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.
