The Cadet Handbook describes the requirements for being an AFJROTC Cadet at Socastee High School. As a Cadet you will be responsible for knowing and applying the contents of this handbook. We encourage you to share the information in the handbook with your parents/guardians so they may also know what is expected of you. You and your parents/guardians will then complete an Air Force Junior ROTC Course Agreement. Note: Uniform/shoes will be issued to each cadet at no cost. However, there will be a twenty dollar ($20) fee, per semester, due 15 September (1st Sem)/15 February (2nd Sem). This fee helps to offset the cost of non-returnable items.As a JROTC Cadet, a great deal more will be expected of you than your fellow students at Socastee. You will be required to conform to Air Force JROTC grooming standards, uniform standards, and a strict personal code of conduct, to include reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. There is no obligation to join any branch of military service after taking JROTC; however, there are advantages given to graduating cadets in good standing who take ROTC in college or enlist in the military. Recognition for achievement and service is an important part of the JROTC program. Each semester you will be required to attend an awards recognition ceremony in the evening. This will count as a uniform inspection grade. Cadets are recognized for their involvement in activities, community service, school attendance, good conduct, physical fitness, as well as many other categories. Parents/guardians are encouraged to attend these ceremonies to join in the celebration of these achievements.As we progress through the JROTC curriculum you will be responsible for completing all of your classroom assignments and wearing the prescribed AFJROTC uniform at least once per week. The uniform inspection grade is weighted as 50% of your overall AFJROTC grade. Failure to wear the uniform weekly or improper use of the uniform may result in cadet removal from the JROTC. JROTC should not be considered an easy alternative to taking physical education. Physical training/wellness is an important part of the JROTC program and you will be required to participate in weekly physical training activities. Physical training/wellness is weighted as 20% of your AFJROTC grade. Additionally, there will be field trips and extra-curricular activities that have been planned to enhance your JROTC experience. Some of these activities will occur on non-school days or evenings. To be successful in JROTC, you will be encouraged to participate in some of these activities.AFJROTC is an excellent program and will provide you with a great opportunity to develop, not only as an individual, but as a productive part of our school and community. Our challenge to you is for you to do your best and take advantage of the opportunities provided in the Air Force Junior ROTC program.JUAN SILVA JR., Lt Col, USAF (Ret)KEVIN H.

To ensure proper care of clothing; light blue shirts, ABUs, PT gear, and unit T-shirts need to be laundered (washing machine) after every wear and dark blue items (jacket, coat, pants, hat, tie) need to be dry-cleaned as needed and prior to turn-in.2.6 Cadet Responsibilities: Each cadet will agree to abide by the rules and regulations of the Aerospace Science Department and to accept responsibility for the proper care and maintenance of his or her AFJROTC uniform, AFJROTC textbooks, and other AFJROTC equipment. Failure to do so will create financial obligations which may prevent later registration for classes, transfer of credit or graduation.3 CONDUCT AND MILITARY COURTESY3.1 GENERAL: All cadets are expected to abide by all standards set forth by Horry County Schools, Socastee High School, the Socastee High School Parent-Student Handbook and the SC-821 Cadet Handbook. The nature of the JROTC mission, as well as its high visibility within the school and the community, requires its members to adhere to higher standards than might normally be found among the student population. Such good behavior will reflect credit upon themselves, their parents, the SC-821 Cadet Group, Socastee High School and the United States Air Force Junior ROTC program.3.2 CLASSROOM PROCEDURES: Promptness is an objective of the AFJROTC program and cadets are expected to be behind their chairs at "Parade Rest" before the late bell rings. When entering the classroom at the beginning of class, each cadet will go directly to his/her chair and place only AFJROTC required materials (handbook, notepaper, pen/pencil) on their table top. Cadets will then stand behind their chair at “Parade Rest” with no talking. Cadets having any non-AFJROTC materials (other class books, cell phones, letters, organizers, etc.) on their table anytime during the class period will have those items taken away. Book bags, gym bags etc., will be stored underneath each cadet's table, not in the aisle. Cadets not behind their chairs and at “Parade Rest” when the tardy bell rings will be marked tardy and lose 25 points from that week’s Leadership-in-Action grade. The Flight Sergeant will command "Flight Attention" at which time all cadets will assume the position of "attention" behind their chairs. The Flight Commander will command the Flight Guide to post the Flight Guide-on at the front of the classroom. Afterwards, the Flight Sergeant will lead the flight in reciting the Air Force Junior ROTC Cadet Creed. The Flight Commander will then command the Flight Sergeant to “Acquire the Report”. The Flight Sergeant will then command "Report". Each element leader, beginning with the first, will report to the Flight Sergeant the name of any cadet who is absent by saluting and stating, "Sir/Ma'am, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, (etc.) element reports Cadet(s) (last name) is absent, Sir/Ma’am.” If no cadets are absent the element leader will state "Sir/Ma'am 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. element reports all cadets present and accounted for, Sir/Ma’am". The Flight Sergeant will then return the salute. When all element leaders have reported, the Flight Sergeant will report to the Flight Commander by stating “Sir/Ma’am, Alpha, Bravo, (etc.) Flight reports Cadet (s) (last name) is absent, Sir/Ma’am” or “All cadets are present or accounted for, Sir/Ma’am”. The Flight Sergeant will, in turn, report to the instructor. If the Flight Commander is absent, the Flight Sergeant will replace him or her, and element leaders and alternate element leaders (cadets sitting next to element leaders) will fill in, as needed. If the Flight Sergeant is absent, the first element leader will move up (continue to the next element leader, if absent). If all element leaders are absent, the alternate element leader will take his or her place.3.2.1 After the attendance has been reported to the instructor by the Flight Sergeant, the Flight Commander will command "Take your seats". 3.2.2 In the event the instructor is delayed, the Flight Commander will give the command "Flight, ATTENTION" when the instructor enters. Cadets will then stand and assume a position of attention and maintain it until the instructor orders "Take your seats". 3.2.3 Cadets arriving after the tardy bell will wait behind the black tile in front of the SC-821 display board to report-in until the instructor has received the class report. At that time, the tardy cadet will KNOCK ONCE on the side of the display, wait to be acknowledged, salute and then report in to the Flight Commander stating, "Sir/Ma'am, Cadet (last name) requests permission to enter the classroom". If the Flight Commander is not present when the tardy cadet arrives the cadet will report-in to the Flight Sergeant who will in turn inform the instructor. Late cadets will receive a Socastee High School tardy referral unless they bring a written excuse with them to class.3.2.3.1 When leaving the classroom during the class period the Flight Commander will give the command "Flight, Attention," the Flight Commander will then command the flight to the required location. When returning, the flight will return in a military order by element. The Guide will stop and open the door for the other Cadets. Once in the room the Cadets will stand behind their chairs at “attention" until the Flight Commander calls "at ease" or "seats."3.2.3.2 Prior to dismissal, The Flight Sergeant will call, “Flight, Attention," and the Flight Commander will command the Flight Guide to “Retire the Flight Guide-on”. Dismissal from class will be by the Flight Commander and not by the bell. When the bell rings the Flight Commander will call "Dismissed" at which time the cadets will repeat, in unison, their flight motto and then leave the classroom in a quiet and orderly manner.3.2.4 CADET RULES. All cadets will be expected to abide by the following rules:3.2.4.1 Be on time to class each day with all materials ready for class.3.2.4.2 REQUIRED CLASS ITEMS: Blue/Black pen/pencil, notepaper, and Cadet Handbook. These will be placed on the desk prior to assuming the position of parade rest.3.2.4.3 Gum chewing, food and drinks are not allowed in any AFJROTC room. Food and/or drinks may be allowed for a special occasion if permission is given by the instructor.3.2.4.4 Comply with instructions given to you by the cadet in charge.3.2.4.5 Listen and follow instructions the first time; if unclear ask for clarification.3.2.4.6 Raise your hand and be recognized before speaking. Cadets will address instructors by their rank and last name and answer a question with "Yes/No, Sir/Ma'am" as appropriate. Do not use the words "yeah", "yep", “nah” etc. - use of them is not acceptable in JROTC.3.2.4.7 Use appropriate language; no put downs, teasing, cursing, loud or vulgar language.3.2.4.8 No yelling, horseplay, dancing, singing (other than the AF song), or climbing on tables.3.2.4.9 Be attentive/quiet when someone else is speaking. 3.2.4.10 Respect school and fellow cadets’ property. 3.2.4.11 Keep hands, feet and all other objects to yourself.3.2.4.12 Sit in chairs properly, no slouching, sleeping or leaning head on desk. Feet belong on the floor. 3.2.4.13 Do not demonstrate any affection (holding hands, hugging, kissing, etc.) in the AFJROTC classroom. Public Display of Affection (PDA) is not tolerated and it will not be allowed in the AFJROTC classroom, during events or anytime while in in uniform.3.2.4.14 No cosmetics, lotions, hairspray, deodorants or perfumes will be opened or sprayed in the AFJROTC classroom and dressing rooms.3.2.4.15 The instructor's offices are off-limits to all cadets. You must seek permission to enter SASI/ASI offices. You will knock once, and when acknowledged, state your business. Do not touch anything on the instructors’ desks. You must have permission to use computers and/or telephone.3.2.4.16 Do not sleep in class. If tired, move to the rear of the classroom and remain standing. 3.2.4.17 Let an instructor know if you are ill. Excuses from drill/physical training must be in writing from your parent/guardian and presented to an instructor at the beginning of class. 3.2.4.18 Use the chain-of-command. Example: turn in request to Element Leader, who will turn it into the flight commander, to the squadron commander, so on and so forth.3.2.4.19 Tuck unit and JROTC PT shirts in prior to entering the AFJROTC classroom (both male and female cadets). Your waistband, belt, or belt loops must be visible.3.2.4.20 Glitter is prohibited within the confines of all AFJROTC rooms.3.3 MILITARY COURTESY: Cadets will observe correct military conduct at all times. The practice of saying "YES/NO SIR/MA'AM" to instructors, military service members, school administrators, teachers, classroom visitors and cadets who are senior to you is always observed. Such responses reflect long-established military courtesies which will soon become a habit. The instructors and cadet senior staff will enforce strict military courtesy throughout the course. Military courtesy will be applied at all JROTC events.3.3.1 When an instructor or other classroom visitor enters the room from the hallway entrances, the first flight member to see the person enter will call the room to attention; “Flight, Attention”. Do not wait and expect another flight member to call the flight to attention, take the initiative and show the proper courtesy to our visitors. When the SASI/ASI is not conducting classroom instruction, the flight will be called to attention when one of the “Top 4” cadet officers enters the classroom from the hallway entrances. 3.3.2 Position of Honor. This military courtesy began centuries ago, when warriors fought with swords. Since they were primarily right-handed, the sword was carried with their right hand and the left side , where the shield was, became the defensive position. Since units were proud of their fighting ability, the right side (sword-bearing side) or right of the battle line became the position of honor, assumed by great warriors and leaders. Thus, a cadet should walk or sit on the LEFT side of the school principal, administrator, JROTC instructor, teacher, military service member or a JROTC cadet officer of higher rank.3.3.3 Use proper telephone etiquette if you answer the class room phone by saying, “Air Force JROTC, cadet (your last name). May I help you?” Ensure any phone message is delivered to the instructors. 3.4 LEARN TO THINK BEFORE SPEAKING. Try to do things yourself rather than asking questions that are not necessary. For example, questions such as "What's the date?" or "What time is this class over?" are not appropriate as the answers to these questions are already posted in the classroom.3.5 RESPECT. This involves respect for self as well as mutual respect for others.3.6 INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR. Inappropriate behavior, in or out of uniform, is prohibited while a member of the SC-821 cadet group. This behavior includes, but is not limited to, consuming alcohol, tobacco use, horseplay, fighting, disparaging remarks, insubordination, disrespect, bullying, hazing, verbal threats and physical attacks. After a report of inappropriate behavior is made, an immediate investigation of the alleged incident will begin which could result in removal from the JROTC program.3.6.1 Hazing/Bullying, is the practice of directing someone to perform a humiliating act which entails the surrender of dignity and self-respect or a hazardous act which exposes one to physical danger, is strictly forbidden. Requiring cadets to perform push-ups or any other physical activity as punishment, (with the exception of part of the physical fitness program) is strictly forbidden.3.6.2 Harassment, such as improper or abusive language, and coercion of any cadets for personal gain is strictly forbidden. Misuse of authority will not be condoned nor tolerated in SC-821. 3.6.3 Reporting an Incident. If a cadet feels that he/she is being hazed or harassed in any way, you must bring this to the attention of the SASI/ASI. If you witness or are made aware of an alleged hazing/harassment incident by a cadet, you must immediately report it to the SASI/ASI. After a report of hazing or harassment is made, an immediate investigation of the alleged incident will begin which could result in removal from the JROTC program.4 CADET HONOR CODE4.1 The SC-821 Cadet Honor Code is: "I will not lie, cheat, or steal nor tolerate anyone among us that does."The subject of honor is very important to us. We can learn a lesson from all the service academies whose young men and women adhere to the same honor code. Although, as a Junior ROTC cadet, you are not committed to the Air Force, you are still expected to bring honor to yourself, your family and your school. The best way to do that is to guard your integrity as your most precious asset. Do not lie, cheat, or steal or allow anyone else to, and you will always have the trust you'll need to succeed.4.2 The following constitutes the most important guiding principles of the SC-821 Cadet Honor Code:a. Intentional dishonesty is inexcusable and will not be condoned.b. Quibbling, evasive statements or technicalities in order to shield guilt is dishonest.c. A cadet’s signature affixed to anything means exactly what is says both in letter and in spirit.d. Falsifying any document is a violation of the Cadet Honor Code.4.2.1 Cheating is not tolerated. Cheating is taking unfair advantage of a situation or of fellow classmates in order to obtain higher grades, better opportunities, an academic/leadership award, or some other tangible gain. Cheating is usually, but not always, accomplished by using or copying from another person's work, or purposely not following instructions.4.3 Individuals who either knowingly allow others to violate the Cadet Honor Code are just as guilty as the active violator. They are willing participants and have endorsed, by their action, an act of dishonesty. They will be dealt with exactly the same as the active honor code violator.4.5 While instances of an honor code violation will be dealt with on an individual basis, these guidelines are intended to inform all cadets in advance of the seriousness with which such activities are viewed by SC-821 AFJROTC instructors. Any cadet accused of violating the Cadet Honor Code may be scheduled to appear before a Cadet Evaluation Board. 5 CADET APPEARANCE5.1 As an AFJROTC cadet you will wear the official uniform of the United States Air Force.

The reputation of the US Air Force as a professional military organization is known worldwide. Since the uniform you wear is a symbol of that reputation, each cadet in the AFJROTC program must wear it properly. This handbook provides basic guidance on the proper wear of the AFJROTC uniform. Detailed guidance can be found in the AFJROTC Cadet Uniform and Awards Guide. If an instructor observes a cadet violating uniform wear, the appropriate deduction will be made from the cadet's inspection score. 6.2 UNIFORM OF THE DAY: The Uniform of the Day (UOD) is the uniform prescribed for wear by the Cadet Group Commander/SASI/ASI. The hat is considered an integral part of the uniform. When outdoors, personnel shall remain covered at all times except when ordered to uncover. The uniforms are to be worn by all cadets, ALL DAY on uniform day and/or on other occasions as prescribed by the SASI/ASI. Failure to wear the uniform all day, unless excused by the SASI/ASI, will result in a uniform inspection grade of zero (0) for the week. NOTE: A/B students only wear the uniform on the Wednesdays they have JROTC.6.3 AUTHORIZED UNIFORM ITEMS 6.3.1 Do not mix any uniform items (including the windbreaker) with civilian clothing. 6.3.2 SHORT SLEEVE BLUE SHIRT (SSS).

The short sleeve shirt will be washed/laundered after each wearing. 6.5 GENERAL RULES FOR WEARING THE UNIFORM:6.5.1 Wednesday is uniform day. The uniform combination to be worn will be posted in the classroom and briefed. Uniform wear will be evaluated weekly using the checklist found in the Cadet Handbook. If you are absent on uniform day, you must make up the inspection your first day back in class. If you do not wear the uniform, you will receive a zero (0) for uniform grade for the week missed. Uniform inspections can be made up through the following Tuesday but 25 points is deducted per day after the scheduled inspection. For example, if you make up the uniform inspection on a Monday, the highest score you could receive is 80 due to 20 points being deducted for being 2 days late. Do not give or loan uniform items to anyone.6.5.2 Your "GIG" line is the line formed by the edge of the shirt, the edge of the belt buckle, and the fly of the trousers. The "GIG" line should always be kept straight. Check it frequently.6.5.3 Trim loose strings and frayed seams on the uniform. Replace missing buttons promptly. 6.5.4 Carry books, book bags and other objects in the left hand to free the right hand for saluting.6.5.5 Sunglasses will not be worn on the body. Nothing (other than a hat) is tucked into the belt.6.5.6 Prohibitions while in uniform include: gum, sports activities, headphones/earbuds, hitchhiking, physical labor, and outside employment.6.6 UNIFORM TURN-IN. 6.6.1 At the end of the school year or within 5 days of withdrawing from AFJROTC, ALL UNIFORM ITEMS MUST BE TURNED-IN. Uniform items will be dry cleaned prior to being turned in. Lost items must be paid for promptly. Turn in uniform items only to the SASI/ASI, not to the principal, teacher or any other school personnel. If lost items are not paid for promptly, the cadet’s name will be added to the school’s fine list. OPTIONAL ITEMS 6.7.1 Certain uniform items are considered optional. This means if these items are to be worn by cadets they must be purchased by the cadet at the Military Clothing Sales Store on any Air Force Base. The SASI/ASI reserves the right to designate which items may be worn by cadets and the circumstances under which they may be worn. Therefore, never purchase any optional item without first checking with an instructor as to its suitability. Gloves are to be solid black in color, without designs and five fingered (no skiing type gloves).THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE UNIFORM IS ONE OF THE SYMBOLS OF A PROUD AND HONORABLE SERVICE. WEAR THE UNIFORM WITH THE CARE AND PRIDE IT DESERVES.7 CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT ACCOUNT7.1 Protecting government property is every cadet's responsibility. All uniform items, AFJROTC textbooks, charts, etc., are equipment items loaned to you by the Air Force and must be accounted for at all times.?7.2 Upon issue, cadets will place initials on each line of the uniform receipt form for each individual item of uniform and equipment issued. Each item then becomes your personal responsibility. If you lose, willfully or negligently damage/destroy it, you will be required to pay for it. The cost of replacement items is listed in the cadet handbook.?7.3 One complete blue uniform with all accessories and insignia and Airman Battle Uniform (when available) is issued to each cadet. It is very important that each cadet understand that all items of the uniform or equipment (with the exception of black shoes, T-shirts, socks, and PT gear) must be dry-cleaned and returned or paid for before the end of the school term/year. In addition, a financial obligation will be incurred which will not allow you to graduate, register, or transfer credit until satisfied.?7.4 To preclude unnecessary expense to the cadet and/or delay of receipt of grades or diploma, and to provide for efficient turn-in of uniforms and equipment, the following suggestions are offered:?7.4.1 Do not leave uniform items in unlocked lockers or unattended in other places at school.7.4.2 Do not permit another cadet to turn-in your uniform or equipment items.7.4.3 Do not lend insignia or other uniform/equipment items to your friends.7.4.4 Do place your name inside your flight cap and windbreaker.7.4.5 Do be alert for uniform or equipment items left or misplaced by another cadet. Turn-in such items to the SASI/ASI.?7.5 Clothing items that become worn or otherwise unserviceable should be turned in to the SASI/ASI as soon as possible. If the unserviceable condition is due to fair wear and tear in normal use, the item will be replaced at no cost. If the unserviceable condition is deliberate or due to negligence you will be held financially responsible. Items of clothing that do not fit properly will be exchanged.8 SALUTING/PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE/NATIONAL ANTHEM RULES?8.1 The salute is a friendly military exchange of greetings the world over. Military personnel consider the salute a courteous and respectful greeting among members, and it is one of the oldest traditions binding military people together. You will be taught the proper manner of saluting and the rules that govern its use. The way cadets execute a salute is important. A smartly executed salute indicates pride in themselves and the Corps of Cadets. A sloppy, lackadaisical salute indicates lack of confidence and pride. ?8.2 When outdoors and in uniform at Socastee High School, saluting is always required. Salute when you recognize the person as an officer and eye contact is made with him/her within a reasonable distance. You must salute any commissioned officer as well as any cadet officers of higher rank in uniform when outside.?8.3 The salute is rendered indoors only when cadets are reporting to an instructor/cadet officers. The proper sequence of reporting includes saluting and stating "Sir/Ma'am, Cadet (Last Name) reports as ordered". The cadet holds the salute until it is returned. When the purpose of the meeting is completed, the cadet again salutes until it is returned. The cadet then turns smartly towards the most direct exit and departs.8.4 If a cadet observes the American flag being raised or lowered, he/she will assume the position of attention, render the hand salute (if in uniform) and hold it until the flag has reached the summit or base of the flag staff. If the cadet is in civilian clothes he/she will remove headgear assume the position of attention and place the right hand over the heart. ?8.5 During Pledge of Allegiance, in uniform indoors, the cadet will stand at attention, face the flag and recite the Pledge. When in uniform outdoors the cadet will stand at attention, remain silent, face the flag, and render the hand salute. When not in uniform, either indoors or out of doors, the cadet will stand at attention, place right hand over the heart and recite the pledge. ?8.6 During the National Anthem, in uniform indoors, the cadet will face the flag (if present, if not, face the music,) stand at attention and remain silent but not salute unless under arms. When in uniform outdoors, the cadet, the cadet will stand at attention, face the flag (if it is visible, or the music if it is not,) remain silent and salute until the anthem is completed. If the cadet is not in uniform, stand at attention, face the flag, and place the right hand over the heart (cadets will also hold the hat in the right hand as described in 8.7 above). 8.7 If a cadet is late for a formation, he or she will approach the cadet or person in charge when the formation is at a halt, salute, and request permission to fall-in.?8.8 Cadet Officers and cadet NCOs should correct saluting errors in a courteous and helpful manner when such errors are committed by cadets junior to them. All cadets are expected to accept such corrections properly.9 CURRICULUM AND GRADING POLICY9.1 CURRICULUM: The AFJROTC curriculum is based on Aerospace Science, Leadership, Drill and PT. 9.1.1 Aerospace Science (AS). The emphasis is on civilian and military contributions to aviation and the development, modernization, and transformation of the Air Force. An introduction to the world’s cultures through the study of world affairs, regional studies and cultural awareness is covered.9.1.2 Leadership Education (LE). LE is the portion of the AFJROTC curriculum that develops leadership skills and acquaints students with the practical application of life skills. The LE curriculum emphasizes discipline, responsibility, leadership, followership, citizenship, customs and courtesies, cadet corps activities, study habits, time and financial management, communication skills, and drill and ceremonies.9.1.3 Physical Training (PT)/Wellness. PT/Wellness provides leadership opportunities, builds esprit de corps, and increases cadet confidence. The objective is to motivate cadets to lead active lifestyles beyond program requirements into their adult lives and to achieve substantial individual health improvements. Cadets will be evaluated for the Presidential and National Fitness awards during each semester. Cadets will monitor their individual progress during the school year. Cadets are expected to participate in PT unless they have a signed note from their parent/guardian. Inability to participate for more than two consecutive weeks will require a physician’s note. Students not able to participate in the PT program will be expected to complete assignments in the wellness curriculum.9.2 A syllabus will be provided for each course to aid in understanding the course objectives and proposed schedule of instruction.9.3 Grades are based on performance in and out of JROTC class. 9.3.1 Grading is weighted and consists of the following areas:Uniform Wear/Appearance 50%Leadership-in-Action 30%Drill (Attitude/Performance)20%PT/Wellness (Participation/Attitude/Performance) 20%Tests/Quizzes/Presentations/Handbook Reviews20%Final 20% (of overall grade)9.3.2 Grades will be assigned using the Horry County Schools grading system found in the SHS Parent-Student Handbook:90 - 100 = A80 – 89 = B70 – 79 = C60 - 69 = D<60 = F9.3.3 Leadership-In-Action (LIA) Your JROTC performance and behavior in all of your classes/breaks/lunch at SHS will be evaluated daily. Each week, cadets will receive a LIA grade of 100 points if there are no infractions. Your LIA grade will count as 30% of your overall JROTC grade. If a cadet has infractions the following points will be removed from the weekly grades:In/Out of School Suspension/Ditching JROTC_____100Disrespect toward an Instructor or cadet50Detention/Chill-Out50Not participating/Lackadaisical attitude towards studies50Poor Dress/Appearance 30Uniform worn improperly during school day30Inappropriate behavior (sleeping, chewing gum, etc.)30Tardy for class (Unexcused)25Hair not within standards.___________________________25 Materials Missing/Not Prepared 25 9.4 Makeup of assigned work is the sole responsibility of the cadet. If you have been absent, you are expected to ask your instructor the day you return if there is any work you need to make up. If you do not ask, and a quiz, homework, etc., was given on the day(s) you were absent, expect to take a zero for that/those grade(s). You will normally make up the work within 1 day for each day of absence. Students will have up to 1 week to make up a quiz/test/presentation, any student not completing the make-up within 1 week will receive a grade of 0 (zero). If you are not sure if something was missed, ask.9.4.1 In the event you are absent two or more days, discuss with the instructor(s) when you can reasonably be ready to take quizzes. Do not ignore the subject, if you do, you will receive zeroes for the missed work.9.4.2 If you are absent on uniform inspection day, you must make up the inspection your first day back. If you do not wear the uniform at the appropriate time, you will receive a zero for that uniform grade.9.5 ASSIGNMENT FORMAT. All assignments will be in the following format:Cadet/Rank (name-last, first) Flight 9.5.1 Answers must be in complete sentences and legible. Spelling matters! Do not use U for you. 9.6 HOMEWORK POLICY. Getting your uniform inspection ready is your homework for each week.10 LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS??10.1 AFJROTC LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS (LDR) and OTHER EVENTS:? These activities are designed to reinforce portions of the Aerospace and Leadership Education objectives.? They also serve to stimulate cadet involvement in AFJROTC activities and to increase cadet morale and esprit-de-corps.? All guidelines and requirements for these activities will be developed by the SASI/ASI but planned and conducted by the Group staff.? The SASI/ASI will be responsible for the supervision and control of these activities. To participate in any and all LDR activities cadets must have: a. Passing grade in all classes and have SASI/ASI approval; b. No out-of-school or in-school suspension during the semester of the activityc. No unexcused missed weekly uniform inspection prior to the activity10.1.1 COLOR GUARD:? The Color Guard has the honor of presenting the national, state, US Air Force and SC-821 flags at school and community events.?Training for Color Guard will be during the school year as determined by the SASI/ASI and Color Guard Commander. ?10.1.2 DRILL TEAMS (ARMED and UNARMED):? AFJROTC Drill teams will represent SC-821 in drill competition and ceremonial functions. 10.1.3 MARKSMANSHIP TEAM: The Marksmanship Team will represent SC-821 in marksmanship competition. The team will fire .177 caliber CO2-powered pellet guns on a 10-meter rifle firing range.10.1.4 KITTY HAWK AIR SOCIETY (KHAS):? This is the official AFJROTC honor society.? The Society’s purpose is to promote high academic standards, be of service to the school and community, promote self-confidence and initiative, develop leadership abilities, promote academic excellence, encourage educational development in the post high school years, and furthers the knowledge of the Air Force’s role in aerospace education. Membership in the KHAS is limited to 20 percent of the cadet corps. Cadets will be eligible for selection after their first year of AFJROTC. To be selected, cadets must have an “A” average in JROTC and a 3.0 unweighted GPA.10.1.5 RAIDER TEAM: The JROTC Raider Team is a physical fitness team that competes in Raider competitions in the local area. ??10.1.6 CURRICULUM IN ACTION (CIA) TRIPS:? Field trips to Air Force Bases, Air Shows, universities/colleges, etc., are an important part of the AFJROTC curriculum and are highlights of the school year.? Cadets must meet the SHS field trip academic policy to participate with parent/teacher approval (transportation/event costs may be required).? Cadets who are failing other classes will not attend field trips. Transportation or event limitations may sometimes preclude full cadet Group participation.?? 10.1.7 OTHER JROTC ACTIVITIES:?Several social and athletic events will be held, including a Braves Games and a Military Ball. Many additional school and community service projects will be available to the cadets throughout the year.11 FUNDRAISING11.1 FUNDRAISING:? Fundraising activities are conducted to support Corps activities such as the SC-821 scholarship fund, the Military Ball, CIA field trips and items needed to support the JROTC program. All cadets are expected to fully participate in all fundraising activities. In addition to the money generated from these activities, cadets learn teamwork, responsibility, and accountability.? The success of any fundraising campaign depends on the full support of each and every cadet.12 CADET PROMOTION?12.1 The quest for promotions provides constant challenge and motivation to members of the AFJROTC programs.? Earning a promotion is evidence of growing maturity, the ability and willingness to accept additional responsibility, and a demonstrated growth of leadership. 12.2 UMD: The Unit Manning Document will be used to determine the number of Officers/NCOs assigned to SC-821.? The Unit Detail Manning Document in this Guide lists the rank structure for the SC-821 AFJROTC Cadet Group by function, position title, rank, and the number of authorized positions. NOTE: There are fewer cadet jobs than there are cadets in the Group. The intended result is competition for positions.12.3 CADET GROUP LEADERSHIP SELECTION: The SASI/ASI will select the Cadet Group Commander, Deputy Group Commander, Director of Operations, Kitty Hawk Air Society Commander and Command Chief Master Sergeant. The instructors, with the assistance of the incoming Cadet Group Commander, will nominate cadets to other leadership positions. All actions approved by the SASI/ASI will be announced in Special Orders prepared by the Cadet Personnel Officer and published by the Cadet Information Management Officer.12.4 LEADERSHIP POSITION ROTATION: Developing leadership potential is a fundamental part of JROTC. Normal position rotation may happen during the semester as well as after each semester. These personnel movements, to either a higher, lateral, or even lower position are not considered a demotion but are a chance to develop other cadets. ?? 12.5 CADET PROMOTIONS: Each cadet in the SC-821 AFJROTC Cadet Group should understand how cadet promotions are made. All cadet promotions are based on performance. All cadets have an opportunity for qualification and selection for promotion. Cadets are evaluated for promotion by a Cadet Promotion Board based on each Cadet's Promotion Report. 12.6 DEMOTION: Demotion is intended to correct a serious deficiency; it is not punishment. Demotion occurs when a cadet’s rank is lowered because of continued failure to perform prescribed cadet duties, indifference, inaptitude, failure to respond to counseling, disciplinary actions resulting in school suspension or other serious deficiencies in the cadet’s performance. Example: a cadet in an important job ceases to support Group goals when personal goals have been met. Such a cadet is demonstrating selfishness and lack of concern for the greater good of the unit and no longer merits a position of trust and responsibility. Such a cadet would be a prime candidate for demotion. Further action is also possible if the demotion does not result in a correction of performance. Four weeks after the demotion, a cadet may request reinstatement of the rank by sending a letter of request through his/her chain of command for SASI/ASI approval. The letter will state what actions the cadet has taken to prevent future occurrences of the deficiency.EnlistedEligibility CriteriaAssociated Cadet PositionMin TimeCadet Airman Basic C/AB All new CadetsCadet Airman C/Amn (AMN)Minimum 75 in JROTC & LIAPassed Promotion Test2 WeeksCadet Airman First Class C/A1C (AMN)Minimum 75 in JROTC & LIAPassed Promotion Test 3 community service credits9 WeeksCadet Senior Airman C/Sra(AMN)Served 1 Full Quarter in previous rankMinimum 75 in JROTC & LIA Uniform Grade of 75, 9/9 inspectionsMinimum 75 on Promotion/Drill Test3 community service creditsFlight Sergeant1 Full SemesterCadet Staff Sergeant C/SSgt(NCO)Served 2 Full Quarters in previous rankMinimum 85 in JROTC & LIAUniform Grade of 85, 9/9 inspectionsMinimum 85 on Promotion/Drill Test7 community service creditsFlight SergeantSection NCOIC2 Full SemestersCadet Technical SergeantC/TSgt(NCO)Served 2 Full Quarters in previous rankMinimum 85 in JROTC & LIAUniform Grade of 85, 9/9 inspectionsMinimum 85 on Promotion/Drill Test7 community service creditsFlight SergeantSection NCOIC3 Full SemestersCadet Master SergeantC/MSgt(SNCO)Served 2 Full Quarters in previous rankMinimum 90 in JROTC & LIA Uniform Grade of 90, 9/9 inspectionsMinimum 90 on Promotion/Drill Test10 community service creditsFlight SergeantSection NCOIC4 Full SemestersCadet Senior Master SergeantC/SMSgt(SNCO)Served 2 Full Quarters in previous rankMinimum 90 in JROTC & LIAUniform Grade of 90, 9/9 inspectionsMinimum 90 on Promotion/Drill Test10 community service creditsFlight SergeantSection NCOIC5 Full SemestersCadet Chief Master SergeantC/CMSgt(SNCO)Served 2 Full Quarters in previous rankMinimum 95 in JROTC & 95 in LIAUniform Grade of 95, 9/9 inspectionsMinimum 95 on Promotion/Drill Test10 community service creditsSenior Enlisted Advisor6 Full SemestersNotesParticipation on a school athletic team, marching band or musical =7 svc creditsMember of Drill team = 3 svc creditsPerforming in a Color Guard or five morning flag details = 1 svc credit.The C/CMSgt is exempt from uniform inspectionMust also pass PT testOfficerEligibility CriteriaAssociated Cadet PositionMin TimeCadet Second LieutenantC/2dLt(CGO)Successfully Completed CLC or awarded Officer PEP promotionMinimum 90 on Promotion/Drill testMinimum 90 in JROTC & LIAUniform Grade of 90, 9/9 inspections10 community service creditsFlight CommanderSection Officer2 Full SemestersCadet First LieutenantC/1Lt(CGO)Served 2 Full Quarters in previous rankMinimum 90 on Promotion/Drill testMinimum 90 in JROTC & LIAUniform Grade of 90, 9/9 inspections10 community service creditsFlight CommanderSection Officer3 Full SemestersCadet CaptainC/Capt(CGO)Served 2 Full Quarters in previous rankMinimum 90 on Promotion/Drill testMinimum 90 in JROTC & LIAUniform Grade of 90, 9/9 inspections10 community service creditsFlight CommanderSection Officer4 Full SemestersCadet MajorC/Maj(FGO)Served 2 Full Quarters in previous rankMinimum 95 on Promotion/Drill testMinimum of 95 in JROTC & LIAUniform Grade of 95, 9/9 inspections15 community service creditsDirector of Operations5 Full SemestersCadet Lieutenant ColonelC/LtCol(FGO)Served 2 Full Quarters in previous rankMinimum grade of 95 in JROTCUniform Wear 9/915 community service creditsGroup Commander6 Full SemestersCadet ColonelC/ColAs Promoted by SASI/ASISpecial Advisor NotesParticipation on a school athletic team, marching band or musical during a promotion cycle = 7 service creditsMember of Drill team = 3 svc creditsPerforming in a Color Guard or five morning flag details = 1 svc credit.FGOs exempt from uniform inspectionMust also pass PT test?CADET PROMOTION REPORTName________________________________Flight_1S___________2S____________ School year________Beginning Rank/Date 1st QTR_________ 2nd QTR_________ 3rd QTR__________ 4th QTR_________CRITERIA: In order to be promoted a cadet must meet the criteria in evaluation areas.EVALUATION AREAS1st QTR 2nd QTR 3rd QTR4th QTR Passed Passed PassedPassed1.

First year cadets are expected to be able to perform drill and upper classroom are expected to be able to call drill commands. Most drill commands have two parts, the preparatory command and the command of execution. The preparatory command explains what the movement will be. In the command Flight, HALT, the word Flight is the preparatory command. The command of execution follows the preparatory command. The command of execution explains when the movement will be carried out. In Forward, MARCH, the command of execution is MARCH. Some of the drill commands we will use in are listed below.?21.1.1 Position of Attention. To come to attention, bring the heels together smartly and in line with one another. Place the heels as near each other as the conformation of the body permits, and ensure the feet are turned out equally, forming a 45-degree angle. Keep the legs straight without stiffening or locking the knees. The body is erect with hips level, chest lifted, back arched, and shoulders square and even. Arms hang straight down alongside the body without stiffness, and the wrists are straight with the forearms. Place thumbs, which are resting along the first joint of the forefinger, along the seams of the trousers or sides of the skirt. Hands are cupped (but not clenched as a fist) with palms facing the leg. The head is kept erect and held straight to the front with the chin drawn in slightly so the axis of the head and neck is vertical; eyes are to the front, with the line of sight parallel to the ground. The weight of the body rests equally on the heels and balls of both feet, and silence and immobility are required.?21.3.2 Parade Rest. The command is Parade, REST. On the command REST, raise the left foot from the hip just enough to clear the ground and move it smartly to the left so the heels are 12 inches apart, as measured from the inside of the heels. Keep the legs straight, but not stiff, and the heels on line. As the left foot moves, bring the arms, fully extended, to the back of the body, uncupping the hands in the process; and extend and join the fingers, pointing them toward the ground. The palms will face outwards. Place the right hand in the palm of the left, right thumb over the left to form an “X”. Keep head and eyes straight ahead, and remain silent and immobile.?21.3.3 Right (Left) Face. The commands are Right (Left), FACE. On the command FACE, raise the right (left) toe and left (right) heel slightly and pivot 90 degrees to the right (left) on the ball of the left (right) foot and the heel of the right (left) foot, assisted by slight pressure on the ball of the left (right) foot. Keep legs straight, but not stiff. The upper portion of the body remains at attention. This completes count one of the movement. Next, bring the left (right) foot smartly forward, ensuring heels are together and on line. Feet should now be forming a 45-degree angle, which means the position of attention has been resumed. This completes count two of the movement.?21.3.4?About Face. The command is About, FACE. On the command FACE, lift the right foot from the hip just enough to clear the ground. Without bending the knees or excessive leg swing, place the ball of the right foot approximately half a shoe length behind and slightly to the left of the heel. Distribute the weight of the body on the ball of the right foot and the heel of the left foot. Keep both legs straight, but not stiff. The position of the foot 18 AFMAN36-2203 19 JUNE 2018 has not changed. This completes count one of the movement. Keeping the upper portion of the body at the position of attention, pivot 180 degrees to the right on the ball of the right foot and heel of the left foot, with a twisting motion from the hips. Suspend arm swing during the movement, and remain as though at attention. On completion of the pivot, heels should be together and on line and feet should form a 45-degree angle. The entire body is now at the position of attention. This completes count two of the movement.21.3.5 Present/Order Arms. The command is PRESENT, ARMS, and it is performed in two counts. On the command ARMS, the individual raises the right hand smartly in the most direct manner while at the same time extending and joining the fingers. Keep the palm flat and facing the body. Place the thumb along the forefingers, keeping the palm flat and forming a straight line between the fingertips and elbows. Tilt the palm slightly toward the face. Hold the upper arm horizontal, slightly forward of the body and parallel to the ground. Ensure the tip of the middle finger touches the right front corner of the headdress. If wearing a non-billed hat, ensure the middle finger touches the outside corner of the right eyebrow or the front corner of glasses. The rest of the body will remain at the position of attention. After the preparatory command of ORDER, and on the command ARMS, bring the arm smoothly and smartly downward, retracing the path used to raise the arm. Cup the hand as it passes the waist, and return to the position of attention.??21.3.6?? Forward March. To march forward in quick time from a halt, the command is FORWARD, MARCH. On the command MARCH, step off straight ahead with the left foot, taking a 24- inch step (measured from heel to heel), and places the heel on the ground first. When stepping off and while marching, use coordinated arm swing; that is, right arm forward with the left leg and left arm forward with the right leg. Cup the hands with the thumbs pointed down, hang arms straight but not stiff and swing the arms naturally. Measure the swing 6 inches to the front (measured from the rear of the hand to the front of the thigh) and 3 inches to the rear (measured from the front of the hand to the back of the thigh). Maintain proper dress, cover, interval, and distance and adhere to cadence. 21.3.7 Halt On the command HALT, the Airman will take one more 24-inch step. Next, the trailing foot will be brought smartly alongside the front foot. The heels will be together, on line, and form a 45-degree angle.

A grade of zero (0) will be given if a cadet does not wear the uniform on inspection day. The inspection grade can be made up by wearing the uniform any day before the next scheduled inspection. However, 10 points will be deducted for each day after the original inspection date. For example, if the uniform inspection day is Wednesday and the uniform is not worn until Tuesday of the following week, sixty (60) will be the highest grade possible (minus forty (40) points due to 4 days late. If a cadet is absent on inspection day, he/she will wear the uniform the first day they return to school and ask their Flight Commander to be inspected that day. Double points will be deducted if the infraction is a repeat from the prior week’s inspection. Cadets will wear the uniform all day unless previous arrangements have been made with the SASI/ASI – IF NOT WORN ALL DAY A GRADE OF ZERO WILL REPLACE THE GRADE GIVEN DURING THE INSPECTION.
