LE I, Introduction to AFJROTC Instructor: CMSgt Daniel

Text: Leadership Education I: Introduction to AFJROTC, 2004 edition with workbook

Course Description: This course is designed to give new cadets a foundation for success in JROTC and life. Topics include: study skills, time management, ethics, stress management, wellness, first aid, types of governments, Air Force customs and courtesies, uniform wear, and basic drill skills.

Course Objectives:

(1) Know the importance of attitude, discipline, respect, values and ethics

(2) Know the importance of individual self-control and an effective stress management program

(3) Know the importance of keeping yourself well and helping others stay well

(4) Know the elements of a good citizen and be familiar with the different forms of government

(5) Know military traditions and the importance of high standards of dress and personal appearance

(6) Understand the history, mission, purpose, goals, and objectives of the JROTC program

Discipline: Self-discipline is fundamental to the AFJROTC mission of developing responsible citizens. You are expected to be well behaved and courteous at all times. Cadets who violate Huntsville High School Student Handbook or Cadet Guide rule will be subject to disciplinary procedures.

Demerits: The Flight Commander in each class in each class is expected to maintain class order. He/She will issue demerits for any infractions. Excessive demerits may result in a Cadet Evaluation Board and will negatively affect your ability to earn rank, hold staff positions, earn awards, or participate in AFJROTC activities.

Leadership Grade: Poor classroom behavior, unexcused absences, tardiness, failure to participate in drill and physical fitness activities will result in a zero daily leadership grade.

Excused Absences (including Field Trips): Missed assignments or tests must be made up within a one week period following the absence. Assignments (e.g. reports) may be turned prior to the absence.

Unexcused Absences / Failure to Turn Work in on Time: If you fail to provide a note from your parent/guardian within two days of your return from an absence, the absence will be considered unexcused. Work not turned in on the date due will be assessed a 10% penalty for each day late, up to a maximum of three days. Overdue assignments will not be accepted after three days.

Grading: 100% - 90% = A, 89% - 80% = B, 79% - 70% = C, 69% - 60% = D, Below 60% = F

Your course grade is a weighted average of your daily academic, leadership and E2C grades. The Aerospace portion of the course( tests, projects, workbooks etc.) counts 40% of your AFJROTC grade. Leadership makes up 40% of your total grade and includes drill, uniform wear, classroom behavior, and Leadership Education curriculum.

E2C, a physical conditioning program satisfying the Alabama LIFE PE course requirements for graduation counts 20%.

Classroom Participation: Mutual respect and behavior are keys to an effective learning environment. Put-downs and trash talk will not be allowed. You are expected to come to class on time and actively participate in class activities. In turn, your instructors pledge to treat you fairly and do all they can to help you develop into a better cadet, student, and citizen.
