Description: Cadets’ experiences include leadership characteristics, practices, mentoring and community service. Core
values instilled included integrity; service before self; and excellence in all we do. Cadets get the honor/privilege to wear
the Air Force uniform. The course introduces students to different cultures through the study of world affairs, regional
studies, and cultural awareness. The course delves into history, geography, religions, languages, culture, political systems,
economics, social issues, environmental concerns, and human rights. Cadets learn about major events and significant
figures that have shaped each region. There are readings, video segments, hands-on activities, other optional activities,
technology enrichment, and assessments to guide in the reinforcement of the materials. In the “Basic Survival” units,
students will learn how to survive in situations where life and safety depends on their decisions. They will learn the basic
survival medicine procedures, treatments, and prevention measures when faced with emergency situations. The students
will understand the necessities to maintain life, such as; building shelters, identifying, preparing, and preserving food, fire
craft, and water purification. They will learn the concepts of orienteering, traveling, land navigation, and map reading
through the use of the compass and global positioning systems. Throughout the course, there are readings, videos, hands-
on activities, and in-text and student workbook exercises to guide in the reinforcement of the material. The information and
hands-on skills learned in this course will aid the student throughout their life. The leadership portion provides insight into
the fundamentals of management. The text contains many leadership topics that will benefit students as well as provide
them with some of the necessary skills needed to put into practice what they have learned during their time in AFJROTC.
Throughout the text are many ethical dilemmas, case studies, and role play activities built into the lessons. Activities are
based on real experiences and will allow students the opportunity to practice what they learn by getting involved in
discussions and expressing their opinions. We focus on “Real World” life issues that center on leading and managing
people. Wellness training will be offered one day per week. No military obligation is imposed, expected or incurred by
students participating in AFJROTC classes.

Pine-Richland School District and Mars Area School District have agreed to participate together with Air Force JROTC (AFJROTC).
This collaboration offers the program additional resources and provides both districts with many positive opportunities that AFJROTC
presents. Classes and instructors will remain at Pine-Richland High School.
