requirements for Freshman Studies, Health, and Physical Education.
