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.
