AFJROTC

_{Greetings from the Air Force Junior ROTC Cadet Corps}

_{SC-952, AFJRTOC}

The Air Force Junior ROTC (AFJROTC) unit at Emerald High School was established on July 1, 1995.  It is a program that builds leadership through teamwork and problem solving.  AFJROTC teaches leadership and Air Force related subjects (space, history, flight). AFJROTC emphasizes life skills that will help students long after high school, no matter what career path they take.  These life skills are based on the Air Force core values of “integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do.” 

Instruction instills in each cadet a sense of patriotism and service to country and promotes personal responsibility.  The course also focuses on building teamwork and providing instruction in basic military skills.  Cadets participate in numerous co-curricular and extracurricular activities (community service, field trips, drill and fitness). 

THERE IS NO MILITARY OBLIGATION WITH ENROLLMENT
OR COMPLETION OF AN ROTC COURSE. 

MISSION OF JROTC:  To develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community.

GOALS:  To instill values of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment in high school students.

OBJECTIVES:  To educate and train high school cadets in citizenship, promote community service, instill responsibility, character, and self-discipline, and provide instruction in air and space fundamentals.

AIR FORCE CORE VALUES:

1. Integrity First.  Doing the right thing even when no one is looking.
2. Service Before Self.  Professional duties take precedence over personal desires.
3. Excellence In All We Do.  Doing the very best you can in each job you perform regardless of how large, small, difficult, or easy.  Always give 100 percent.
