Description: As mentioned in the previous course, Cadets’ experiences include leadership characteristics,
practices, mentoring and community service. Core values of integrity, service before self and excellence in all
we do, are instilled. Cadets earn the honor/privilege to wear the Air Force uniform. This course includes the
study of the space environment from the earliest days of astronomy to present day including the Earth, sun,
stars, Moon, and solar system. This course will involve discussion of critical issues involved in traveling in the
upper atmosphere such as orbits and trajectories, unmanned satellites, space probes and the importance of
entering space, manned and unmanned space flights, focusing on concepts surrounding spaceflight, space
vehicles, launch systems, and space missions. Leadership Education will be helpful to students deciding
which path to take after high school. The course topics include application and admission procedures to
college, vocational or technical school as well as how to begin a job search for private, federal government and
aerospace career opportunities. Financial
planning, contracts, leases, wills, warranties,
personal bills, and citizen responsibilities will also
be discussed. Instruction will focus on “Real
World” life issues that center on dealing with
personal finance and investing for a lifetime of
success. Wellness training will be offered one day
per week. No military obligation is imposed,
expected or incurred by students participating in
AFJROTC classes.
