Dear Fellow Cadets, My name is Cadet Conor Helo and it is with much excitement that I welcome you into the Junior ROTC program here at North Penn High School. I am looking forward to many things this year as we all strive to not only better ourselves but better our school, corps, and community. We have a lot of fun and interesting things planned for this upcoming academic year and I know with all of us on board it is bound to be a very exciting year. On behalf of all of the cadets in the corps I would like to extend a special welcome to those who will be joining us for the first time this year. There are many motivations for taking this class. Whether it is an interest in aviation, a desire for drill, or even the thought of making lifelong friends that convinced you to sign up, we are glad to have you and I am sure you will not regret your decision. JROTC has many things to offer you in new and innovative ways. For those who like to reach out to their community, we participate in many community service events throughout the academic year including Memorial Day parades, Oktoberfest, and many Color Guard events throughout the area. If you enjoy competition against your peers then we also offer after school drill practices in which you will be prepared to represent North Penn at one of the numerous Drill Competitions throughout the tri-state area. All activities outside of the classroom are completely optional to everyone however we do highly encourage your participation in these events, which you will learn are a lot of fun and enjoyment for everyone. To conclude I would like to give you a brief summary about me and my involvement in the corps. I am going to be a senior along with a third year cadet here in the JROTC program. I worked hard for two years to earn the position of Cadet Commander and I look forward to finishing my time at North Penn in a strong manner. I am a very laid back kind of guy and very easy to talk to, so please feel free that if you have any questions or concerns about anything to get in touch with me and I will do my best to assist you. Sincerely, // Signed // Conor Joseph HeloCadet Lieutenant Colonel, North Penn High School Junior ROTC

Congratulations on your decision to enroll in the AFJROTC program.

The Pennsylvania 20062 Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) Group was established at North Penn High School in the fall of 2006 by agreement between the Lansdale Township School District and the United States Air Force.

The Senior Aerospace Science Instructor (SASI) is a retired US Air Force officer and the Aerospace Science Instructor (ASI) is a retired US Air Force Senior Noncommissioned Officer. These instructors have extensive professional military education and training, and are certified teachers.

The AFJROTC curriculum includes aerospace science and leadership training. Cadet officers and noncommissioned officers learn leadership and management skills by actively planning, organizing and directing all activities associated with the PA-20062 AFJROTC Group. In essence our the Junior ROTC program is designed to provide young men and women the opportunity to develop and hone leadership and management skills through hands-on experience.

While it may appear that JROTC programs are designed to serve as a transition to or potentially a recruiting mechanism for military service; the national program, founded in 1912 actually was not designed to this end. The original program philosophy, which we hold still today, is simply to provide a structured and disciplined program to aid young men and women reach their full potential as adults and citizens of our nation. Regardless of whether our students enter the military, our success is measured in the overall development and growth of our cadets.

The Aerospace Science Instructors and cadets have prepared this guide for your use. The standards in this guide support the leadership and personal development objectives of the AFJROTC program.

Also included in this guide is an academic planner. Use this planner to aid in organizing not only JROTC assignments and test preparation, but all your academic subjects. While it may seem different at first to record and plan academic events, you will find that it greatly helps to focus study periods and assignment completion.

Try using the planner for a quarter...I'm sure you will see your academic performance improve simply by applying a little time and task management.

We wish you success in all your endeavors! Welcome to the North Penn High School PA 20062 AFJROTC Group.

Introduction to Air Force Junior ROTC

“IT’S NOT JUST ANOTHER COURSE IT IS A LIFE EXPERIENCE”

WELCOME to the Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) Program. Students in this program have accepted a challenge unlike any other offered in high school. We define a cadet as an Air Force Junior Officer Training Corps academic student who has chosen a challenging high school lifestyle that will foster the development of tradition, honor, discipline, excellence and citizenship.

AFJROTC is a continuing success story. From the mid-1960s to the present, and into the 21st century, JROTC programs have touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of America’s students. The AFJROTC program positively influences our country by helping one student at a time. Our instructors, who retired as some of the Air Force’s finest leaders, are helping to form tomorrow’s nation by educating our proud and patriotic cadets—tomorrow’s leaders.

A common misperception is that JROTC's main function is to prepare students for a military career and that it holds little value for the college bound students. This is simply not true. JROTC is a leadership training program. What student would not benefit from a program that develops leadership skills and attributes that will make anyone more competitive in any job market. These attributes need to be taught and developed.

As we go into the 21st century it is imperative that our graduating cadets develop and possess the following characteristics: teamwork, problem solving ability, interpersonal skills, oral communication, listening skills, creative thinking, leadership, organizational effectiveness, responsibility, and personal accountability.

To be eligible for the AFJROTC program, a student must be:

Physically fit. Qualified, approved, or capable to participate in the school's standard physical education

program In a grade above 8th grade A citizen or national of the United States or an alien admitted for permanent residence. Enrolled in and attending a regular course of instruction in the school

As a member of the Pennsylvania 2006-2 Air Force JROTC Cadet Group, we expect our cadets to exceed the standards of average high school students, to follow, to lead, and to learn. Sustaining this high level of performance will place great demands on your personal character. Cadets must possess integrity, self-discipline, loyalty to the corps, and maturity. Our cadet leadership will work with each cadet to ensure each cadet succeeds.

Our dynamic curriculum present cadets exciting opportunities to learn about aerospace science, self-discipline, respect for authority, teamwork, problem solving, interpersonal skills,

9

oral and written communications, personal and career development, creative thinking, followership, and leadership (concepts and principles). In addition, our curriculum covers human relations, human motivation, and improving group effectiveness. Simultaneously they explore and learn to carry out the traditions, customs, and courtesies practiced in the PA-2006-2 and the Air Force. Finally, the extracurricular activities such as the military ball, color guard/drill teams, and community service projects give our cadets the opportunity to put the skills they learn in the classroom to practical use. The program allows them to see, do, and learn things that they never imagined possible.

The Pennsylvania-20062The Pennsylvania 2006-2 AFJROTC Cadet Corps at North Penn High School was

activated in 2006.

Although a relatively new unit, the cadets have been participating in a wide variety of community service activities. Over the past several school years these community activities have included:

· Parades and Flag ceremonieso NPHS Football gameso Philadelphia Phillies Baseball Gameo Philadelphia Flyers Hockey Gameo Philadelphia Soul Arena Football Gameo Conschohokin St Patrick’s paradeo Veterans Day celebration at various locationso Memorial Day parades and ceremonies at Lansdale, Hatfield and Telford

· Marine Corps Band support· Back to School Night· Bus to the Future· Boy/Girl Scout Support· Relay for Life · Cadet Food Drive for Lansdale Township’s needy (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter)· Visits to local Senior Center· Toys for Tots Christmas Collection· Giving Tree Christmas Charity Program· Raise money for American Red Cross disaster relief including:· Lansdale & Montgomeryville Oktoberfest· Heroes Walk· Freedom Steps

Clubs and Activities

The Drill TeamThe Drill Team is made up of cadets who have displayed excellence in drill performance.

This includes military bearing, self-discipline, obedience to command, respect for authority, drill precision, and uniform knowledge and wear. We are working towards two drill teams (unarmed and armed). The Unarmed Drill Team performs basic drill and precision movements, while demonstrating military bearing and teamwork. The Armed Drill Team performs basic drill movements while using demilitarized rifles for their performances.

Color GuardAny cadet interested in being in the public spotlight should join the Color Guard. Cadets

perform in four person teams to present the colors at sporting and community events. It is a privilege to join the Color Guard and represent the PA-2006-2 Cadet Corps.

Radio Control Aircraft Club Working as a joint organization with the NPHS Technology Department, this club

constructs and flies radio controlled aircraft. Cadets utilize the principals taught in aerospace science to successfully pilot their aircraft. All activities are supervised by NPHS Technology Department faculty.

Fitness ClubEmphasizing fitness as a way of life, the fitness club is open to all cadets regardless if one

is a seasoned athlete or beginner. Individual fitness goals for the year are set for each member at the beginning of the fall semester and tracked through the year to show progress.

Exhibition Team

Exhibition is all about teamwork and timing. Cadets need to be in their position and ready to perform when expected. The Exhibition Team is made up of cadets who have mastered drill and rifle. These cadets must master more advance armed and unarmed techniques. They use creativity to create complex routines to compete at Drill Competitions and participate in community events.

11

Scholarships and College Credit

ScholarshipsThe Air Force JROTC Scholarship program began in the mid-1980s. It provides an

incentive for AFJROTC units to attract and retain students whose college academic specialties and demonstrated potential meet critical Air Force needs. Each unit may nominate qualified cadets annually to compete for 3 or 4 year scholarship through the AFROTC regular College Scholarship Program. Scholarships pay for most tuition costs, plus books and fees at more than 750 universities and colleges. Scholarships are offered in engineering, science, selected technical areas, and non-technical areas.

College CreditAir Force JROTC has developed a partnership with Adams State College to provide

college credit for AFJROTC courses. All credits earned are transferable nation-wide filling a college elective course requirement. Each course is awarded 2 college credits, hence a student completing all four years in the JROTC program at NPHS would receive 8 college credits from Adams College provided the student:

· Registers with Adams State College (Tuition is $60.00/credit hour, hence $120/year)· Obtains a "B" grade within the course.

This is an excellent opportunity to accelerate your college degree requirements while taking classes in High School. Cadets interested in registering with Adams State College, please contact a member of the JROTC faculty for more details.

Chapter 5

Cadet Corps Organization

This chapter outlines the basics in regard to cadet position descriptions and associated position rank. It must always be remembered that holding a leadership position is an honored privilege earned through hard work and ability. It is not a right. While each description generally outlines the requirements of each particular position, it cannot cover every contingency. Cadets should always use sound judgment in doing what is right for the Cadet Corp and the safety of its members. All NCOs wear the temporary rank of Technical Sergeant, except for the Operations Directorate NCO who wears the temporary rank of Master Sergeant.

Cadet Corps Promotions and Awards Program

Promotions Program and Policies

Philosophy

All promotions and assignments are earned by conscientious and consistent work and demonstrated effective leadership. The attainment of rank is not reward of performance, but in recognition of the abilities of the cadet to perform at the higher rank. Promotions in the PA-20062 AFJROTC Group are based a "whole person" concept with emphasis placed on:

· Academic Performance: o Overall academic performance in all NPHS classeso Academic performance in JROTC

· Organizational Leadership: How well do you function in positions of leadership? Do you command respect? Do you give proper consideration to subordinates? How well do you maintain your uniform? If not in an assigned leadership role, how do you contribute to the success of your flight and the corps as a whole?

· Co-Curricular Activities: To what degree do you carry interest and enthusiasm beyond the classroom? Do you participate and demonstrate excellence in other cadet activities?

· Responsibility: How do you accept job assignments and responsibility? Do you volunteer for additional duties? Do you accept responsibility for the proper care of your uniform? Are you always on time? Are you always prepared for class? Do you meet your financial obligations in a timely manner?

· Service: To what degree do you serve the cadet corps, school and community?

Permanent Rank and Temporary Rank

Within the JROTC program there are two types of ranks a cadet may hold, and in some cases, both will be held at the same time.

· Permanent Rank: This rank is permanently awarded based on satisfactory service in AFJROTC. This rank is awarded following the cadet promotion board held towards the conclusion of the fall and spring semesters. If a cadet is not filling a position with a higher temporary rank, they will wear the insignia of their earned permanent rank. \

29

· Temporary Rank: This rank is awarded based on the position to which you are assigned. Since this rank is temporary, you may not carry it over from one year to the next. Temporary ranks are assigned only when they are higher than the permanent rank.

Promotion Cycles

Outside of spot promotions (which will be addressed in a later section), cadets are eligible for promotion at the conclusion of the fall and spring semesters. At this time a promotion board chaired by the SASI and managed by the Personnel OIC will review individual cadet performance throughout the semester.

Promotion is not automatic, but must be earned. While promotion figures 5.1 and 5.2 outline specific hard promotion criteria, the promotion board will weigh the cadet's entire record of performance to include organizational leadership, co-curricular activities, responsibilities and service when making a promotion recommendation. A promotion recommendation (yes or no) will be provided from the board to the JROTC faculty for final approval.

If recommended by the promotion board and approved by the JROTC faculty, the cadet will be awarded the new rank, and his/her personnel file will be updated accordingly. Once the semester promotion list is released, a cadet may challenge the promotion board recommendation by appealing to the JROTC faculty.

Cadet enlisted promotion cycle and criteria are outlined in figures 5.1 and 5.2:

Enlisted Promotion: NPHS/MS semester cumulative GPA – 2.5 or above JROTC semester GPA – 3.0 or above Recommendation from their Home Office Recommendation from their Flight Commander

Officer Promotion: NPHS/MS semester cumulative GPA – 3.0 or above JROTC semester GPA – 3.0 or above Recommendation from their Home Office

Below the Zone Promotion Eligibility

Cadets may receive a "below the zone" promotion recommendation from the promotion board once per academic year if they meet the following criteria:

· NPHS (or Middle School) semester GPA of 3.0 with no subject area below a "C"· Completion of 3 JROTC faculty approved community activities within the semester (this

may include participation in a Color/Honor Guard activity)

If recommended and approved, a cadet receiving a below the zone promotion will jump one promotion grade. For example, a cadet with the rank of airman receives a "below the zone" promotion. The cadet's new rank will be Senior Airman, thereby promoting above (or skipping) the Airman First Class rank.

Awards ProgramThe JROTC faculty will determine which cadets receive AFJROTC cadet awards and

AFJROTC sponsored awards. While there are various types of awards from national to local unit level, all awards have one thing in common; to recognize the outstanding leadership, performance or achievement of well deserving cadets. Award categories are broken down into two sections; Corps and JROTC Awards
