HISTORY, MISSION AND OBJECTIVE OF THE AFJROTC PROGRAM

1. HISTORY OF AFJROTC.

The JROTC program began in 1911 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Army Lieutenant Edgar R. Steevers, who was assigned as an inspector-instructor of the organized military of Wyoming, came up with the idea of a high school level cadet corps dedicated to making better citizens rather than soldiers. The National Defense Act of 1916 authorized the first JROTC program

The ROTC Vitalization Act of 1964, Public Law 88 - 647, directed the Secretaries of each of the mili-tary services to establish and maintain JROTC units at public and private secondary schools which requested and were eligible under regulations established by the secretaries of the services. This law created the Air Force JROTC program in 1966, forming the first twenty units. Over the years the pro-gram has grown and expanded, with more than seven hundred units in existence world wide.

An expansion program initiated in 1992 by then, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Colin Powell authorized more programs throughout the nation. Cherokee County was authorized to initiate a unit in 1995, at each county high school (Etowah, Sequoyah, and Cherokee). The official designation for Cherokee High School unit is GA - 953, with a start date of July 17, 1995. Cherokee High School AFJROTC has one Senior Aerospace Science Instructor (SASI) Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) Eddy L. Stanfill and one Aerospace Science Instructor (ASI) Senior Master Sergeant (SMSgt) Jeffrey Bise.

2. AIR FORCE JROTC MISSION.

The mission of the AFJROTC program is to develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community. This program is to acquaint secondary educational students with the aero-space age and its history, to develop more informed citizens and to strengthen the character as a per-son. It is also designed to promote understanding of the concept of the “citizen soldier” in a democrat-ic society, to help develop a sense of patriotism, and to promote the student’s understanding of the need and benefit of self-discipline, teamwork, and community spirit.

3. AIR FORCE JROTC OBJECTIVE.

In accomplishing the mission, the cadet group will STRIVE to meet the following objectives:

To develop a knowledge of aerospace science; its history, career opportunities, and environment.

5

To promote habits of orderliness, and hygiene.

To develop respect for constituted authority.

To develop the ability to perform basic military skills associated with drill and ceremonies.

To become a responsible and better informed citizen of our community, state, country, and world.

To develop improved study habits and time management techniques.

To wear the Air Force uniform according to applicable regulation, policies, and guidelines.

To demonstrate appropriate military customs and courtesies in uniform, and out of uniform.

To improve the community through active involvement in activities and projects.

To encourage, develop and promote: Integrity, Courage, Patriotism, Competition, Competence, Te-

nacity, Honor, Responsibility, Self Reliance, Self Discipline, Loyalty, Initiative, Commitment, Decisive-

ness, Selflessness, Teamwork, Effective Follower, Effective Leader, Planning, Organizing, Coordinat-

ing, Directing, and Controlling.

Section Two

AEROSPACE SCIENCE CURRICULUM

The Aerospace Science Curriculum consists of four course levels with each covering an academic year.

Forty percent (40%) of the class time is devoted to academic subjects with forty percent (40%) or two

days per week spent on leadership development and drill maneuvers and twenty percent (20%) spent on

physical fitness. You will earn half a unit technology/career preparatory credit per semester or one unit

for the entire academic school year.

Aerospace Science I (AS-I) is an introductory course for all students entering JROTC. It will cov-

er the Heritage of Flight, followed by the Development of Air Power and ending with Military Aerospace.

The course details the role of the military in U.S. history, the role of aerospace forces as instruments of

U.S. national policy, and the composition of the U.S. aerospace community. The Leadership Education

portion of this course concentrates on followership and leadership fundamentals, customs and courtesies

of the armed forces, drill and ceremonies, organization and management instruction, communication,

problem solving techniques, and a strong emphasis on developing personal VALUES.

6

Aerospace Science II (AS-II) is a general study of aviation weather, aeronautics, and the principles of flight and navigation, and will cover our solar system. The Leadership portion of the course covers communication skills, introduces leadership theory and individual/group behavior, and allows the cadet to apply these skills during drill.

Aerospace Science III (AS-III) studies our present military and aerospace systems and the social aspects of aerospace. The subject matter includes aircraft propulsion systems, rocketry, and space tech-nology and travel. We will also concentrate on the topic of career development. The Leadership portion refines management and communication techniques and concentrates on perfecting the cadet’s leader-ship skills for Cadet Corps command and staff positions.

Aerospace Science IV (AS-IV) stresses the challenge of command and staff, individual planning and career management. The Leadership Education portion of the course integrates and applies all previ-ous academic and leadership instruction by requiring the Cadet Commander and senior staff to run all as-pects of the Cadet Corps. These duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to command, oper-ations, information management, personnel management, awards and decorations, finance, public affairs, logistics, and physical fitness. These duties are rotated during the school year to give each cadet the op-portunity to plan, organize, coordinate, direct and control different command and staff functions. Here we emphasize performance and constructive feedback to provide positive learning experiences for cadets as they direct and control the GA - 953 resources and personnel.

Cadets will have the opportunity to be selected for the Summer Cadet Leadership Course (CLC). The CLC is a 6 day leadership program conducted during summer break at Charleston SC, The Citadel. The program is designed to prepare cadets with the knowledge, experience and ability to perform effectively as cadet officers.

AFJROTC BENEFITS FOR CADETS

1. BENEFITS

Enrollment in AFJROTC does not subject the cadet (student) to any military obligation. Completion of three or more years of AFJROTC can provide the cadet with the following possible tangible benefits, be-sides be a “better citizen”:

Cadets will be educated on the opportunities for post high school education, namely ROTC at major col-leges and universities and entrance into the various military academies. JROTC teaches the fundamen-tals in leadership, integrity, and community service; vital elements to a high school senior to compete well for scholarships an appointments. Both the SASI and ASI have experience in helping students to gain access to such institutions.

7

Cadets who complete two, three or more years of AFJROTC are eligible to enlist into the armed services (Army, Air Force or Navy) at a higher pay grade than someone who has not done AFJROTC. You can get from one to two pay grades higher depending on the needs of the service and the job you will be providing to your country.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG

(TO BE RECITED AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH CLASS)

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM

THE STAR SPANGLE BANNER

Oh, say, can you see by the dawn’s early light,

what so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,

o’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming;

and the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

Oh, say, does that star-spangle banner yet wave,

o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

* When the National Anthem is played indoors or outdoors, you should stand.

Military members in uniform should stand at attention indoors and outdoors stand at attention and salute.

AIR FORCE HYMN

Lord, guard and guide the men who fly,

Through the great spaces of the sky;

Be with them traversing the air,

In darkening storms or sunshine fair.

Aloft in solitude of space,

Uphold them with thy saving grace.

O God, protect the men who fly,

Through lonely ways beneath the sky.

AMEN.

31

HIGH FLIGHT

Oh, I have slipped the surly bond of earth

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth

Of sun-split clouds--and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of--wheeled and soared and swung

High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,

I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung

My eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long delirious, burning blue

I’ve topped the windswept heights with easy grace

Where never lark, or even eagle flew.

And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod

The high untrespassed sanctity of space,

Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

John Gillespie Magee Jr.

.

THE AIR FORCE SONG

Off we go into the wild blue yonder,

Climbing high into the sun;

Here they come zooming to meet our thunder.

At ‘em boys, give’r the gun!

Down we dive spouting our flame from under,

Off with one Hell-of-a-roar!

We live in fame or go down in flame,

Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!

CHEROKEE HIGH SCHOOL ALMA MATTER

In the midst of rolling hills Beneath the Southland's sky Stands our Alma Mater true Dear old Cherokee High..

Chorus:Cherokee, Cherokee, long live the Red and White. Onward, onward Cherokee, home of the Warrior might.
