Congratulations on your decision to enroll in the AFJROTC program.
The Germany-081st (GR-081) Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps
(AFJROTC) was established at Kaiserslautern High School in the Fall of 1972 by
agreement between the Kaiserslautern School District and Headquarters, United States
Air Force JROTC.
The Senior Aerospace Science Instructor (SASI) is a retired U.S. Air Force officer
and the Aerospace Science Instructor (ASI) is a retired U.S. Air Force noncommissioned
officer. These instructors have extensive professional military education and training, as
well as, many years experience teaching and training others.
The AFJROTC curriculum includes aerospace science, leadership instruction
training and Wellness Program (PT). Cadet officers and noncommissioned officers learn
leadership and management skills by organizing and directing the GR-081st AFJROTC
Group. Our mission is simply developing citizens of character dedicated to serving the
nation and community. Enrollment in the corps in no way obligates the cadet for
military service.
The Aerospace Science Instructors and cadets of the GR-081st AFJROTC Group
at Kaiserslautern High School prepared this cadet guide for your use. It is not a
regulation although it refers to Air Force regulations and gives guidance in areas not
practically regulated. This guide may also be informative to principals, counselors,
teachers and parents.
The standards in this guide support the leadership and personal development
objectives of the AFJROTC program and if taken in the spirit, in which they are intended,
will provide the foundation for a pleasant and profitable educational experience. It
contains policy guidance, requirements and rules of conduct for you, an AFJROTC cadet
at Kaiserslautern High School. I recommend you study this guide thoroughly. You will
be held responsible for its contents during daily activities and on examinations.
We wish you success and personal satisfaction as a member of the Kaiserslautern
High School GR-081st Group.

Preface
This Cadet Guide has been prepared to establish a high standard of performance for the
Kaiserslautern High School GR-081st AFJROTC Group. This standard will allow the
entire Cadet Group to work together towards a common goal proficiency that will earn
pride in achievement and make our unit the best in DoDDs and Europe.
This Cadet Guide will be used as a reference for specific details to maintain a high
standard of performance. FOR EXAMPLE: proper wear of the uniform, placement of
insignia, classroom conduct, honor code, etc.
We believe that most cadets will voluntarily work for the betterment of the group if they
are aware of the goals and mission of the unit. You, as a cadet, are responsible for
obtaining a thorough understanding of the contents of this cadet guide. Only then can
you maximize your experience and participation in the AFJROTC program and apply
these standards to the benefit of yourself and GR-081st.
Remember, effective LEADERSHIP starts with responsible FOLLOWERSHIP.
BEFORE YOU CAN LEARN TO LEAD, YOU MUST LEARN TO FOLLOW!

Chapter One
Introduction
I. Scope
This guide is designed to provide a general overview of the Kaiserslautern High
School Air Force Junior ROTC program. As a guide, it cannot cover every
conceivable situation; it must be interpreted using common sense and good judgment.
Assistance in the proper interpretation of information included herein may be obtained
from a senior cadet or Aerospace Science Instructor. In any case, do not seek unqualified
opinions or rely upon rumor.
This document is not a regulation or directive, although it does refer to Air Force
Instructions and gives guidance in areas not particularly regulated. Should a difference
between this guide and any Air Force Instruction or Kaiserslautern High School policy
exist, the instruction and/or school district policy will take precedence.
II. Basic Concepts
JROTC is not a basic military training course and no military service obligation is
incurred by enrollment or participation in any of its programs.
Carefully screened, qualified, retired Air Force personnel guide the cadets through the
program. Each participating school is authorized at least one commissioned officer as the
Senior Aerospace Science Instructor (SASI) and one noncommissioned officer (NCO) as
an Aerospace Science Instructor (ASI).
The JROTC curriculum has three focal points: Aerospace Science, Leadership
Education, and Wellness (Fitness).
The Aerospace Science curriculum focuses on the historical, scientific and technical
aspects of aerospace power. It constitutes the core of the JROTC program.
Leadership Education provides experiences to develop discipline, responsibility,
communications skills, and citizenship. Cadets learn leadership fundamentals to prepare
them for leadership responsibilities within the cadet corps, Kaiserslautern High School,
the local community, and future endeavors. Leadership education includes wearing the
cadet uniform, engaging in Air Force customs and courtesies, participating in drill and
ceremonies, giving and receiving instructions, and becoming leaders and members of an
organization.
III. Corps History

The JROTC program, as it is known today, began in 1911 in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Army Lieutenant Edgar R. Steevers, who was assigned as an inspector-instructor of the
organized military of Wyoming, originated the idea of a non-compulsory, high school
cadet corps aimed at making better citizens, as opposed to soldiers. The National
Defense Act of 1916 originally authorized JROTC. The ROTC Vitalization Act (Public
Law 88-647) of 1964 directed the Secretaries of each military service to establish and
maintain JROTC units at public and private secondary schools, with eligibility according
to regulations established by each Secretary. Air Force Junior ROTC actually began in
1966 with 20 units.
General Colin Powel1, the former Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff, advocated expansion
of the Junior ROTC programs. In August 1992, then President George H.W. Bush
announced the expansion, and in late October, Congress passed a public law to increase
the number of Junior ROTC units. The Air Force is now authorized over 900 units
throughout the United States and overseas. Currently, there are over 850 active Junior
ROTC units with over 100,000 cadets enrolled.
IV. Air Force JROTC Emblem

Significance
- Blue and yellow are the Air Force JROTC
Colors.
- Blue alludes to the sky, the primary theater
of Air Force operations.
- Yellow refers to the sun and the excellence
required of Air Force JROTC personnel.
- The winged Torch of Knowledge
symbolizes education and understanding of
the JROTC organization and operation.
- The thunderhead cloud represents potential power.
- Four lightning bolts signify that reserve power is a force capable of defending the nation
in time of national emergency.
- The two crossed olive branches symbolize the potential of the Air Force JROTC
graduate as a proficient leader and worthy citizen.

Chapter Three
Admission, Disenrollment, Transfers, Completion
I. Admission
To be eligible for membership and continue in the AFJROTC program, each student
must be:
- In a grade above the 8th grade but not have exceeded their fourth year in high school
- 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, home
schooled students may participate if approved by the Principal and SASI
II. Disenrollment
Disenrollment from AFJROTC is determined by the principal in coordination with the
SASI. Disenrollment should be a last resort preceded by substantiated documentation
and corrective counseling. A cadet may be disenrolled for:
- Failure to maintain acceptable standards
- Inaptitude or indifference to training
- Discipline reasons
- Failure to remain enrolled in school
- Individual request
- Any other reason deemed appropriate by the principal and the SASI
III. Transfers
Students transferring from Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or other
AFJROTC units are authorized full credit for training received. Transfer of rank held in
another service program will be discussed later in this guide.
IV. Completion
Passing grades in each credit-granting period of AFJROTC constitutes successful
completion. Cadets may be awarded certificates even if they do not graduate from high
school since the certificate is based only on AFJROTC performance. Cadets will be
awarded a Certificate of Training proportional to the number of AFJROTC courses
passed.
10
Chapter Four
Code of Ethics and Cheating
I. Code of Ethics
Cadets will:
- Show respect for our country and host nation
- Respect their parents/guardians, school officials and staff, teachers, and community
leaders
- Refrain from any act or derogatory word(s) that would discredit themselves, family,
school, or cadet corps
- Dedicate themselves to succeed in academics, athletics, extracurricular activities, and
work
- Perform all assigned duties and meet all obligations in a timely manner
- Maintain self-respect, self-control, and good behavior
- Be honest and understand that honorable failure is better than success through unfair
means
- Be proud of their uniform and commitment to AFJROTC
- Be an exemplary role model with high standards of conduct.
- Respect other cadets and follow the directions of senior cadet officers
- Place the good of the cadet corps ahead of personal gain
II. Cheating
Cheating is taking an unfair advantage of a situation or a classmate in order to obtain
higher grades, better scholarship opportunities, cadet recognition awards, flight awards,
or some other tangible gain. Cheating is usually, but not always, accomplished by using
or copying from another person's work and often takes the form of some last moment
actions done without thinking.
Cheating will not be tolerated in AFJROTC or in any other classes at Kaiserslautern
High School.
11
Individuals who either passively (but knowingly) or purposely allow others to copy
their work are just as guilty of cheating as the active cheater. They are willing
participants and have endorsed, by their actions, an act of dishonesty. They will be dealt
with exactly the same as the active cheater.
Cadets who cheat and are caught identify themselves as people who cannot be trusted
and are not able to maintain the standards of holding cadet rank/position. While cheating
will be dealt with on an individual basis, these guidelines are intended to inform, in
advance, all cadets of the seriousness with which such activities are viewed by the
AFJROTC instructors.
12
Chapter Five
Conduct and Military Courtesy
I. General
Cadets are expected to observe proper military customs and courtesies at all times.
Such behavior reflects credit upon themselves, their parents/guardians, the GR-081st,
AFJROTC, Kaiserslautern High School, the United States Armed Forces, and our
country.
II. Standards of Conduct
It is impossible to provide a complete set of rules that covers all situations. In general,
cadets are expected to be honest, courteous, and respectful at all times. The below list of
expected behavior is only a guide and not in any way all-inclusive.
-
Hazing, any type of physical or mental abuse and punishment, is strictly

prohibited and will not be tolerated.
Harassment of other cadets will not be tolerated, whether it is sexual, racial, or
religious in nature.
Proper military courtesy is expected from cadets at all times when in uniform.
This includes proper salutes and a respectful manner when dealing with cadets
who are senior in command or an instructor.
Insubordination or disrespect will not be tolerated.
Cadets will not engage in horseplay such as hitting, slapping, sparring, or
wrestling.
Fighting will not be tolerated, in or out of uniform.
While wearing the JROTC uniform, both on and off campus, close physical
contact such as holding hands, cuddling, embracing, kissing, and any other public
display of affection is strictly prohibited.
Cadets will comply with the procedures set forth in this guide and the student
handbook.
III. Classroom Procedures and Behavior

AFJROTC cadets are expected to obey all Kaiserslautern High School rules
concerning class attendance and conduct. In addition, cadets will comply with the
procedures contained herein while attending AFJROTC classes.
-
When you walk into the AFJROTC classroom, you will assume your military
bearing. Remember that you are walking into a disciplined environment. Scan
the room for announcements, such as on a bulletin board or the white board,
which may provide information important to you.
13
Upon reaching your desk, place your books and other required classroom
materials upon the desk. You may quietly converse with people nearby.
Check and verify the uniform inspection task sheet on the bulletin board.
Have all five required items on your desk: pen (black or blue ink), pencil, writing
paper, work/text books, student planner, and any assignments that are due.
Element leaders will check their elements for absentees and be ready to report the
information when directed to do so by the Flight Sergeant.
Upon hearing the tardy bell, assume the position of parade rest behind your desk.
The below listed actions will occur to begin the class.

14
Flight Commander
Instructor
EXCELLENCE IN ALL WE DO
Flight Commander and Flight Sergeant march back behind
the desk at the back of classroom, face the Instructor and
report on the entire status of the flight while saluting,
SIR/MAAM, ALPHA FLIGHT READY FOR
INSTRUCTION SIR/MAAM
Return Flight Commanders salute and issues appropriate
instructions.
When the bell for dismissal rings, cadets will not get up from their seats until directed
to do so. The instructor will advise the Flight Commander to take charge of the class and
dismiss them. The Flight Sergeant will then call the flight to attention and the Flight
commander will give the command to dismiss the class after stating the Flight Motto, the
Air Force Motto AIM HIGH, FLY, FIGHT, WIN, and giving any final instructions (i.e.
dont forget your homework). At that time, cadets may depart the classroom.
AFJROTC classes are built on good order and discipline, and the Mutual Respect
Training Model. Cadets are expected to abide by the following rules at all times while in
the room:
-
Do not talk when an instructor or another student is talking. If you have

something to say, hold up your hand and wait to be recognized.
Sit up in your chair and remain alert. Do not put your head down on the desk or
close your eyes to nap in class. If you cant stay alert, request permission to move
to the side or rear of the classroom and stand at parade rest.
Use the restroom before coming to class. Bathroom passes are limited to true
emergencies and will only be permitted if you sign out in your planner and the
room sign out sheet, after receiving permission from the instructor.
Do not sit on tables or other items of furniture not meant for that purpose.
No loud talk or boisterous activity (horseplay) in the AFJROTC complex.
No personal items (band instruments, jackets, schoolbooks, book bags, uniform
bags) are to be left in the AFJROTC complex without the permission of an
instructor.
Do not talk during test times until all papers have been turned in and the instructor
has given you permission.
Cadets should not touch, move, or look through items on the instructors desk in
the classroom or staff office. Cadets will not sit at any of the above mentioned
desks.
Cadets will not enter the instructors office without prior permission.
Cadets will not enter the Logistics room unless given specific permission by an
Instructor, Group Commander, or Director of Logistics.
Before using the Internet on a computer for any purpose, prior permission must be
given by an Instructor.

IV. Military Customs and Courtesies

Salutes
The salute is a traditional greeting between military personnel. The salute is deeply
rooted in military history from when warriors raised their right arms to show that no
weapon was present, to when knights raised their visors with their right hand as a sign of
greeting, and to when American soldiers removed their "3-corner" hats to greet others
and show them respect. The salute is a way of saying "Hello" while showing respect to
officers senior in rank. Sometimes the hand salute is rendered to honor the Colors, a
mark of respect for the U.S.A. The way cadets execute a salute is important. A smart
salute indicates pride in self and corps. A sloppy, lackadaisical salute indicates lack of
confidence and pride. Cadets should develop the habit of carrying books or other objects
with the left hand to free the right hand for saluting.
Cadets should, when wearing the uniform, outside, and not under cover, salute:
- The President and Vice President
- All commissioned and warrant officers of United States military services and
friendly foreign nations
- SASI
- Senior ROTC cadets
- JROTC cadet officers
Cadets will not render hand salutes indoors except when formally reporting to one of the
above or during leadership training.
The Colors
The flag and national anthem are symbols of the people, their land, and institutions.
Thus, when we salute these symbols, we are saluting the nation. Flag ceremonies occur
during parades, reveilles, retreats, and prior to special events. Reveille starts the official
duty day while retreat signals the end of the official duty day. Most flag ceremonies will
be conducted with the playing of the National Anthem. All cadets will render the
following courtesies:
- When in uniform outdoors and the National Anthem or "To the Colors" is played,
stand at attention, face the flag or direction of the music, render the military salute,
and hold it from the first note of the music until the last note. When in civilian
clothes, stand at attention, face the flag or direction of the music, and place the right
hand over the heart. If wearing headgear, remove it, hold it in your right hand, and
place it over your heart.
- When attending any outdoor event and the US flag is carried past a cadet, the cadet,
if in uniform, will stand at attention, face the path of the flag, render a proper salute
six paces before the flag is even with him/her, and hold the salute until the flag
passes six paces beyond them.
- In military formations and ceremonies, the Pledge of Allegiance is not normally
recited. At protocol functions, social, and sporting events which include civilian
participants, cadets should, when in uniform outdoors, stand at attention, remain
silent, face the flag, and render the hand salute. However, in any event where most
16
of the attendees are in civilian attire, the pledge may be recited even if in military
uniform, but do not place your hand over your heart. When in uniform indoors,
stand at attention, remain silent, and face the flag. Hand salute is not rendered and
reciting the pledge is optional.
Cadet Etiquette
Proper etiquette is "the customary rules of conduct or behavior in polite society." Our
civilized society operates smoother and is more pleasant to live in, go to school, and work
in when all members practice proper etiquette and good manners. The axiom, "Treat
Others As You Want To Be Treated", is a good one to live by and is the desired behavior
of all cadets. Cadets should:
- Say "Please" and "Thank You."
- Use "Yes/No Sir/Ma'am" when addressing AFJROTC instructors, military service
members, school officials, teachers, visitors, and senior cadets at all times.
- Not keep people waiting.
- Not gossip.
- Use proper telephone etiquette.
- Use "Mr., Ms., or Mrs." and last name when addressing civilians and "Military
Grade" and last name when addressing military personnel.
Position of Honor
This military courtesy began centuries ago when men fought with swords. Since men
were primarily right handed, the heaviest fighting occurred on the right side. The left
side became a defensive position since the shield was normally carried with the left
hand/arm. Thus, since units were proud of their fighting ability, the right side (sword
bearing side) or right of the battle line became the position of honor, assumed by great
warriors and leaders. Thus, a cadet should, walk or sit on the left side of an AFJROTC
instructor, military service member, or senior cadet officer who assumes the position of
honor on the right.
Calling the class to attention
At KHS it is our policy to call the class to attention when any of the following enter or
depart the classroom:
- any prior SASI
- any O6 (colonel) or higher in uniform
- Any current or past KHS principal, assistant principal, superintendent, assistant
superintendent, Director of DoDDS-Europe, Director of DoDEA
The room will not be called to attention during lunch or when the current SASI enters the
classroom except at the beginning of class.
17
Chapter Six
Cadet Appointments and Promotion
I. Promotion
1.
Promotion provides constant challenge and motivation to members of AFJROTC.

This attention and interest is proper since promotion reflects visible evidence of
progression and standing among fellow cadets. It should be noted also that
promotion is evidence of growing maturity, the ability and willingness to accept
additional responsibility, and a demonstrated ability to direct others toward the
attainment of objectives that result in effective organizational effort.
2.
Promotions in the Kaiserslautern High School AFJROTC are based on academic

and leadership grades, and on demonstrated qualities that clearly indicate the ability
to assume a command and/or staff positions, which are to permit an equal opportunity
for qualification and selection to these positions of leadership and responsibility.
3.
The promotion system is patterned after that of the active Air Force and will
conform to guidance provided by Headquarters AFJROTC. The following provisions
apply:
a. There are two kinds of grade (rank) a cadet may hold:
1. Temporary Grade: This grade is awarded based on the position the cadet is
assigned and the performance of the cadet. Since the grade is temporary, it may
or may not be carried over from one year to the next. Cadets serving in a
temporary grade may be reverted to their former permanent grade if they no
longer hold an officers position. Permanent officer status will be awarded to
cadets holding officer positions for two or more grading periods (semester). On
special occasions, the SASI may surpass this and allow the cadet to be
promoted two or more ranks for the purpose of holding a designated Group,
Squadron, Flight, or other staff positions. Temporary Rank that results for
holding a particular leadership position (spot promotion) will only be held
during the time the cadet holds such position. After completion of the
leadership term, the cadet will be returned to the temporary rank held before
taking the leadership position.
The GR-081st will generally accept a new cadets temporary rank from the
last unit if it is not significantly out of whim with GR-081st rank limits.
However, the new cadet may be required to meet the GR-081st
promotion criteria first. Also, it is the sole responsibility of the cadet to
produce certified records verifying all rank, positions, service points, and
awards. If no records are produced, no temporary rank or awards will be
accepted and only permanent rank will be awarded.
The SASI may freeze an individual cadets promotion, even if fully
qualified, if in the opinion of the SASI that the cadet is at maximum
leadership ability at that time. The SASI may, at any time, reduce a cadet to
18
his or her permanent rank due to misbehavior, discredit to the uniform or

corps, or failure to perform at the temporary rank level.
2. Permanent Grade: This grade is awarded based on years of satisfactory
service in AFJROTC. The permanent grade authorized for 1st year cadets is
Cadet Airman; 2nd year cadets are authorized Cadet Airman First Class; 3rd year
cadets are authorized Cadet Senior Airman; 4th year cadets are authorized Cadet
Staff Sergeant. For example, all 1st year cadets who successfully complete the
first year will be promoted to the grade of Cadet Airman unless a higher
temporary grade has been achieved. All third year cadets who successfully
complete the third year will be promoted to the grade of Cadet Senior Airman
unless a higher temporary grade has been achieved. Assignment of temporary
AND permanent grades is contingent upon cadets meeting eligibility
requirements as detailed in this chapter.
b.
Whenever possible, cadet officer positions will be filled by AS-III and AS-IV
cadets. Top NCO positions, whenever possible, will be filled by AS-II and AS-III
cadets. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the SASI. Consideration is
given to previous military training and experience, (e.g., Civil Air Patrol, Explorer
Scouts, or other Junior ROTC experience.)
c.
Cadets initially assigned to command and staff positions will normally not be
awarded the highest rank authorized for these positions. This will permit
promotion to the authorized grade based upon actual performance in that position.
The Unit Manning Document (UMD) authorizes the maximum grade structure for
the Kaiserslautern High School AFJROTC GR-081st Group.
d.
No cadet will hold a grade higher than that authorized for his/her current
position. Exceptions may be made for AS-IV cadets. Such exceptions will be
granted only upon recommendation of the SASI. In all cases where this exception
is made, these cadets will be assigned to special projects, advisory positions, or to
positions where their special talents or qualifications can best be utilized for the
benefit for the cadet group.
e.
Examination of the UMD and organizational chart will quickly reveal that the
number of leadership positions authorized is limited. To give every capable cadet
the opportunity to experience an active leadership role, a system of rotation may be
employed. Rotation may be lateral, (e.g., moving to another leadership position
with the same grade, where the leadership already demonstrated by the cadet would
benefit the group), or the cadet could be rotated to a lower position (not as a
demotion) to permit other cadets to have the opportunity to earn a higher grade.
Cadets may also be rotated out of a position, reverting back to permanent grade.
Every cadet must understand and cooperate with the rotation system as we are
going to maximize leadership experience. Each cadet is asked to give to his/her
successor the same degree of loyalty and cooperation he/she expected and received
when he/she held that position, and to provide training to their successor sufficient
to ensure their effectiveness in the position.
19
4. The following policies governing appointments and promotions apply to the

Kaiserslautern High School Air Force JROTC program:
a.
The SASI will select the Group Commander, subordinate commanders, and key
staff members. The Cadet Group Commander and the ASI will recommend to the
SASI, who will act as the approving authority, nominees for all other cadet
leadership positions. Appointments to NCO positions will be
requested/recommended by the individual staff officers, through the chain of
command, and approved by the SASI Promotion and appointment actions will be
announced by Special Orders published by the Cadet Information Management
Officer, or as directed by the SASI.
b.
Normally all cadets serving in a leadership position will perform those duties for
one complete academic semester. The SASI may designate some positions to be
two academic terms based on the needs of the corps.
5. Again, it should be realized that the advanced positions of leadership are extremely
limited. There is only one Principal at Kaiserslautern High School. There is only one
Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force. All members cannot be chiefs in an
effective organization, and only when all of these positions work toward a common
goal will and an effective organization exist.
6. Unlike the grading or evaluation in other courses at Kaiserslautern High School, you
will be evaluated on a number of factors prior to being promoted. As in the active
Air Force, you will be evaluated on the whole person concept with consideration
given to each of the following qualities:
a.
Academic Leadership: How well doest the cadet perform during quizzes and
examinations, on class projects, and presentations in class? Are projects and
assignments completed on time and in a thorough and complete manner?
b.
Organizational Leadership: How well does the cadet function in positions of
leadership within the organization? Does the cadet command the respect of
subordinates? Does the cadet give proper consideration for subordinates? How is the
cadet rated by superiors?
c.
Co-Curricular Activity Leadership: To what degree does the cadet carry

interest and enthusiasm beyond the classroom? Does the cadet demonstrate
excellence in a number of outside activities?
d.
Responsibility: There are many ways a cadet can reflect responsibility. The most
evident measures of responsibility for AFJROTC evaluation purposes are promptness
in arriving for classes or formations, the degree to which the cadet is prepared to
respond to assignments and problems related to development of leadership, and the
manner in which the cadet presents himself/herself.
e.
Service: How active is the cadet in service to the community, school, and the
cadet organization?
20
f.
Organizational Support: To what degree does the cadet perform duties above
and beyond required normal group operation? Participating in a community parade,
adopt-a-grave, VFW Buddy Poppies, etc. (in uniform) or posting the flag on the
campus, are examples of support above and beyond
II. Promotion Criteria

III. Cadet Airman Duties

Cadets holding airman ranks in the JROTC program are the backbone to a successful
program. They are expected to be respectful and obedient at all times, support and follow
the authority figures placed above them, and fulfill all duties and tasks placed upon them
to the best of their abilities. Most importantly, it is the job of the cadet Airman to learn
and be the future of the program.
IV. Cadet NCO Duties

Cadets holding Noncommissioned officer ranks have two leadership duties; to assist
the officers in accomplishing the goal and to guide the airmen. To do this, NCOs need to
know their jobs well, do them, and motivate, discipline, and assist the airmen in adjusting
to the AFJROTC program.
V. Cadet Officer Duties
Cadets holding Commissioned officer ranks have special obligations. In addition to
the execution of their staff duties, as an officer in the AFJROTC program, they are
required to not only provide leadership for the entire corps, but they must also maintain
all standards of appearance and behavior at all times, in all areas of their lives.
VI. Appointments
The Senior Aerospace Science Instructor and Aerospace Science Instructor will select
cadets for positions within the Cadet Corps. Cadets will be appointed to positions where
they can gain the greatest leadership experience based on their demonstrated abilities, to
include academic, leadership and overall cadet corps performance. All cadet
appointments and promotions will be announced and published on Group Special Orders.
Cadet appointments are based on the below listed factors.
-
AFJROTC Grade
Participation in AFJROTC activities
Leadership potential
Current Cadet Corps job performance and conduct
Overall school scholarship
Attitude and effort
Recommendations from Cadet Corps Commander
Cadet corps positions may be rotated during the school year, as determined by the
instructors. Cadets in leadership positions who demonstrate unsatisfactory performance
or poor conduct will be removed from their position at the instructors discretion.
Reduction in rank normally accompanies removal from position if due to unsatisfactory
performance or poor conduct.
23
Chapter Seven
Corps Structure and Positions
I. Unit Manning Document
A Unit Manning Document is the document that lists all cadet Corps Positions and
associated maximum rank. All cadet positions are authorized on the Unit Manning
Document. Positions are listed on the Unit Manning Document by the highest rank that
can be achieved while in that position. No cadet can hold a rank higher than that
authorized for the position held. Exceptions may be made by the Senior Aerospace
Science Instructor in unusual cases.
Cadets assigned to cadet corps jobs will not be automatically promoted to the highest
rank authorized for that position. The maximum rank allowed is not a guarantee or
promise that the cadet will even reach that rank while in the position. Upon rotation,
cadets revert to their previous temporary rank unless they have earned a higher temporary
promotion during the promotion cycle as outlined by the criteria above.
II. Maximum Rack Structure within the Group
The Kaiserslautern High School AFJROTC Cadet Group strength, according to rank,
cannot exceed the following percentages:

II. Guide For Cadet Leaders

This guide is designed to assist you, the cadet leader, in accomplishing your mission. Leadership
is not an inherent characteristic, but is something that can be learned, providing you are willing to
come to terms with yourself and the mission. By utilizing the leadership techniques listed below
you, as a leader, will be able to accomplish your mission efficiently with the least burden on those
you have been selected to lead.
1. Unity of Command: Within the command structure, or any level of command, there can be
only one commander. The commander is responsible for everything his/her unit does or does
not do. The commanders responsibilities are matched by the authority necessary to carry out
his/her mission. A commander can delegate authority to take an action, but he/she can
not delegate the responsibility for that action.
2. Span of Control: One commander can only effectively control a given number of
subordinates. Normally the maximum is seven subordinates and the minimum is three. The
ideal span of control is five subordinates.
3. Chain of Command: The succession of leaders through which command is exercised is called
the chain-of-command. It enables the commander to retain unity of command within the
maximum span of control. The Group Commander assigns tasks to the Operations
Commander and the Operations Support Commander. The Operations Commander and the
Operations Support Commander uses the same procedures with the Squadron Commanders,
Flight Commander, and the Element Leaders use the same technique with the element
members.
4. Staff Authority and Responsibility: The unit staff consists of those officers and
noncommissioned officers who assist the commander in the exercise of his/her command.
They are advisors only within the specific area assigned to them by the commander. Staff
officers will keep the commander informed on matters within their areas of responsibility
which may require his/her attention.
III. Certificate of Training and Completion
There are two types of certificates that may be awarded to AFJROTC cadets: the Certificate of
Completion and the Certificate of Training.
1. Certificate of Completion
Requirements:
a. Must have passing grades in every credit granting period of the AFJROTC Program
for three full years.
Benefits:
37
a. Cadet may be excused from either year of the General Military Course (GMC) of the
Senior AFJROTC Program. This must be arranged with the Professor of Aerospace
Science (PAS) at time of enrollment in a college or university.
b. Cadet may be promoted to the pay grade of E-3 upon graduation from Basic Military
Training if enlisting in the Armed Forces (E-2 for Marines). This places the cadet
ahead of all other personnel enlisting at the same time, and theoretically makes the
cadet eligible for promotion earlier than other enlistees who enter at the same time.
2. Certificate of Training
Requirements:
a. Must have passing grades in every credit granting period of the AFJROTC Program
for two full years.
Benefits:
a. Cadet may be excused from one academic term (semester or quarter) of the General
Military Course (GMC) of the Senior AFROTC Program. This must be arranged with
the Professor of Aerospace Science (PAS) at time of enrollment in a college or
university.
Cadets may be rewarded certificates even if they do not graduate high school since the
certificate is based only on AFJROTC performance.
IV. Cadet of the Month/Quarter Program
Cadet of the Month Program

1. Cadet of the month was established to promote individual excellence and recognition of
individual accomplishments. All cadets in the group have a fair and equal opportunity of
being recognized as Cadet of the Month.
a. Once each month the SASI will choose one individual within the group as the cadet of
the Month based on the factors and criteria below:
1. Attendance
2. Homework
3. AS/LE score grade (must have at least a B)
4. Community Service Group involvement
5. Moral character/Professionalism
b. Selection will be made during the last full week of each month, except December,
when selection will be made prior to winter Break. Also there is no Cadet of the
Month for May; this is when the Cadet of the Year is announced.

38
1.
2.
3.
4.
Shoulder cord
Certificate from the SASI and ASI
Letter from the principal or SASI
Automatic entry into the Cadet of the Quarter
Cadet of the Quarter Program

2. Much like Cadet of the Month the Cadet of the Quarter program was established to promote
individual excellence and to recognize individual accomplishments. The Cadets of the Month
from the current quarter and no more than one cadet from each flight can compete for Cadet
of the Quarter. The cadet from each flight is nominated by the flight commander, flight
sergeant, and the element leaders. If there is no agreement between them, then the flight
commander determines the flights nominee. Flight nominations, to include one primary and
one alternate, must be submitted to the SASI NLT the last day of the quarter.
a. Selection is based on the following factors and criteria:
1.

Wellness Program
I. General
The Wellness Program is an integral part of the JROTC program that represents 20% of the
overall JROTC grade. It is designed to provide all cadets with a way to make significant
improvement in their health and to promote a more healthy and active lifestyle. Students will
participate in the Baseline Fitness test twice a year as well as the Lifetime Sports curriculum.
II. Wellness Training Program

The Wellness Training Program will be managed and directed by the Wellness Training
Officer and conducted by the Wellness Training Leader in each class.
Wellness Training will normally be conducted on Fridays but may be changed at the
instructors discretion. On this day, cadets will receive two grades; one for Wellness Training
uniform wear (JROTC T-shirt, shorts or sweats, and tennis shoes), the cadets physical fitness
log, and one for participation and progress in the wellness training exercises. Cadets who do not
wear the appropriate clothing or refuse to participate will receive a grade of zero. Only cadets
with a medical excuse will be exempt from participation but may be required to help with other
duties as designated by the instructor.
At the beginning of the school year, all cadets will have returned a completed Wellness
training program parental consent form and will be administered a diagnostic test/initial
assessment. Results will be recorded in the Wellness cadet record, and scores assigned according
to the JROTC standards.
On designated wellness training days, the Wellness Training Officer will select an activity
approved by the SASI to be performed and insure class Wellness Training leaders are properly
trained and informed. Class Wellness Training leaders will direct all training activities at the
instructors discretion. On these days, the Wellness Training leader will do the following:
- Ensure all cadets are properly dressed and hydrated before exercising.
- Conduct warm-up exercises for at least 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the
designated standard exercises.
- Direct the activity.
- Direct cool-down/stretching exercises
- Ensure results are recorded in the students individual cadet records
45
IV. Wellness Program Assessment

The Wellness performance assessment will be conducted twice: At the beginning of the
year to establish a baseline and a final assessment at the end of the year to determine individual
improvement. Performance assessments will be comprised of the following exercises/events:
1-mile run, sit-ups, shuttle run, push-ups, and flexibility
V. Warm Up/ Cool Down Stretching Instructions

The aims of stretching are to gently lengthen muscles before and after any form of
exercise, and to improve tissue elasticity / flexibility. If done correctly, stretching will help
prevent injuries and increase athletic performance.
The following key points should be remembered while stretching:
- Begin with gradual mobility exercises of all the joints, i.e. simply rotate the wrists, bend the
arms and roll your shoulders.
- Always warm up the body prior to stretching, as this increases blood flow around the body,
which in turn makes the muscles more supple.
- After exercise, slowly bring your heart rate down before you begin stretching. Doing so
prevents blood pooling within your muscles, which can lead to cramp and dizzy spells.
- If youre wet and sweaty, take a bath or shower and then stretch, as the hot water will help
relax the muscles, and prevent you from catching a chill.
- Never bounce while you stretch, unless you are doing specific stretches for certain sports,
i.e. ballistic stretching for martial arts.
- Hold the stretch until you feel the muscle loosen off, then repeat for a further 15 seconds.
- While stretching you should feel some slight discomfort, if you dont feel anything, then you
may be doing the stretch incorrectly, or simply the muscle has eased off.
- Stop immediately if you feel any severe pain.
- Remember to breathe regularly and rhythmically, do not hold your breath.
- If you have a bad memory, start with your legs, and work up the body, in order not to miss
out any of the stretches
VI. Exercise and Safety Considerations
When exercising, cadets need to be aware of the following heat disorders:
Heat Cramps: Painful spasms that occur within skeletal muscle. Pupils often dilate with each
spasm. If heat cramps should occur place firm pressure on cramping muscle with warm wet
towels. Gently stretch the affected muscle and be sure to re-hydrate with a cold sports drink.
Heat Exhaustion: Symptoms include profuse sweating, weakness, dizziness, skin being cool and
wet, an elevated body temperature, possible nausea and vomiting, and headache.
46
When suffering from heat exhaustion move to a cooler environment to avoid further dehydration
through sweat losses. Re-hydrate with a cold sports drink and reduce your body temperature if it
is elevated. For serious cases seek medical attention.
Heat Stroke: Heat strokes are often times accompanied by a greatly elevated body temperature,
and impairment of the central nervous system, which includes confusion, amnesia, ataxia (loss of
balance), incoherent speech, dizziness, delirium, and loss of consciousness. Contrary to common
belief, hot dry skin is not always seen. Instead the individual is often sweating profusely.
Heat stroke is a life and death situation. Should anyone suffer a heat stroke obtain emergency
first aid care immediately. Move the victim into a cooler environment and reduce their body
temperature as quickly as possible with ice cold water and ice packs. Make sure to monitor their
pulse and respiration and administer CPR if necessary.
VII. Wellness Program Recognition
All cadets that participate in the wellness PT program will get the Wellness Ribbon.
VIII. Exercise Descriptions Report
The Physical Exercises:
Push Ups
Place your hands slightly wider than shoulders; keep torso straight and head aligned with spine throughout
the exercise. Lower yourself until your chest comes within 3-5 inches from the floor; (your upper arm
should be parallel with the ground) Press back to starting position. You must rest in the up position. Note:
A score over the max standard for age and gender will be scored as 100%
Start by standing in a normal upright position with your hands on your hips. While keeping your hands on
your hip, step out far enough with your left leg so that your right knee has to drop within an inch of the
floor. Now step back to the upright position and then step out with your right leg until your left knee is an
inch off the floor. Going from left to right one time equals one three count? lunge. However, for testing
one may count each lunge individually, so the process described above would equal two lunges. Note: A
score over the max standard for age and gender will be scored as 100%
1 Mile Run
The 1-mile run should take place on a regulation track. If a track is not available, make sure the
course is well marked and that all runners start at the same mark. Runners should not switch lanes until the
47
200-meter mark if the run is being conducted on a standard 400-meter track. Runners should be stretched
well and hydrated before the run.
V-Sit Reach
Place your feet eight to 12 inches apart on a line marked on the floor. This is the baseline, which will be
crossed by 2 rulers that will be used to measure your flexibility. With palms facing down, place them on
the measuring line. Keep your toes facing upward. As you reach forward, exhale, and reach as far as you
can while staying in good position. Try this three times for practice and the fourth will be recorded. If you
do not cross the base line it will be a negative number reached, and if you cross the baseline it will be
positive numbers reached. Note: A score over the max standard for age and gender will be scored as
100%
Sit-Ups
Lie on your back with legs bent 90 degrees at the knee - the standard "sit-up" position. Cross your arms
and place your hands so that your fingertips touch your shoulders. Have a spotter hold your feet as shown
in photo. Curl your torso so your chest moves toward your knees. Keep your hands on your chest at all
times. The sit-up does not count if your hands come off your chest. You must rest in the up position while
resting. To complete the sit up your shoulder blades must touch the ground. Ones hips or buttock should
not come off the ground to produce momentum. Note: A score over the max standard for age and gender
will be scored as 100%

Subject: Grading Policy for Aerospace Science
(Letter #1)
This information is provided to ensure understanding of how final grades for this course are determined. Quarter
and semester grades that appear on report cards will be a combination of all grades; Academic performance,
grooming, and uniform inspections. They all count together toward the AFJROTC grade. All Grades are based upon
the following scale:
Quarter Grade
Uniform Wear 40%
Leadership Education 25%
Aerospace Education-25%
Physical Fitness 10%
Semester Grade
Quarter 1 40%
Quarter 2 40%
Final Exam 20%
HQ/AFJROTC requires all cadets to wear the Air Force Junior ROTC uniform one day per week to pass the
course. Consequently, failure to wear the uniform (and comply with Air Force grooming standards) or complete a
satisfactory make-up inspection for excused absences (within the required time frame) will result in a failing grade.
If, during one quarter, a cadet misses one uniform inspection, the overall grade will be reduced by approximately one
letter grade. If two are missed, the grade will be reduced by approximately two letter grades. If three are missed, the
grade will be an F. The entire uniform must be professionally dry-cleaned and turned in at least two weeks (or as
prescribed) before the last day of school, or two weeks before the cadets last day of school, if leaving before the end
of the year. The last uniform/inspection grade will be crucial to passing the course. Cadets must turn in the complete
uniform, properly cleaned, to receive a passing grade. Home dry-cleaning kits do not provide adequate cleaning for
turn-in purposes.
Grading for all Aerospace and Leadership academic subjects, tests, workbook assignments, quizzes, essays, open
ranks inspections, and military bearing will be graded on a 0 100% scale.
Some of the crucial aspects relative to this course are courtesy, self-control and self-discipline during any class,
formation, field trip, or bus activity. In order to reinforce this, an infraction can result in reduction of the overall
quarter grade of one to five percentage points per incident.

(Letter #3)

The mission of Air Force Junior ROTC is Developing citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and
community. We teach cadets academic subjects and practical leadership as well. Extra-curricular activities are
included to instill in our cadets a deep sense of patriotism and responsibility. These activities include drill team,
color guard, saber team, fund-raising, physical fitness, community service, participation in ceremonial functions, as
well as various field trips and competitions throughout the year.
This year, our aerospace science instruction will be as follows.
All first year cadets will learn about the history of aviation.
Upper level cadets will learn about survival, space and rocketry.
Leadership Education (LE) will cover the following areas:
Leadership Education I (for all first-year cadets) will address grooming, uniform wear, heritage, organization and
traditions, individual self-control and responsibility, citizenship, as well as health and fitness.
Leadership Education II (for all second, third, and fourth year cadets) will consist of life skills and career
opportunities.
Of course, all cadets will receive a heavy concentration of drill and ceremonies, wellness, and physical
conditioning.
We look forward to a busy and productive year.

Subject: Uniform Requirements, Issue, Maintenance, Grading, and Turn-In
(Letter #4)
Congratulations on having your students enrolled as USAF Junior ROTC cadets. We hope, and sincerely expect,
that you will see a tremendous growth in your cadets during the coming year as a result of their being assigned to the
GR-081st Cadet Corps.
Wearing the cadet uniform and maintaining grooming standards while in uniform are required by HQ USAF a
minimum of one day per week. On occasion, cadets will volunteer to perform in uniform at events such as color
guards, protocol duties, dining-out functions, etc., in addition to their regular scheduled day.
Within the first few days of school, they are issued a complete uniform. They will receive one flight caps, one
necktie/tab, one shirt/blouse, one trouser/slack, service coat, all-weather coat (with liner-optional), one windbreaker,
rank, one cap insignias, belt and buckle, one pair of shoes, as required. When available another set may be issued. If
you notice any problem with any part of the uniform, notify us immediately, not at the end of the year. Inspect each
item carefully. If any item is torn, worn, or soiled, notify us immediately.
The cadets are not charged for the uniforms, nor do they rent them. They are provided, free of charge, by
AFJROTC. The cadet is liable for replacement if the uniforms become lost or stolen, if they become damaged
(through neglect or even by accident), or through improper care. Common problems are washing shirts/blouses with
colored items (especially red or black), washing dark blue items rather than dry-cleaning them, and wearing the
uniform while participating in any athletic activities. One of the biggest problems is misplacing caps, ties, coats, and
shoes. If items are misplaced or damaged, the cadets sponsor must immediately replace them from the Military
Clothing Sales store at Ramstein Air Base.
If any of the dark blue (dry-cleanable only) items need touch-up ironing between dry-cleaning, they may be
pressed lightly with a steam iron on medium heat. If so, an ironing cloth must be used. A hot iron used directly on
the fabric will burn the material or cause it to become shiny, and will require replacement. Please ensure your cadet
knows how to use an iron and an ironing cloth. The sponsor must replace uniforms ruined by improper ironing.
If alterations are necessary (such as hemming pants or sewing on patches) for initial wear, take the uniform to the
TAILOR SHOP near the McDonalds out the Pulaski gate. We will be billed directly from them. All dry-cleaning
and further alterations are the responsibility of the sponsor. Cadets are required to turn in all uniform items two
weeks prior to getting out of the program or at the end of the year. A uniform grade of zero will be given if this
requirement is not met. The entire uniform must be turned in, professionally dry-cleaned. However, professional
cleaning is required prior to turn-in or exchange. Any items with other than fair wear and tear must be replaced.
Cadets must wear the prescribed uniform on Wednesday or Thursday of each week, whichever day they have
JROTC. Any exception to this schedule, such as Commanders Call, Pass-In-Review, etc., will be briefed
thoroughly in advance. They must remain in the uniform from the first bell until the last bell to receive uniform
credit. They may, of course, change out during specific classes, if class activities would damage the uniform.
Examples are: physical fitness training, working with grease or oil, chemical, paints, etc. Additionally, if they work
53
in CWE at a commercial location such as the Exchange, they must change. In these instances, the cadet reports to
class in uniform, then requests permission from the teacher to change clothes. Shortly before the end of that class,
cadets request permission to change back into uniform. Changing clothes does not allow cadets to be tardy for any
class. Exceptions: cadets may carry their uniform into a first period class or carry it out of a last period class if, and
only if, they are required to change clothes for that specific class on that specific day. They are not permitted to
change out of uniform before the bell rings during the last period.
Cadets receive a grade for uniform wear, grooming, proper bearing and behavior on each uniform day (in strict
accordance with USAF and AFJROTC standards). If they meet standards completely, they receive 100%. Points are
deducted for inappropriate haircuts or style, non-conservative make-up or fingernails, unauthorized jewelry, any
jewelry visible around the neck, lack of shoe shines, improper cleaning or hem length, missing items, etc. No makeup inspections are granted for cadets who do not have an excuse from the SAO for missing an inspection (field trip,
family trip, illness). If cadets receive an excused absence from class on inspection day, they must wear the uniform
all day the very next day they attend AFJROTC class. On occasion, cadets are inspected for grooming only.
Examples are: new cadets, not yet fitted or waiting initial alterations, or after the uniforms are tuned in. In these
instances, total grooming (only) will be inspected. The same grades and make-up policy pertains to grooming
inspections as for full uniform inspections. They will receive a grade of 0 100%. One missed inspection will cause
a reduction of approximately one letter grade of their quarterly grade, which will have a serious impact upon their
grade. Missing two inspections will cause a reduction of approximately two letter grades. Uniform wear and
inspection is absolutely mandatory. Missing three inspections will result in a failing grade for the quarter.
A uniform being in the cleaners or in the alteration shop is not an acceptable excuse to miss an inspection.
Part of the cadets leadership training is learning how to schedule themselves and their inspection requirements. This
might require some advice and assistance from the cadets sponsors. On occasion, express service might be
required at the cleaners to meet schedules.
Hopefully, this letter will help cadets and sponsors fully understand the uniform and grooming requirements.
Soon, the cadets will begin to realize the rewards of looking neat and professional by the way their peers and teachers
perceive them when they wear their uniform with pride.
If you desire further explanation of these requirements, do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to working
with you and this years cadets.

Subject: Voluntary Wear of Optional Uniform Items
(Letter #5)
We always receive numerous requests from both cadets and their parents/guardians requesting that cadets be
permitted to purchase and wear optional uniform items.
This year, we have decided to allow, on a trial basis, a number of optional uniform items to be worn by our cadets.
First of all we must make one very important statement. The purchase of any optional uniform item and the wear
of the item is strictly voluntary. Repeat: strictly voluntary! Please do not let your cadet convince you that optional
items are mandatory, recommended, suggested, encouraged, or that they will receive extra credit for wearing them or
lose any credit by not doing so. It is simply not so. This option is intended for those cadets who desire to purchase
the items and who have parents/guardians who are totally in favor of them doing so.
The items listed in this letter will be authorized for cadets who are in good standing and who are passing
AFJROTC. All first-year cadets and transferees are considered passing and in good standing upon arrival to this
unit. Any cadet who receives less than a D for any quarter may not wear optional items until he/she receives a
passing grade for the next quarter.
Optional items may not be worn on a particular day for any particular event if a specific uniform is required (such
as, full service dress uniform for Homecoming Color Guard.)
The following (current issue versions) items are hereby authorized for optional wear:
Cardigan or V-neck sweaters (Male and Female)
Corfam shoes (Male and Female)
Pumps (Females)
Heels not to exceed two inches (Females)
Black plain Gloves with no straps or designs for winter wear (Male and Female)
Black or Dark Blue Earmuffs for winter wear (Male and Female)
Tie tacks/tie bars with the current USAF crest (Male)
If you have any questions pertaining to these options, please do not hesitate to call us.

Subject: Potential Drill Team Parents
(Letter #6)
Congratulations to you for being the parent(s)/guardian(s) of the sharpest and most dedicated cadets of the GR081st AFJROTC cadet group. They always prove to be one of the best teams of cadets we have in the JROTC Corps.
We actually have two types of Drill Teams. First of all, we have the Operational Drill Team. These cadets are
the ones who practice and learn how to perform such duties as Color Guard for all home events, Saber Team for
dances, proms, and homecomings, etc. In practicing for such events, they also learn more proficiency in drill and
ceremonies, thus helping them in their AFJROTC classes as well as in earning credits toward certain ribbons.
Secondly, we have our competition Drill Team, which will be selected later from the operational drill team. From
that team, we will put together: Inspection Team, Color Guard, Regulation Team, Unarmed, Rifle, and Saber Teams.
Those will be the cadets who actually travel to the All-European Drill Competition sometime around mid
March/early April, depending on our HQ inspection schedule. In addition to the European Drill Competition, we
plan to attend the Invitational Drill Competition normally held in November.
Practices for the Invitational Drill Competition will begin in late September every Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday unless stated otherwise from 1530-1730. It would be ideal for cadets to have prior drill team experience or
more than one year in the AFJROTC program. First-year cadets who are interested in becoming a member of the
drill team for the Invitational Drill Competition held in Italy must try out and meet certain requirements. These
requirements include being proficient in drill movements, maintaining good grades in all academic classes and
AFJROTC, maintaining professional military bearing in uniform, and maintaining good conduct. This is mandatory
because we will have minimal time to train first-year cadets during the competition practices.
Starting in late November, our practices will be every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday unless stated otherwise
from 1530 1730 for the European Drill Competition. We will continue keeping that schedule until after winter
break. These practices are recommended for any cadet wishing to join the competition drill team. Cadets attending
these practices will be trained for whichever team they hope to join. Starting in January, we will begin practicing
Monday through Friday as deemed necessary for the teams that will compete in the European Competition. Please
understand that cadets wishing to compete should attend practices in the fall. Prior to drill competition there will be
an all-day Saturday practice. This will be an undress rehearsal (no uniforms). Additionally, we will have one
more all-day practice with a parents briefing.
The drill team strictly follows the Athletic/Academic eligibility requirements: no more than one F and no less
than a 2.0 GPA. Also, the team members will be required to sign a team contract stating that they will not use
tobacco products, alcohol or illegal drugs while on the drill team and that they can be removed from the team if they
violate that contract. They must present a current sports physical prior to practicing for the team.
We are looking forward to a great year. We are already proud of your cadets, as certainly you must be. Thank
you for all the support you provide to your (and our) cadets in all that they do for the school and the community.

Chapter Twelve Uniform Wear

General Information
I. Policy
This guide contains policy and procedural guidance that were compiled from Air Force
Instruction 36-2903 and Air Force JROTC Instruction 36-2001. The material contained herein is
directive in nature; however, it cannot provide rules for every imaginable situation. Therefore,
pride, professionalism, and common sense must sometimes prevail. Kaiserslautern High School
Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets must comply with the uniform wear and personal
appearance standards.
II. Procedure
The Air Force Junior ROTC uniform is, with certain exceptions, the same as that worn by
active-duty personnel. Cadets must constantly be aware of the responsibility for maintaining it in
good order, and wearing it correctly. Each member of the cadet corps must maintain high
standards of dress and personal appearance. Cadets will present a neat and well-groomed
appearance to the public at all times and locations, on and off campus, during, and after the
school day.
After receiving the uniform, cadets will acknowledge receipt of these items by affixing their
signatures to a Uniform Issue Receipt. By signing the receipt cadets agree to exercise all
responsible caution and care to assure that items of Air Force property are cared for and not
damaged due to carelessness, neglect, or improper cleaning and/or laundering methods. Cadets
will be required to reimburse the Air Force for any uniforms lost or damaged due to neglect or
accident. Furthermore, cadets are required to return all uniform items to the ASI upon demand
and at least two weeks prior to leaving the GR-081st AFJROTC Group. All items will be
professionally cleaned prior to turn-in.
AFJROTC 34-1 states that every cadet enrolled in the program is required to wear the cadet
uniform a minimum of once per week. The GR-081st uniform wear day is Wednesday and
Thursday, whichever day your class period falls under according to block scheduling. The
uniform for the following week will be posted by the Deputy Group Commander on a bulletin
board in the classroom.
If a cadet is absent on a uniform day, it is required that the cadet will be in uniform on the
first day of return to JROTC class. It is the responsibility of the cadet to ensure that the make-up
grade is recorded on a make-up inspection form. (Cadets not in uniform on a uniform day must
have permission from the SASI or ASI.) The cadet will receive a zero unless excused. It is the
responsibility of the cadet to ensure that the uniform is available and in inspection condition on a
uniform day. It is in the cleaners or in the alterations ship is not a legitimate excuse.
Cadets will be graded on their uniform appearance, condition, placement of insignia,
condition of shoes, military bearing, and haircut and styles. One missed inspection in any quarter
58
will result in reduction of cadets grade by approximately 10%, two missed inspections will result
in a reduction of approximately 20%, and three missed inspections in any quarter will result in an
F for that term in AFJROTC. If a cadet is doing poorly academically, two missed uniform
inspections could lower the grade to a failing grade.
III. General Guidelines
-
Keep the uniform neat and clean it as necessary

Wear headgear when outdoors, remove it when indoors
Keep all pockets buttoned, coats completely buttoned, and jackets zipped halfway
Do not fill pockets with bulky items
Keep shoes shined, including the heels and edge of the soles
Keep all metal devices, buckles and badges clean and free of scratches
Check your personal appearance in a mirror
Do not leave items unattended or in unlocked or shared lockers
Do not lend items to other cadets
Turn in any found uniform items to an AFJROTC instructor
Return uniform items that become worn or otherwise unserviceable to the ASI. If
unserviceable due to purposeful destruction, it will be replaced by the cadet.
Keep ribbons clean and replace when they become worn or faded
IV. Restrictions
Unless specifically authorized by the Senior Aerospace Science Instructor, cadets will only
wear the uniform while traveling to and from school, to participate in Junior ROTC approved
programs, or while participating in official activities. If parents are driving them to school, they
must cover up the uniform; otherwise if cadets take the school bus, they must carry their uniform
to school and change in the JROTC building before going to their first class of the day. They are
excused up to 10 minutes after the first bell.
-
The uniform will not be mixed or worn with any civilian type clothing
Cadets will not lend their uniform to anyone
Distinctive items of the JROTC uniform (ranks, badges, nametags, etc.) will not be
worn on civilian clothing
The uniform will not be worn while hitchhiking
No soliciting is allowed while in uniform
Cadets will not wear the uniform while participating in student demonstrations, or
crowd control, or in any other inappropriate activity where wear of the uniform may
give the appearance that the Air Force is advocating some political or religious issue
over another
While in uniform, cadets will not exhibit public display of affection (PDA). This
includes, but it not limited to: holding hands, hugging, kissing, etc.
59
Do not wear with other clothing

Do not wear earphones or headphones while in uniform, unless required for duty
V. Issue and Maintenance

Each cadet will be issued a complete uniform at the beginning of each year. After every cadet
is issued a uniform, if available, a second pair of pants/slacks, shirt/blouse, belt, tie/tab, flight cap,
and insignia will be issued. Additionally, a light weight jacket, windbreaker, may be issued.
Once issued, it is the cadets responsibility to maintain all items in a clean and orderly condition
throughout the school year. The service dress coat, lightweight jacket, slacks or pants, tie/tab and
cover are to be professionally dry-cleaned only. The shirt or blouse and socks are the only
washable items. All uniform items must be turned in two weeks prior to the end of the school
year or when a cadet drops from the Air Force Junior ROTC program. The only issued items that
may be kept are the socks, shoes, belt, and PT uniform.

CADET APPEARANCE AND GROOMING GUIDELINES

12.8. Appearance and Grooming. When a cadet wears the uniform, he/she is
responsible for presenting a neat, clean, and professional military image. Appearance
and grooming standards help cadets present the image of disciplined cadets who can be
relied upon to do the job they are called on to do. A professional military image has no
80
room for the extreme, the unusual, or the faddish. The standards for wearing the
uniform consist of five elements: neatness, cleanliness, safety, u n i f o r m i t y a n d
military image. The first four are absolute, objective criteria for the efficiency, h e a l t
h , and well-being of the force. The fifth standard, military image is also very important,
military appearance is subjective, but necessary. People, both military and civilian, draw
conclusions as to the military effectiveness of the Air Force by how they perceive those
in uniform.
NOTE: Berets, Ascots, and Gloves: If used, current members of teams such as: color
guard/honor guard or saber/drill teams may wear the beret, ascots, and/or gloves during
performances only. The colors of these items must be conservative and in good taste. This
applies to blues and ABUs (if worn) only, not flight suits. Ascots and gloves may not be
worn on regular uniform days.
Only items listed in Allowance Standard 016 may be provided by HQ AFJROTC.
Submit any other uniform waiver requests via WINGS by using the waiver module.
The uniform standards in AFI 36-2903 are influenced to some extent by military
tradition, and they reflect the image the Air Force desires to project to the civilian
community. The basic concept of the Air Force uniform is that it is plain but distinctive
dress, with an absolute minimum number of badges, insignia, and devices authorized for
wear on it.
12.8.1. Special Uniform and Appearance Rules. Here are some additional guidelines
about
uniform and appearance.
12.8.1.1. Jewelry. While in uniform, you may wear a wristwatch and rings, but no
more than three rings at any one time. You may wear one bracelet if it is neat and
conservative. However, the bracelet must not detract from military image, must not
be wider than one- half inch, and must not subject anyone to potential injury. You
may not wear ornaments on your head or around your neck. Thumb rings are not
allowed in uniform. Colored bracelets that support a cause are also not allowed.
Female cadets in uniform may wear earrings if the earrings are conservative and
kept within sensible limits. For example, you may wear one small spherical
(diamond, gold,
white pearl, or silver) pierced or clip earring on each earlobe. The earring worn in
each earlobe must match. Earrings should fit tightly without extending below the
earlobes, unless they are clip earrings. Male cadets in uniform may not wear earrings.
12.8.1.2.
Eyeglasses or Sunglasses. If you wear glasses, they must not have any
ornaments on the frames or lenses. Eyeglass lenses that are conservative, clear,
slightly tinted, or have photosensitive lenses may be worn in uniform while indoors

eyeglasses must have
lenses are prohibited.
Neither eyeglasses nor
formation. When outdoors and in uniform, sunglasses and

lenses and frames that are conservative; faddish or mirrored
Sunglasses are not allowed while in a military formation.
sunglasses can be worn around the neck while in uniform.
12.8.1.3. Tattoos or Brands. Whether you are in or out of uniform, tattoos or brands
anywhere on the body are not allowed if they are obscene or if they advocate sexual,
racial, ethnic, or religious discrimination. Tattoos or brands that might harm good
order and discipline or bring discredit upon the Air Force are also barred, whether you
are in or out of uniform.
Excessive tattoos or brands, even though they do not violate the prohibitions in the
above paragraph, will not be exposed or visible (including visible through the
uniform) while in uniform. Excessive is defined as any tattoo or brands that exceed
one-quarter of the exposed body part, and those above the collar bone and readily
visible when wearing an open collar uniform.
The SASI may exercise discretion if a new cadet arrives with a tattoo that may not
be in full compliance with the above guidance. The tattoo may be covered up with a
skin- colored bandage while in uniform and still participate in the program. However,
tattoos and brands should be discouraged. The cadet should be counseled on the fact
that tattoos and brands may preclude him or her from serving in the military.
12.8.1.4.Body Piercing. Cadets in uniform are not allowed to attach or display objects,
articles, jewelry, or ornamentation to or through the ear, nose, tongue, or any exposed
body part (including anything that might be visible through the uniform). Female
cadets in uniform, however, are allowed to wear conservative earrings, pierced or clip
style, in their earlobes.

Specific Female Cadet Grooming Guidelines.

longer than the bottom of the collar edge at the back of the
neck. Your hairstyle must be conservativeno extreme or faddish
styles are allowed. It should also look professional and allow you
to wear uniform headgear in the proper manner, so your hair
must not be too full or too high on the head. In addition, your
hairstyle shouldnt need many grooming aids. If you use pins,
combs, barrettes, elastic bands or similar items, they must be plain,
similar in color to your hair, and modest in size. Wigs or
hairpieces must also conform to these guidelines.
Hair will not contain excessive amount of grooming aids, touch eyebrows. Hair color/
highlights/frosting (must not be faddish). Examples of natural looking for human

top and bottom of the kneecap. Your skirt should fit smoothly,
should hang naturally, and must not be excessively tight. You
must wear hosiery with the skirt. Choose a sheer nylon in a
neutral dark brown, black, off-black, or dark blue shade that
complements the uniform and your skin tone.

Specific Male Cadet Grooming Guidelines.

only the closely cut or shaved hair on the back of your neck should

Your hair should not exceed 1 14 inch in bulk regardless of the length. Bulk is the
distance that the hair projects from the scalp when groomed (as opposed to length

Air Force headgear properly, and it must not protrude below the front band of the
headgear. Your hair must have a tapered appearance on both sides and back, both
with and without headgear. A tapered appearance means that, when viewed from
any angle, the outline of the hair on the side and back will generally match the shape
of the skull, curving inward to the end point.
Your hair may not contain or have attached to it any visible foreign items. If you dye
your hair, it should look natural. You may not dye your hair an unusual color or one
that contrasts with your natural coloring. You may have sideburns if they are neatly
trimmed and tapered in the same manner as your haircut. Sideburns must be straight
and of even width (not flared)
and end in a clean-shaven horizontal line. They may not extend below the lowest part of
