4 The North Carolina 20066th Air Force Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (AFJROTC) was established at Northwest Cabarrus High School in August 2006, establishing a rich tradition of teamwork and individual excellence. Whether your interests are to learn more about aviation, to work with others as a group, to develop your own leadership skills or to learn citizenship by volunteering to help your community, this program will provide you the opportunities to meet your goals. Lieutenant Colonel Calvin Martin, your Senior Aerospace Science Instructor (SASI) and Senior Master Sergeant Corinne Smith, your Aerospace Science Instructor (ASI) look forward to working with each one of you. Calvin T. Martin, Lt Col, USAF (R) Corinne M. Smith, SMSgt, USAF (R) Senior Aerospace Science Instructor Aerospace Science Instructor FORMULATION OF CADET UNIT AND FLIGHT GOALS 1. Formulation of Cadet Unit and Flight Goals. All goals will be cadet-inspired, not instructor-inspired. 1.1 Unit Goals. Goals are divided into three broad categories: two goals are related to the cadet corps, two related to the school, and two related to the local community. One of the two cadet goals will be related to the quest for academic excellence within the cadet corps itself. One of the two school goals will address recruiting and retention of cadets in the unit. One of the two community goals will be oriented to providing service and getting cadets involved in service related programs. The other goal in each category may may address specific, unique unit challenges or aspirations based on local conditions. The cadet group commander and cadet deputy group commander are responsible for finalizing the unit goals and submitting them into WINGS within the first two weeks of each semester. When determining the unit goals, we will use the suggested goal setting process outlined in para. 1.3. 1.2. Flight Goals. After the unit goals are established, within the next two weeks each flight will establish two flight goals. The cadet flight commander and cadet flight sergeant for each flight are responsible for finalizing the flight goals. When determining the flight goals, an attempt to link flight goals to one of the overall unit goals is highly encouraged. Also, use the suggested goal setting process outlined in para 1.3. Page 1

5 1.3. Suggested Goal Setting Process. 1.3.1. Cadet leadership will take the lead in goal formulation and writing. However, the more cadets that are involved in goal formulation the better. It is called “buy in.” Leadership should start out the process by possibly teaching a leadership education lesson on the importance of goal setting and its use to the cadet corps. Then get input on what goals will be most beneficial. Suggest using a brainstorming session to get those ideas. Ask some leading questions to get them thinking like: “What is our greatest challenge in our cadet corps?” “How can the corps truly make a difference in our school?” “What could we do to help make things better in our community?” “What would you like to see us doing that you’ve seen in other JROTCs or school programs?” 1.3.2. Once your ideas are collected from all your classes, cadet leadership will need to group the ideas. Categorize each idea as to which of the major categories it supports (cadet, school, community). 1.3.4. Prepare a ballot for the cadet corps to get their opinion on which goals are going to be the best for the following year. This should be given out to all the cadets in the classes and to all the cadets on reserve status. Leadership will review the ballots and select the highest ranked idea in each of the categories (cadet, school, and community). 1.3.5. Now it’s time for the cadet leaders to write their goals. Written goals need to have several essential (SMART) components. Make your goal S pecific, not written in general terms. What exactly do you want to accomplish? Make your written goal M easurable. You need a way to qualitatively evaluate your goal accomplishment. Your goal must require A ction on the part of corps members. It should not be something that will happen as a result of some outside-the-unit or school administration action. The goal should be Realistic. Is it within the ability of the cadet corps to reach? Does the corps have the ability to control the outcome or is this something imposed from outside the organization? Finally, the goal has a T ime constraint. When do you hope to complete the goal? Ideally, all unit goals should be able to be completed by 30 April of the school year. 1.3.6. After the cadet leadership writes their goals, they will review the goals with the cadets within the unit or flight, so that they can help edit them or ask questions that would clarify what is to be accomplished. Once the unit goals are finalized, the cadet group commander and deputy group commander will Page 2

6 enter them into WINGS, under SASI/ASI oversight, by 10 October of the school year, as well as post them to the classroom bulletin board. Flight goals must be finalized by 10 October (1 st Semester) or 10 February (2 nd Semester); the cadet flight commander and cadet flight sergeant will post the goals to the classroom bulletin board. 1.3.7. Timelines will be developed for each unit and flight goal by the commander responsible for the goal. Figure 1, Timeline Goal Template is a suggested timeline to use which can be obtained from the ASI. Important items that should be reflected in the timeline are desired results, date to be completed, actions to take, cadets responsible and resources needed. Timelines will be maintained in a unit or flight folder, will be monitored on a weekly basis, and updated as necessary. Cadet flight commanders will brief their respective flights on flight goal progress at least once a week. Cadet group commander and/or cadet deputy group commander will brief the unit at least once every two weeks. 1.3.8. Once a flight or unit goal is completed, celebrate the accomplishment! This can be done through recognition, website announcement, or any other creative means approved by the SASI/ASI. Once a unit goal is accomplished, the cadet group commander and cadet deputy group commander will complete the WINGS entry reflecting completion, with SASI/ASI oversight. By 10 April of each school year, the cadet group commander and cadet deputy group commander are required to complete unit goal accomplishment in WINGS for all unit goals.

7 Page 4 PLANNING AND EXECUTING CADET PROGRAMS 2. Planning and Executing Cadet Programs. Cadets within the JROTC program at NCHS take great pride in the fact that all programs are cadet initiated, planned, led, executed and documented. In order to be as effective as possible, in August of the upcoming school year, leadership cadets will meet and develop a calendar of events for the upcoming year. 2.1. The calendar of events will be developed by cadet leadership for the entire school year. It will include Military Ball, CIA trips, all Drill Team/Color Guard/Saber Team events, Award Ceremonies and all community service projects. The calendar of events will be posted in the classroom and on the school website. 2.2. Cadets will be assigned responsibility of events throughout the year. The Cadet-in charge will be provided a checklist by the ASI with training provided to successfully complete the event. Full completion may result in award of the Cocurricular Activities Ribbon. 2.3. The Cadet-in-charge will be responsible to develop a chronological checklist of things that need to be done to execute the project/program. This checklist will be maintained in a continuity book that can be used by other cadets for similar or reoccurring projects. Therefore, it is important for the Cadet-in-charge to accurately record what was accomplished and who helped to make the project come off successfully. CADETS PROMOTIONS, RANKS AND ROTATION 3. Cadet Promotions, Rank and Rotation 3.1. Promotion Consideration. 3.1.1. Flight Commanders must monitor the performance of their cadets and make promotion recommendations to the SASI/ASI that are timely and performance-based. Not attaining a passing grade in the JROTC program, failing to properly wear the uniform or serving out-of-school suspensions are appropriate reasons to not recommend or support a cadet for promotion. For the ranks of C/Amn to C/SrA, individual promotion tests and drill tests will be conducted by the Cadet Flight Commander. For the ranks of C/SSgt to C/SMSgt and C/1 Lt to C/Lt Colonel, the cadet must complete individual promotion tests and drill tests prior to meeting a Cadet Evaluation Board (CEB). For the ranks of C/CMSgt and C/Colonel, the cadet must complete individual promotion tests and drill tests prior to promotion consideration. For the rank of C/2 nd Lt, the cadet must have achieved the rank of C/SSgt.

8 3.1.2. Promotion Criteria. In addition to passing written/demonstration tests, cadets must maintain at least a C- (77-79%) in JROTC class at the time of promotion and have no negative indicators (letters of counseling, suspensions, etc) for the past month prior to date of promotion. Once promoted, a cadet cannot be promoted to the next rank until one month from date of last promotion. For example, if promoted to C/Amn on 8 Oct, the earliest consideration for promotion to C/A1C is 8 Nov. 3.1.3. Normal Progression. ASIC/AB to C/SSgt ASIIC/Amn to C/CMSgt ASIIIC/A1C to C/Captain ASIVC/SrA to C/Colonel 3.2.Promotion Process 3.2.1. Promotion to C/Amn – C/SrA. Promotion tests for these ranks are located in the files in the back of the classroom. Coordinate with your cadet flight commander to schedule a date/time to take your next promotion to these ranks. Specifically, tests for promotion are: To C/Amn: Recite JROTC Code of Honor and demonstrate basic drill of parade rest, attention and saluting. To C/A1C: Recite Chain of Command to 90% and perform basic drill for all facing movements. To C/SrA: Written test on JROTC rank to 90% and perform all drill marching movements. 3.2.2. Promotion to C/SSgt – C/CMSgt. Cadets desiring to be promoted to NCO ranks must meet the CEB and have completed the drill test within 3 weeks prior to the CEB. Cadets may meet the board one week prior to their earliest date for promotion to the next rank. For example, if promoted to C/SrA on 8 October, the earliest date the cadet can meet the board is 1 November. Drill tests may be conducted by the Cadet Flight Commander, Cadet Drill Team/Color Guard Commander, Cadet Squadron Commander, Cadet First Sergeant, Cadet Stan/Eval Commander or Cadet Group/Deputy Group Commander. Additionally, the cadet acting as the drill evaluator must outrank the cadet being evaluated. If no cadet outranks the cadet Page 5

9 Page 6 being evaluated, the SASI/ASI will be the drill evaluator. The drill tests are as follows: To C/SSgt – Be able to perform the 30-step drill sequence, calling it to themselves. This will demonstrate the cadet has memorized the 30-step sequence and can perform all steps. The cadet must score a 100% in demonstrating memorization of the drill sequence and at least 85% in performing the drill movements. To C/TSgt – The cadet must call the 30-step drill sequence to a flight of at least nine cadets. The cadet must score a 100% in demonstrating memorization of the drill sequence and at least 85% in performing the drill movements from the Cadet Flight Commander’s position. To C/MSgt – The cadet must call the 30-step drill sequence to a flight of at least 12 cadets. The cadet must score a 100% in demonstrating memorization of the drill sequence and at least 90% in performing the drill movements from the Cadet Flight Commander’s position. To C/SMSgt – The cadet must perform an open-ranks inspection to a flight of at least 9 cadets with a score of at least 90%. Additionally, the cadet must perform the 30-step drill sequence with a flight of at least 9 cadets, scoring at least 90% in performing the drill movements from the cadet flight commander’s position. To C/CMSgt. Cadets desiring to be promoted to this rank must meet the CEB, followed by a separate evaluation with the SASI. The same criteria exists for meeting the board as for promotion to C/SMSgt, however, the open-ranks inspection and 30-step drill sequence must be conducted with 12 cadets. Additionally, the cadet must have earned the recruitment ribbon. 3.2.3. Promotion to C/2 nd Lt. Cadets must have been awarded the Leadership School Ribbon prior to consideration for C/2 nd Lt and have attained the rank of C/SSgt. The SASI will determine promotion to C/2 nd Lt based on unit needs. 3.2.4. Promotion to C/1 st Lt – Colonel. Cadets desiring to be promoted to officer ranks must meet the CEB and have completed the drill test within 4 weeks prior to the CEB. Cadets may not meet the board until their 30 days have been completed in their current rank. Drill tests may be conducted by the Cadet Flight Commander, Cadet Drill Team/Color Guard Commander, Cadet Squadron Commander, Cadet Stan/Eval Commander or Cadet Group/Deputy Group Commander AS LONG AS the evaluating cadet outranks the cadet being evaluated. If no cadet outranks the cadet being evaluated, the SASI/ASI will be the drill evaluator. The drill tests are as follows:

10 To C/1 st Lt – The cadet must perform the 30-step drill sequence with at least 90% score in drill movements, as well as call a flight of at least 9 cadets with a 100% in demonstrating memorization of the drill sequence and at least 90% in performing the drill movements from the Cadet Flight Commander’s position. To C/Capt – The cadet must perform the 30-step drill sequence with at least 95% score in drill movements, as well as call a flight of at least 12 12 cadets with a 100% in demonstrating memorization of the drill sequence and at least 95% in performing the drill movements from the Cadet Flight Commander’s position. Additionally, the cadet must have planned and organized a JROTC activity approved by the SASI/ASI within the last 90 days. To C/Major – The cadet must perform the 30-step drill sequence with at least 95% score in drill movements, as well as call a flight of at least 12 cadets with a 100% in demonstrating memorization of the drill sequence and at least 95% in performing the drill movements from the Cadet Flight Commander’s position. Additionally, the cadet must have planned and organized a JROTC activity approved by the SASI/ASI within the last 90 days, different than the one conducted for C/Capt, and have earned the recruitment ribbon. To C/Lt Col - The cadet must perform the 30-step drill sequence with at least 95% score in drill movements, as well as call a flight of at least 12 cadets with a 100% in demonstrating memorization of the drill sequence and at least 95% in performing the drill movements from the Cadet Flight Commander’s position. Additionally, the cadet must have planned and organized a JROTC activity approved by the SASI/ASI within the last 90 days, different than the one conducted for C/Major, and have earned the recruitment ribbon. To C/Colonel - Cadets desiring to be promoted to this rank must meet the CEB followed by a separate evaluation by the SASI. When meeting the CEB, the SASI will select the board members – it could even be our principal! The cadet must perform the 30-step drill sequence with at least 95% score in drill movements, as well as call a flight of at least 12 cadets with a 100% in demonstrating memorization of the drill sequence and at least 95% in performing the drill movements from the Cadet Flight Commander’s position. Additionally, the cadet must have planned and organized a JROTC activity approved by the SASI/ASI within the last 60 days; this activity cannot be the same activity as performed for C/Lt Colonel. Also, the cadet must have performed cadre status at a leadership school. Page 7

11 3.3. Promotion Board Procedures. The purpose of the NC-20066 CEB is to select and screen cadets for recommended promotions with AFJROTC instructor concurrence. 3.3.1. CEB Members. Board members will comprise of a Board President (highest ranking senior leader), two Board Panel Members and a Board Administrator, with an AFJROTC instructor present during cadet boards to offer advice and ensure proper procedures are followed. The senior leadership positions that may be represented are: Cadet Group Commander, Cadet Deputy Group Commander, Cadet First Sergeant, Cadet Drill Commander, Cadet Color Guard Commander, Cadet Flight Commanders, Cadet Squadron Commanders, Cadet Stan/Eval Commander and Cadet Senior Projects Officer. At least one member of the board must outrank the cadet meeting the board. If no board member outranks the cadet meeting the board, the SASI/ASI will consider the circumstances and take fair, appropriate action, possibly asking an assistant principal to sit on the board! 3.3.1.1. Responsibilities of Board President. The ranking leadership position attending the board will be designated as the Board President. He/she will be responsible to set-up the board, to coordinate with other board members on their responsibilities and oversee the board process and recommendations. 3.3.1.2. Responsibilities of Board Panel Members. Board Panel Members will assist the Board President as requested, providing input and recommendations for promotion. 3.3.1.3. Responsibilities of Board Administrator. An additional senior leader will be present to assist in ensuring compilation of promotion packages, room set-up and board time management. For officer promotions, this position can be performed by the Cadet First Sergeant. 3.3.2. Board Process. 3.3.2.1. Meeting time and place will be determined by the Board President with approval of the SASI/ASI. All CEB members and SASI/ASI must be present before a promotion board may convene. All CEB members must review the cadet personnel file for each cadet meeting the board. This file contains their rank, awards, events performed, merits/demerits, promotion evaluations and any other pertinent information from WINGS for promotion consideration. 3.3.2.2. Any cadet meeting the board will “Report In” to the Board President immediately upon entering the room. The cadet will then be instructed to have a seat and be asked to introduce themselves and brief on their responsibilities and/or accomplishments in the JROTC program. The cadet Page 8

12 will then be asked questions applicable to their rank and position within the program, preselected by the Board President. See Question Bank in Figure 2 for possible general questions. Other questions can be taken from the cadet personnel file, for example, events the cadet has performed or jobs assigned to the cadet. Once dismissed, the cadet will “Report Out” to the Board President and exit the room. During the evaluation, the cadet and board members are expected to maintain proper military bearing and appearance. 3.3.2.3. The Board President and each Board Panel Member will complete a Cadet Evaluation Board Checklist. Checklists maintained in the continuity folder for Promotion Boards. It will be tallied by the Board President, ensuring points awarded are within a reasonable difference. Any major difference should be discussed among the CEB members. Each panel member will then either recommend or non-recommend the cadet for promotion. 3.3.2.4. The SASI/ASI will review all packages and make the final endorsement. 3.3.2.5. Any cadet who is not recommended for promotion will be informed by the SASI/ASI with recommendations from the board on how/what to improve. 3.3.2.6. To sign up for a CEB, ensure you have met the promotion requirements, with your drill tests filed in the Promotion Continuity Book, then sign-up on the sheet located on the front classroom bulletin board. Once a date and time has been set for the board, the cadets requesting the CEB will be notified. If a cadet is unable to meet the scheduled board meeting, they must notify the Board President no later than 24 hours prior to the scheduled board. Failure to notify the Board President, unless deemed an excused emergency by the SASI/ASI will result in a demerit and possible delay of two weeks to meet the next promotion board. 3.4. Temporary and Permanent Rank. 3.4.1. Permanent rank is the basic and lowest rank an AS I, II, III or IV cadet may wear as set forth in Air Force JROTC Instruction 36-1. Specifically, upon completion of your AS I class, your permanent rank is C/Amn; completion of AS II class, C/A1C; completion of AS III class, C/SrA; completion of AS IV class, C/SSgt. Page 9

13 3.4.2. Temporary rank is that rank to which an AS I, II, III or IV cadet may be promoted above his/her permanent rank and is based on demonstrated performance and associated with increased responsibility and positions on the Unit Manpower Document (UMD). Cadets not performing satisfactorily may be required by the SASI to revert back to permanent rank. Cadets may only wear rank after orders are published. Refer to normal progression in paragraph 3.1.3 in this training guide. 3.5. Rotation. Element leaders and guides may be rotated within the flight to provide leadership opportunities. Cadet Group, Squadron and Flight Commanders and Cadet Staff OICs will not normally be rotated within a semester. The SASI will have final approval on any rotations or removals made. Question Bank 1. Specifically, why do you feel you should be promoted? 2. First, recite the Code of Honor. Secondly, how do you enforce the Code of Honor? 3. What is an area of the JROTC program that you feel could be changed or improved? Explain your answer. 4. What would you suggest to increase cadet participation in JROTC activities? 5. Good academic grades are emphasized within our program. How are you setting the example in academics? 6. How has the JROTC program encouraged you to maintain good grades and a positive attitude? 7. What are your strengths as a leader? 8. What do you feel are your weaknesses as a leader? 9. What are some advantages that you have discovered to be a member of the JROTC program? 10. Select an event that the cadet performed, then ask the student to explain what was most beneficial for them in participating in the event. 11. What actions have you taken to increase recruitment in the JROTC program? 12. Ask the cadet to recite the Chain of Command. 13. Describe the uniform requirements for males and females regarding hair styles? 14. You’ve heard the term, Lead By Example. What does that mean to you and how have you done that? 15.Your assigned duty in the chain of command is _______________. What have you done in that capacity to improve or maintain the JROTC program? Figure 2. Question Bank for Promotion Boards Page 10

14 CADETS AWARDS 4. Cadet Awards. The Cadet Awards and Decorations program is designed to promote morale, incentive and esprit de corps by recognizing cadets for their contributions to the unit, the school and the community. In this chapter is an explanation of locally-developed awards that can be earned by all cadets. For an explanation of specific ribbons and national awards, refer to Chapter 8 in this training guide. 4.1. Flight of the Month. Flight competition encourages teamwork and rewards team excellence; therefore, flights will compete for the Flight of the Month Award. Beginning the first day through the last day for each month, flights will be assessed on 5 areas; the flight with the highest points received for that month will be awarded a streamer for their guidon and a flight prize determined by the SASI/ASI. The areas for competition and their relative values toward the award are as follows: Areas of CompetitionPercentage - Academics 25% (Academics will be based on grades in aerospace science and leadership education) - Uniform Inspections 25% (Uniform inspections will be based on the individual uniform inspections conducted weekly) - Drill Test 20% (A final test will be conducted monthly) - Flight Goal Achievement 15% (The class average for goal completion will be assessed a point value based on a point paper provided by the Flight Commander to the Squadron Operations Commander on goal progress) - Extracurricular Activities 15% (Extracurricular participation will be awarded for the percentage of cadets in a flight at each AFJROTC extracurricular activity) 4.2. Cadet of the Month Award. In order to encourage individual accomplishment and academic success, a Cadet of the Month program has been implemented to recognize one cadet from each flight for each month. Each cadet will be judged on a weighted scale split into the following two categories: Academics at 60% and Uniform Inspections at 40%. The designated Cadet of the Month will be recognized at the beginning of the following month with a certificate, a picture posted in the classroom and other recognition at the SASI/ASI’s discretion. Page 11

15 4.3. Ace of Aces Award. This award will recognize one cadet each semester at the Semester Awards ceremony. It will recognize the cadet within the unit with the most 100% test grades beginning the first day through the week before the semester awards. 4.4. Silver Award. This award recognizes one cadet for the entire year who epitomizes the AF and AFJROTC core values. The SASI will select the cadet who demonstrates exceptional involvement in the school and local community, as well as uniform wear, positive attitude, and professionalism. CADET DISCIPLINE 5. Cadet Discipline. The nature of the JROTC mission, as well as its high visibility within the school and community, requires its members to adhere to higher standards than normally found among the student population. 5.1. Authority, Self-Discipline and Integrity. 5.1.1. Authority. 5.1.1.1 All students signing up in the JROTC program must understand they have volunteered to accept the military rank structure used within the program. Therefore, all cadets will abide by the authority associated with rank and position within the unit. All cadets are expected to follow the directions of senior-ranking cadets. However, senior-ranking cadets WILL NOT abuse this authority; cadets with discipline or authority issues will be referred to the SASI/ASI. 5.1.1.2. Hazing is not permitted in the JROTC program. Hazing is defined as harassment by abusive or embarrassing treatment. If at any time, a cadet feels they are being hazed or bullied, it needs to be immediately reported to the SASI/ASI. 5.1.2. Self-Discipline. Self-discipline is one of the principle concepts in the military and within the JROTC program. It allows each cadet to accept the use of authority mentioned in paragraph 5.1.1. Self-discipline is required by each cadet when he/she follows orders, shows proper courtesies, uses the proper form of addressing others, wears the uniform properly and performs directed duties. Page 12

16 5.1.3. Integrity is a firm adherence to a set of shared moral values; it is the cornerstone of the JROTC program. Integrity is knowing and doing what is right and what is expected of you, even if no one is watching you. It is that sense of ‘right’ versus ‘wrong’ and is the foundation of trust and respect within any team or unit. A cadet’s integrity allows others to know you will do the best you can, and that your word can be trusted. Cadets who fail to learn or display integrity cannot expect to advance into leadership roles. 5.2. Classroom Rules. In order to remain in the JROTC program, cadets must, as a minimum: 1) conform to all customs, courtesies, training requirements and professional responsibilities, 2) maintain a class academic average of C, an overall GPA of D and/or recommendation by the SASI/ASI to progress to the next JROTC course semester. 5.2.1. Cadet participation is the key to esprit de corps and is vital to your learning and enjoyment during the school year. To make the most of your education, cadets are expected to attend class on a daily basis, come to class prepared for the day’s work, and contact the SASI/ASI to arrange for known forthcoming absences or to make-up unexpected absences. 5.2.2. All cadets are encouraged to take an active interest in and participate in as many AFJROTC extracurricular activities as possible. Activity and participation points will be awarded to those who are involved for eligibility of various AFJROTC ribbons. It is mandatory for all cadets to participate in at least two AFJROTC extracurricular activities; failure to do so, without parent/teacher coordination will result in a failure for bearing/ citizenship, which is 10% of the academic grade. The JROTC website lists all extracurricular activities, as well as listen to classroom announcements on upcoming events. At any time you may check with the SASI/ASI on upcoming events and your grade. 5.2.3. All cadets will abide by the NCHS classroom rules, to include following: - No gum chewing, eating food, or drinking in the classroom. - Do not put feet on chairs or desks nor sit on desks. Keep all four legs of the chairs on the floor. - No sleeping (stand up in the back of the room if needed) - Do not enter SASI/ASI office or supply rooms unless accompanied by the SASI/ASI or senior cadet officer. - Sit in assigned seats unless given permission to move by the SASI, ASI or flight commander. - Stand at ‘attention’ during Pledge of Allegiance and roll call. Page 13

17 - Respect your fellow cadets. - Keep your desks and classroom area clean. Book bags should be stored neatly under your desk, not in the aisle or on your desk. - By exception, bathroom breaks may be taken with the approval of the SASI/ASI. Use good judgment on when to ask to use the bathroom. - Remain in the classroom until dismissed by the SASI/ASI or the flight commander. - Cell phones must be turned off, unless the instructor states they may be used for classroom activities. If a cell phone ‘goes off’ in class it will be taken and turned into the front office. 5.2.4. Consequences for failing to follow classroom rules and procedures include, but are not limited to: warnings, parental contact, control room, after-school detention, and/or referrals to school administrators for additional consequences. Always remember, your conduct not only represents your character, but also represents the JROTC program and Northwest Cabarrus High School. 5.3. Merit and Demerit System. 5.3.1. Merit System. The purpose of the Merit System is to encourage cadet ownership to their unit, as well as a means to recognize the cadets within the corp. Cadets who demonstrate their duties in an exceptional manner, demonstrate a superior attitude, or other positive reasons my be recognized by a merit. The following process will be used for the issuing of merits. 5.3.1.1. Anyone in a cadet’s chain of command may issue a merit to a cadet. Also, any officer may issue a merit to any cadet and the Cadet First Sergeant may issue a merit to any enlisted cadet. 5.3.1.2. Merits will be issued using the Merit Report, Figure 3. Copies of the Merit Report are filed in the staff room. The cadet issuing the Merit Report will ensure it is signed and reviewed by the cadet receiving the merit. Once the Merit Report is completed by both cadets, the cadet issuing the report will ensure it is turned in to the Cadet Group Commander or Cadet Deputy Group Commander. Once the merit has been reviewed by the SASI/ASI, the ASI will ensure the Cadet First Sergeant receives the Merit Report for filing in the cadet’s personnel file as well as annotation for upcoming promotion boards. 5.3.2. Demerit System. The purpose of the Demerit System is to continue to encourage cadet ownership to their unit, as well as a means to identify and respond appropriately to negative behavior. Prior to issuing a demerit, cadets are encouraged to talk with the cadet demonstrating the negative Page 14

18 behavior first, before issuing a written demerit. Demerits should be issued for cadets who repeatedly demonstrate a negative behavior, disregard classroom rules, fail to perform their duties or responsibilities assigned to them, or other negative reasons that detract from the overall performance of the unit. The process to issue a demerit is the same as the merit system, paragraphs 5.3.1.1 – 5.3.1.2. See Figures 4 and 4A, Demerit Report. 5.4. Discipline Boards. Discipline boards may be conducted to review a cadet’s negative performance for consideration for demotion and/or removal from an assigned position on the unit manning document. Any action by a cadet that reflects discredit upon the JROTC program, the school and/or the community or whose behavior negatively impacts unit performance can be a reason for a discipline board. The following process will be used for a discipline board. 5.4.1. The Cadet Group Commander will request a discipline board. The SASI will have final approval to conduct a discipline board. 5.4.2. Once approved by the SASI to conduct a discipline board, the Cadet Group Commander will ensure date, time and panel members to be on the board are coordinated. At least 3 other officers must be on the board, all of which are in the chain of command for the cadet meeting the board. 5.4.3. Once the date, time and panel members are determined, the Cadet Group Commander will notify, in writing, the cadet meeting the board. If the cadet meeting the board is unable to meet the board on the designated date, every opportunity should be made to reschedule the board date. If problems continue with scheduling, the SASI will make the final determination. 5.4.4. For the discipline board, the Cadet Group Commander will be the Board President. The SASI or ASI must be present during the board process. The cadet meeting the board will report in. The Board President will brief the cadet the reason for the discipline board, then allow the cadet to explain/defend himself or herself. The panel members may ask questions at any time to get clarification of the cadet’s responses. Once the panel members feel they have enough information to make a, recommendation, the cadet meeting the board will be excused. The Board President will ensure a final recommendation is made regarding the cadet’s discipline action and pass this decision to the SASI or ASI in attendance. The SASI will have final approval for any recommendation made by the discipline board. 5.4.5. Once the SASI has made his decision, the Cadet Group Commander will meet, in person, with the cadet who met the board notifying him/her of the results of the board, in writing. The SASI or ASI will also be in attendance at this meeting. Additionally, the results of the discipline board will be filed in the cadet’s personnel file by the Cadet Group Commander. Page 15

22 5.5. Textbooks and Color Guard/Drill Equipment. The AFJROTC Headquarters has authorized NC-20066 to requisition, receive, store, issue and account for Air Force equipment issued to NCHS for JROTC use. Any equipment, to include uniforms, books, ropes, berets, etc., issued to a cadet is the responsibility of that cadet. Hand-receipts or other documentation will be generated by the JROTC instructors for any Air Force or school equipment issued. Each cadet in receipt of any JROTC or school item is the sole responsible person and may be charged the cost of the item if it is lost, stolen or damaged. CORPS EXCELLENCE AND OPPORTUNITIES 6. Corps Excellence. Our AFJROTC program at Northwest strives to develop model citizens, while in or after school, as well as upon graduation. This is why our cadets are looked to as students who set and model the standards of excellence, not only in academics, but in attendance, graduation and lower discipline referrals. 6.1. Core Values. The foundation of the AF JROTC lies in the core values of the Air Force. These values serve as cornerstones for our structure and our performance. The USAF Core Values are: Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do. 6.1.1. The mission of the AFJROTC is to develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community. 6.1.2. The mission of NC-20066 is to build future citizens of character by emphasizing the value of education and leadership while applying the principles of self-discipline, self-sacrifice and teamwork. 6.1.3. The Air Force JROTC Code of Honor is “I will attempt to live my life by the highest moral standards, specifically, I will not lie, cheat or steal, nor tolerate those who do.” 6.2. Military Bearing and Conduct. The JROTC program is a military environment. Therefore, cadets will follow military customs and courtesies. 6.2.1. All students enrolled in the classroom will be called “Cadets”. For example when addressing another student, you would say “Cadet Smith” or “Cadet Brown”. The SASI and the ASI will be addressed as “sir” or “ma’am” or by their proper rank, “Colonel Martin” or “Sergeant Smith”. Page 19

23 6.2.2. When outside in uniform, the military courtesy is to salute an officer. Therefore, cadets will salute the SASI, and other officer cadets. 6.2.3. When in uniform, cadets will not engage in public displays of affection, known as PDA. This includes hand-holding, hugging and kissing. 6.3. Health and Wellness Program. Fridays are designated for health and wellness. The Cadet Physical Fitness NCO for each flight will plan and lead exercises, as well as document and assess the fitness results for cadets within their flight. The Health Wellness Continuity Book maintained in the cadet staff room has a lesson plan which should be used by the Cadet Physical Fitness NCO. This includes a Safety Briefing and Wellness exercises and activities. 6.3.2 At the beginning of each semester, a fitness baseline assessment will be conducted following the Presidential Fitness guidelines maintained in Wings. It is the responsibility of the Physical Fitness NCO to conduct the Presidential Fitness Tests, enter the results into Wings, and provide the results to the cadets within their flight. The ASI will oversee entries made into Wings. 6.3.3. At the end of each semester, a final fitness assessment will be conducted following the Presidential Fitness guidelines. As in the baseline, the Cadet Physical Fitness NCO is responsible to conduct, assess and document the results. The goal is for each cadet to show an improvement in their overall fitness assessment. 6.3.4. The overall health and safety of all the cadets is very important. Therefore, all cadets must have a Cadet Health/Wellness Program Participation Consent Form on file, which will be reviewed by the SASI/ASI as well as the school nurse prior to a cadet’s participation in the Health and Wellness program. 6.4. Recruitment Program. In recruiting and retention of cadets, cadet leaders must be involved in promoting the JROTC program – simply stated: cadets who help recruit and retain cadets are the foundation of a viable unit. 6.5. Drill Teams, Color Guards and Saber Teams. Any cadet may participate in the drill team, color guard or saber teams. Practices are normally on Tuesday and Thursday from 2:30 – 4:00 pm. Page 20

24 6.5.1. The Drill Team consists of armed and unarmed drill. The Drill Team primarily competes at in-state and out-of-state drill competitions, and will perform at school and community events if requested. To be considered to be a member of the Drill Team, a cadet must attend at least 75% of the practices. A black beret will be issued to cadets who become a member of the Drill Team after the cadets’ 6 th practice. This beret will be turned in upon request. 6.5.2. The Color Guard consists of flag bearers and guards. The Color Guard primarily performs at school and community events, such as presentation of colors and parades, and will compete at in-state and out-of-state competitions. To be a member of the Color Guard, a cadet must demonstrate proficiency in armed drill movements. 6.5.3. The Saber Team consists of the commander and bearers. The Saber Team primarily performs at school and community events, such as school senior nights, graduations and parades. To be a member of the Saber Team, a cadet must demonstrate proficiency in saber movements. 6.6. Reserve Cadet Program. The purpose of the Reserve Cadet Program is to enhance visibility within the school and to encourage year-round extra- curricular activity participation for those students who wish to be involved the entire school year. 6.6.1. Cadet s who are enrolled in a JROTC academic class may elect to be on reserve status for the alternate semester when they are not enrolled in an academic class. A Reserve Cadet Contract will be signed for each reserve cadet. 6.6.2 Cadets on reserve status agree to wear their JROTC uniform every week on required uniform days and/or to participate in at least two extra-curricular activities and/or be actively involved in the drill team or color guard. 6.6.3 For agreeing to meet the obligation in paragraph 6.6.2, reserve cadets will be allowed to attend Field Day, other field trips, and be promoted one grade, if the cadet fulfills the respective promotion requirements. 6.6.4. Failure to comply with paragraph 6.6.2, cadets may be removed from reserve status by the SASI/ASI. Page 21

25 6.7. Summer Leadership School. Cadets have an opportunity to attend a 5- to 6-day summer leadership school if they meet the following requirements: scheduled to return to the JROTC program the following school year; passed the current JROTC class with a C- or higher, demonstrated leadership potential and are either a rising Sophomore, Junior or Senior. 6.7.1 Announcements about summer leadership schools begin around February. If a cadet is interested in attending leadership school, it is important they notify the SASI/ASI. 6.7.2. The Cadet Operations Commander is responsible to assist in leadership school preparation. This may include training cadets prior to the school, recommending cadets and cadre for leadership school, etc. The SASI has final approval on who, how many and which leadership school cadets will attend. 6.8. Scholarship Opportunities. Air Force minimum standards are published by AFOATS/DOJO each year. It is recommended to start the AFROTC scholarship process in April of your Junior year. The selection process is very competitive and selective. There will be no waiver from these standards. For more information on the scholarship program and selection process for any military branch of service, ask your SASI/ASI. Cadet Assessment and Evaluations 7. Cadet Assessment and Evaluations. An inspection of our program will be accomplished annually; a formal inspection is conducted by Headquarters AFJROTC every third year while a self-inspection is conducted the other two years. Therefore, each leadership group every year will prepare our unit for inspection. 7.1. Unit Assessment. The Unit Assessment will be part of the unit’s yearly planning calendar. The Cadet Stan/Eval Officer is responsible for preparing the unit for the inspection, with involvement by other staff positions. 7.1.1. The first item in the Cadet Operations of the Assessment is centered on uniform wear. Adherence to dress and appearance standards define pride in our program. Cadet leaders and staff must take individual pride in properly wearing their uniform, but also correct and help others wear the uniform properly. Therefore, emphasis of ownership is placed on cadet leadership. 7.1.2. A cadet-led 30 command drill sequence will be accomplished by second-year cadets. First-year cadets may be part of the flight, but the flight commander must be a second-year cadet. Page 22

26 7.2 Unit Brief. The Cadet Group and Cadet Deputy Group Commander are responsible to put together a Unit Brief. This Unit Brief will be conducted every semester. 7.2.1. The Unit Brief describes the demographics of the program to include an introduction to our program and any special conditions our unit may face, as well as goals and goal progress, other unit achievements not addressed in the unit goals, future challenges. Additionally, the Unit Brief must include the unit health and wellness program, how it operates, the assessments and progress to date. It is encouraged to include pictures of the activities performed. The Unit Brief may include activities that go back to the last external evaluation conducted. 7.2.2. Treat each unit brief as if it is a formal presentation - invite a school official, military recruiters, or someone else of importance to be briefed. UNIFORM WEAR 8. Uniform Wear. AFJROTC requires all cadets enrolled in the program to wear the uniform at least one day per week to school. This includes the entire school day. Unless announced otherwise, uniform day is on Wednesday. Uniforms will also be required on mandatory uniform days, such as awards ceremonies, picture day, etc. 8.1. General. 8.1.1. Cadets will receive a zero for their daily uniform grade for the following situations: failure to wear the uniform without a written parent/guardian excuse, failure to wear the uniform the entire day, obvious violation of uniform wear, cadet’s personal grooming is drastically out of regulation requirements or if uniform is dirty and unkempt. You must bring in a letter from your parent/guardian stating the reason why you could not wear your uniform on the designated day, however, in order to receive credit for your weekly uniform grade, you must wear the uniform properly before the next week’s scheduled uniform day. Also, if you are absent the day of required uniform wear, you are required to make-up uniform wear prior to the next mandatory uniform day. 8.1.2. Continual or repeated violations of uniform wear may result in a reduction in rank and/or constitute receiving no credit for uniform wear in the grading policy for the course. Failure to wear the uniform three times in the semester will constitute a failing grade in uniform wear, 20% of the overall grade, unless a parent/teacher conference is held with agreement by parent to ensure compliance.

39 Change 1. Dated 25 August 2014 Effective 15 August 2014, a new AFI 3-2903 was implemented. This change affects Chapter 8 of our Cadet Training Guide. The following information will be used for proper female hair grooming and replaces the female grooming standards found on Figure 10 and Figure 11. Minimum hair length is ¼ inch, to a maximum bulk of three inches from scalp and allow proper wear of headgear. Hair will end above the bottom edge of collar and will not extend below an invisible line drawn parallel to the ground, both front to back and side to side. Bangs, or side-swiped hair will not touch either eyebrow, to include an invisible line drawn across eyebrows and parallel to the ground. See Figures 15A. When in doubt, assess correct length of hair with Airman standing in the position of attention. Exception: While wearing the Physical Training Uniform (PTU), long hair will be secured but may have loose ends and may extend below the bottom edge of the collar. The intent is for pinned-up hair to be styled in a manner that prevents loose ends from extending upward on the head. For example, when using a clip or hairpins, hair will not present the appearance of a ―rooster tail. When hair is in a bun, the bun must be a single bun; no wider than the width of the head and all loose ends must be tucked in and secured. When hair is in a ponytail, it must be a single ponytail; that does not exceed bulk and length standards and does not extend below the bottom of the collar (except while in the PTU). As with all hairstyles, a neat and professional image is essential. Hair accessories. If worn, fabric scrunchies, hairpins, combs, clips, headbands, elastic bands and barrettes must match the hair color (i.e., blonde, brunette, natural red, black, grey). Hair must still comply with bulk and appearance standards. Headgear must fit properly. Headbands or fabric scrunchies will not exceed one-inch in width. Ornaments are not authorized (i.e., ribbons, beads, jeweled pins). Braids, twists, micro-braids, French braids, Dutch braids and cornrows are authorized. A braid or twist is two or more portions of interwoven hair. If adding additional hair, it must be a natural looking color, similar to the individual's hair color. It must be conservative (moderate, being within reasonable limits; not excessive or extreme) and not present a faddish appearances. Hair must not exceed bulk and length standards and must not extend below the bottom of the collar. Headgear must fit properly. Page 36

40 All braids/twists, when worn will be of uniform dimension, no wider than one inch, with natural spacing between the braids/twists and must be tightly interwoven to present a neat, professional and well-groomed appearance. When worn, multiple braids shall be of uniform dimension, small in diameter (approx. ¼ inches), show no more than ¼ inch of scalp between the braids and must be tightly interwoven to present a neat, professional appearance. A braid/twist must continue to the end of the hair without design and following the contour of the head, and may be worn loose or in a secured style within hair standards above. See Figure 15B. Exception: Micro-braids or twists are not required to continue to the end of the hair. Unauthorized: Locs and shaved heads. Locs are defined as portions of hair that have been intentionally or unintentionally fused together to form a loc or locs. Shaved heads are defined as complete removal of all hair to the skin on the head or portions of the head. See Figures 15C. Hair color, highlights, lowlights, and frosting will not be faddish or extreme and will be natural looking hair color, similar to the individual’s hair color (e.g. black, brunette, blond, natural red, and grey).
