AIR FORCE CORE VALUES

Integrity First. Service Before Self, and Excellence In All We Do

THE AIR FORCE SONG by Robert Crawford

1. Off we go into the wild blue yonder, 2. Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder, Climbing high into the sun; Sent it high into the blue; Here they come zooming to meet our thunder, Hands of men blasted the world asunder; At 'em boys, give 'er the gun How they lived God only knew! Down we dive spouting our flames from under Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer Off with one helluva roar! * Gave us wings, ever to soar! We live in fame or go down in flame, hey! With scouts before and bombers galore, hey! Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force! Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

Bridge Here's a toast to the host of those who love 3. Off we go into the wild blue yonder, the vastness of the sky, Keep the wings level and true. To a friend we will send a message If you'd live to be a gray-haired wonder of his brother, men who fly Keep the nose out of the blue! We drink to those who gave their all of old; Flying men guarding the nation's border, Then down we roar, We'll be there, followed by more! to score the rainbow's pot of gold In echelon we carry on, hey! A toast to the host of men we boast, Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force the U.S. Air Force!

Airman’s Creed

I am an American Airman. I am a warrior.

I have answered my nation's call.

I am an American Airman. My mission is to fly, fight, and win. I am faithful to a proud heritage,

A tradition of honor, And a legacy of valor.

I am an American Airman, Guardian of freedom and justice, My nation's sword and shield,

Its sentry and avenger. I defend my country with my life.

I am an American Airman; Wingman, leader, warrior.

I will never leave an airman behind, I will never falter, And I will not fail.

BY ORDER OF AFROTC HEADQUARTERS CADET HANDBOOK _______________________________________________

This Cadet Handbook was prepared to provide a standard of performance expected for the Cadets of the Hamilton High School Air Force Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (AFJROTC) that permits the entire cadet corps to work toward a common goal that will earn PRIDE in achievement and make our unit the best unit in the AFJROTC program. This handbook serves as a reference for the myriad of tasks a cadet may encounter on a day-to-day basis.

This handbook was developed on an assumption that most cadets will voluntarily work to improve their unit if they are aware of the goals of the unit. The goals of the Hamilton High School AFJROTC Group appear as a mission in the General Provisions Statement.

Cadets are responsible for the information in this handbook. Cadet Boards, assessments and promotion examinations will include questions concerning data herein.

In order to have the BEST AFJROTC unit in the United States Air Force, you should read and fully understand the contents of this handbook, then place into practice the standards it contains.

SUMMARY OF REVISIONS

This handbook has been revised somewhat from the last printing in 2012, incorporating changes throughout the book. All previous editions of the HHS Cadet Handbook are obsolete.

Section 1C—Cadet Enrollment 1.5. Conditions for Enrollment and Training: 1.5.1. Before a student can be enrolled in AFJROTC he/she must be: 1.5.1.1. Eligible to enroll in a regular course of instruction at Hamilton High School. 1.5.1.2. A citizen of the United States. (Provisions exist for SASI to enroll non-citizens) 1.5.1.3. At least in the 9th grade. 1.5.1.4. Physically fit to undergo junior ROTC training under standards prescribed by the Department of the Air Force. 1.5.1.5. Selected by the SASI with the approval of the principal. Section 1E—Credits, Certificates, and Methods of Grading 1.6. Credit towards graduation: 1.6.1. Aerospace Science is an elective course of instruction and one (1) elective credit will be received toward graduation for each year successfully completed. 1.6.2. Methods of Grading: The Aerospace Science grade is broken into 3 parts. Aerospace activities account for 40% of your grade, Leadership activities account for 40% and the final 20% comes from your participation in Health and Wellness, known as Physical Training (PT). Aerospace activities include: classroom, activities, i.e.; homework, projects, and examinations. Leadership activities include: classroom related work, uniform inspections, drill, and personal behavior. PT scores are based on participation and achievement of fitness goals. 1.7. Certificate of Completion: 1.7.1 An AFJROTC Certificate of Completion is presented to each cadet who successfully completes three or more years of the program.

1.7.2. A Training Certificate is presented to each cadet who successfully completes two years of the program.

1.7.3. Both certificates will be of value when applying for college ROTC programs. The Certificate of Completion will ensure enlistment at a higher pay grade in any military branch of the Department of Defense.

1.8. Cadet Academic Grading

1.8.1. As in all formal education situations, a means of evaluating the progress of the student is required. Hamilton High School uses a letter grading system. This system is applied in the AFJROTC program as follows: 100% - 90% A 89% - 80% B 79% - 70% C 69% - 60% D 59% and below F

AZ-862 21July 2013

1.8.2. You will be given hands-on experience in being "in-charge" in some aspect of your leadership training. All cadets are expected to assume command in situations where such is required. You are expected to step forward and act, don’t wait for somebody else to do it. Your performance in these hands on experiences may be reflected on your grade however, conversely your failure to act on behalf of your group may also affect your grade.

1.8.3. Your good conduct and adherence to rules and regulations are scrutinized through the merit and demerit system and are reflected in your leadership grade and. Merits may raise your academic grade by percentage points; conversely, demerits can lower your academic grade by percentage points. 1.8.4. Tests and quizzes shall be given. They may be essays, true or false, multiple choice, short answer, fill in the blank or matching. Assignments will be given and take on various forms from the curriculum. Detailed information is contained in the syllabus. 1.8.5. NOTE Attendance at the following activities may be required for grading purposes, as determined by the SASI: Military Ball, Dining-Out/Dining-In, Awards Night, Color Guards, Formal Retreat, Parade, Change of Command and certain community service projects. The SASI determines the time and date for these functions

1.9. Extra Credit & Academic Work:

1.9.1. For those cadets who have a low grade and would like to raise it to a more acceptable level, the SASI or ASI may assign extra credit academic work. Usually, extra credit work may be in the form of an assignment or activity. Monitor your progress so that if you need extra credit, you will have time to complete it before the established deadline.

1.10. Arizona Interscholastic Association: 1.10.1. The rules of the Arizona Interscholastic Association apply to AFJROTC. A full understanding of the following is crucial: 1.10.1.1. If in competition under AIA rules, cadets must submit to random drug testing 1.10.1.2. Attendance in class must be on a regular basis. 1.10.1.3. Good citizenship must be displayed at all times. 1.10.1.4. All cadets must pass all classes to be eligible to compete in activities. Therefore: 1.10.1.4.1. Any cadet that fails to successfully pass any academic course of instruction for any 4 1/2 week period will be placed on probation insofar as duties in the corps are concerned. The cadet will also be excluded from competition in AIA-ruled events until such time as the cadet is passing and has met AIA rules of eligibility. 1.10.1.4.2. Any cadet placed on probation in the cadet corps who still has a failing grade by the end of the next 4 1/2 week period shall be removed from the assigned position and demoted to their permanent grade. Cadets who have held cadet officer rank for two or more semesters may revert to c/2nd Lieutenant at the discretion of the SASI.

2.3. Permanent Cadet Grade: 2.3.1. Each cadet shall be appointed to a permanent grade based on their high school year group: Freshmen cadets will be c/Airman; Sophomore cadets shall be c/Airman First Class; Juniors will be c/Senior Airman and Seniors (at the discretion of the SASI) can c/Staff Sergeant. The retention of an appointed permanent grade by a cadet requires satisfactory performance and behavior. Cadets who fail to maintain satisfactory standards, progress, or behavior may be reduced in permanent grade (as determined) by the SASI. (Example: A cadet who fails to wear the uniform on required days may be reduced in grade.) Reductions in grade will be specified in a written record that shall be filed in the individual cadet's personnel record. 2.3.2. 1st Year students who opt to not wear the uniform are referred to as Basics and are not given rank. 2.4. Temporary Cadet Grade: 2.4.1. Cadets selected to serve in a staff or flight position listed on the UMD shall be promoted to a grade commensurate with the position. Normally, the initial temporary grade shall be one grade lower than that authorized for the position. Normally, cadet officers shall initially be promoted to Cadet Second Lieutenant and subsequently promoted to higher grades according to the promotion system. The grades listed for each position in the UMD shall normally be the highest grade to which the cadet in that position can be promoted. However, in order to reward exceptional performance, an accelerated promotion may be awarded. Ideally, all Cadet Officer Positions will be held by 3rd and 4th year cadets, and all NCOIC positions will be held by 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year cadets. However, exceptions may occur based on leadership potential. 2.5. Selection for Staff and Flight Positions: 2.5.1. The selection of personnel for Staff and Flight positions will be based on academic grades; leadership grades demonstrated abilities, Arizona Interscholastic Association rules compliance, the individual's desire to fulfill the duties of the position, recommendations from current staff officers, and qualities deemed appropriate and applicable by the SASI in consultation with the ASI. The "whole person" concept is the ruling criteria. 2.6. Termination of Assignments to a Staff or Flight Position: 2.6.1. Cadets will be relieved from staff or flight positions for the following conditions: 2.6.1.1. Transfer from the AFJROTC program. 2.6.1.2. Illness or injury that prohibits the cadet from fulfilling the responsibilities of the position. Cadets relieved for this reason shall retain their temporary grade until the end of the academic year or until the termination of the illness or injury, whichever occurs first. 2.6.1.3. Resignation: Cadets assigned to staff or flight positions may resign from them. A letter of resignation will be submitted to the SASI and the Group Commander requesting termination of the assignment for the reasons cited in the letter of resignation. Cadets whose resignations are accepted will automatically revert to their permanent grade. Cadets who have held cadet officer rank for two or more semesters may revert to the rank of Cadet/2nd Lieutenant at the discretion of the SASI. 2.6.1.4. For Cause or Reason: Cadets relieved for cause or reason will be notified verbally and in writing of the reasons for their being relieved from the position by the SASI. The cadet may ask for a hearing with the SASI. The letter of notification and the written account of the hearing shall be filed in the cadet's personnel record. The following conditions may be used as reasons for termination: 2.6.1.4.1. Failure to perform duties of the assigned position.

2.10. The Chain-of-Command 2.10.1. The "Chain-of-Command'' is established to accommodate all who desire to accomplish a task that is out-of-the-ordinary or to seek redress or a satisfactory termination of a grievance or an alleged miscarriage of justice. In other words, if you feel that you have not been given due consideration, have been treated unfairly, or somehow you feel that you were wronged and you have not gotten satisfactory responses from those that could correct the situation, then the correct procedure is to go "up the chain-of-command,” one step at a time. For example, if you feel that you should have been promoted, received a staff position, or a national award, use the chain-of-command to get an answer and/or to correct the situation. In an organized society such as we have in the United States of America, there is an accepted procedure to follow when restitution or retribution is sought. For example, in your house, a parent is the final authority; in the AFJROTC program, the Aerospace Science Instructor (SASI) is the final authority; and in our judicial system the Supreme Court is the final authority. Naturally, the steps you go through to get to that final authority vary by each circumstance. 2.10.2. Table 2.2. shows the steps to use if you desire to "right a perceived wrong". Start at the lowest echelon to address the situation, rather than "jumping over" a step in the chain of command. It is only good manners to let those at each step try to rectify the perceived wrong. Note that the subject matter will determine which route above the Principal you should take your problem. Note: Cadets may go directly to the SASI/ASI for matters that are not directly related to the operation of the corps.

Section 2B—Conduct and Discipline

2.11. Orders 2.11.1. Orders may be verbal or written. They will, in some cases, be sent to the classrooms in the form of notices/announcements. The general procedure for announcing orders will be to post them on the bulletin board(s). 2.11.2. If every subordinate were to question the fairness, justice, propriety or wisdom of orders received from any authorized source, there would be no discipline and the AFJROTC unit and your school would soon degenerate. Remember, a cadet must obey lawful orders first and, if aggrieved, register a complaint to the appropriate superior later. 2.11.3. Orders concerning AFJROTC activities, which are issued by competent authority, MUST BE OBEYED IMPLICITLY. 2.11.4. One of the primary purposes of AFJROTC training is to develop leadership ability and the capacity to command. To command, one must first learn to obey. The well-trained cadet is respectful to the wishes of his/her superiors, regardless of how informally they may be expressed. The ideal cadet is a person who finds no task too small to be faithfully performed, is honest, dependable and courteous.

2.12. Military Discipline 2.12.1. Military discipline is an outward manifestation of mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctively under all conditions. It is founded on respect for and loyalty to properly constituted authority. Do not confuse military discipline with punishment. 2.12.2. Discipline comes from a Latin word which means learning. The dictionary defines it as "training which corrects, molds, strengthens, or perfects" It has no connotations of punishment as many persons erroneously believe. 2.12.3. As you were growing up; you learned to obey your parents and teachers. They taught you respect for the rights of others and the laws of your country. This is a part of discipline. 2.12.4. Being disciplined means that you are learning to place the tasks of your unit or your team above your personal desires. It means that you are learning to obey the orders of your leaders promptly and cheerfully, so that even in their absence you will observe established rules and conduct yourself properly. 2.12.5. In training, your leaders will insist on perfection in what may seem to be minor details (cleanliness, shoeshine, marching, wearing of the uniform). Your performance will be expected to be of the highest standards on and off the school campus. You are expected to conduct yourself at all times in a manner which will reflect credit on yourself, your parents, your AFJROTC unit, your school, and the United States Air Force, 2.12.6. When necessary, the following means will be employed to enforce standards: 2.12.6.1. Demerits 2.12.6.2. Detention 2.12.6.3. Reduction in academic grade 2.12.6.4. Demotion 2.12.6.5. Suspension from School 2.12.6.6. Dismissal from the AFJROTC unit, the school or both.

2.13. Conduct and Military Courtesy 2.13.1. While in uniform, all members of the cadet corps are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will reflect credit upon themselves, their parents, their school, the cadet corps and the United States Air Force. Courtesy is nothing more than the display of good manners and politeness in dealing with other people. The only distinction between military courtesy and civilian courtesy is the form of expression by the military, which has become one of the customs and traditions of the service. 2.13.2. The hand salute is one of the most visible forms of military courtesy, and is simply the military way of saying "Hello”. It is also the custom to say "Good Morning/Afternoon/ Evening, Sir; or Ma'am," when exchanging salutes. Cadets in uniform WILL salute cadet officers, commissioned officers and warrant officer of the Armed Forces of the United States as well as friendly nations. 2.13.3 Upon entrance of a visiting commissioned officer into a classroom when the SASI/ASI is not present, the first cadet to see the arrival will call the room to attention. All cadets will assume the position of attention

AZ-862 21July 2013

17

until directed otherwise. If a visiting officer enters a classroom and the SASI/ASI is present, the instructor will determine the need to call the class to attention. 2.13.4. When determining seniority, cadet Officers take precedence over cadet NCOs and cadet Airmen. Cadet NCOs take precedence over cadet airmen. Within the same rank determine which cadet has first, the most time in grade (rank) second, the most time in the corps and third, age. 2.14. AFJROTC Cadet Role and Relationships 2.14.1. The job of leading is one of responsibility and hard work, yet most leaders thrive on this type of demand. The Air Force Junior ROTC is no exception. Cadet officers lead their units just as Air Force officers and non-commissioned officers lead their organizations. Cadet officers formulate plans and see to it that the AFJROTC unit accomplishes its mission. If the cadet officers succeed, the cadet unit succeeds. The AFJROTC unit in the most modern school in the country may flounder if its cadet officers do not properly lead, On the other hand, an AFJROTC unit in an older school with poorer facilities can be the best in the country if it has a competent cadet officer corps. 2.14.2. Cadet Officer Relationship: Much of your role as a cadet officer will deal with relationships --relationships between you and the cadet airmen, between you and cadet NCO's, between you and your junior cadet officers, and between you and your instructors. 2.14.2.1. Cadet Officer-Enlisted Cadet Relationship: Difficulties encountered in AFJROTC cadet officer-enlisted cadet relationships. 2.14.2.1.1. New cadet officers are always warned against over-familiarity and striving for personal popularity with subordinates. The cadet officer who presents an "old buddy" image to his/her subordinates may have trouble when he/she wants to get something done. 2.14.2.1.2. On the other hand, the cadet officer who goes to the other extreme may face as many difficulties, if unapproachable. Some new cadet officers believe that there is a taboo against talking to subordinates except in the line of duty. This is not so. In fact, you must talk to them if you are to establish the proper relationship. 2.14.2.1.3. So what is your attitude as a cadet officer? You must attain a rapport between yourself and your subordinates. You must strive to know the personality and character of the cadets you supervise. You must be sympathetic to what their needs or wants are, but you must let them know what is expected of them and you must insist on the correct cadet responses. In effect, the relationship should be cordial but mutually respectful. The cadet should respect you, and you should respect the cadet. 2.14.2.2. Cadet Officer-Cadet NCO Relationships: Much that can be said about the cadet officer-enlisted cadet relationship can be said of the cadet officer-cadet NCO relationship. Beyond that, however, you must know what to expect from your cadet NCO's. The cadet NCO is an essential link in the AFJROTC program. The effectiveness of cadet NCOs depends to a great extent on the support he or she receives from his/her superiors. This includes you. The cadet NCO can relieve you of many duties and can be a never-ending source of help. As a cadet officer, you should observe the following rules concerning your relationship with a cadet NCO: 2.14.2.2.1. Expect much from your cadet NCO; let your cadet NCO know that you depend on him/her as an assistant.

AZ-862 21July 2013

18

2.14.2.2.2. Give your cadet NCO the responsibility and authority to go along with his/her ability. If you give responsibility without the necessary authority to get the job done, your cadet NCO will have a difficult time in getting the job done in the manner you expect. 2.14.2.2.3. Be loyal to your cadet NCO. Support your cadet NCO in what he/she tries to do. If his/her actions are improper, take the cadet aside and privately advise him/her of anticipated problems and appropriate actions. The cadet NCO needs your backing to get his/her job done. 2.14.2.2.4. Let your cadet NCO know how he/she is doing. Occasionally discuss their strengths and weaknesses with him/her. Try to build on strengths and overcome weaknesses. 2.14.2.2.5. Listen to your cadet NCO's suggestions and recommendations. If suggestion is sound, give the cadet NCO the authority to implement it, or do it yourself. 2.14.2.2.6. Give your cadet NCO credit when credit is due. 2.14.2.2.7. Discuss relevant problems with your cadet NCO. In many cases, the cadet NCO will know more about certain matters than you will.

2.14.2.2.8. Never place the blame on your cadet NCO. In the final analysis, you make the decisions. Therefore, the responsibility is yours. 2.14.2.3. Cadet Officer- Cadet junior Officer Relationship: The discussion above applies equally to your relationship with your junior officers. 2.14.2.4 Cadet Officer-Superior Relationship: Giving orders and supervising subordinates will take much of your time, but an important part of your work must be conducted with persons of higher rank. The activities of each AFJROTC unit must be coordinated, if not by the cadet in command, by the SASI/ASI. You must be prepared to carry orders out promptly. Just as the cadet NCO must nourish respectful association with cadet officers, so must you avoid over-familiarity with higher grade cadet officers and with instructor personnel at your school, Your best friend may be your cadet officer; proper communication/association must be maintained during class, even though you may live next door to, or perhaps have a dating relationship with a cadet. 2.14.2.5. Cadet Officer--Unit Relationship: Getting others to work for you is your primary responsibility in the cadet officer-unit relationship. 2.14.2.5.1. Whether you are in charge of a handful of cadets or the whole cadet corps, you must marshal your discipline, tact, and justice, to get the cadets to do what you ask. You must know your subordinates well enough to be able to place them in positions in the unit were they will do the best job. This is because it is up to you to see that your unit accomplishes its designed mission: You cannot do it alone. 2.14.2.5.2. Working with your unit will give you experience in managing people and resources, a formidable task for the best Air Force officers. Simply, if you can instill in your subordinates a spirit of cooperation, mold them into a team, and encourage them to work for you and with one another, you will be a capable manager and leader and you will have a good relationship with your unit.

CHAPTER 3

THE AFJROTC UNIFORM Section3A—History of the Uniform 3.1. The Uniform 3.1.1. The history of the uniform can be traced back before the Romans when the feudal kings dressed their serfs in a distinctive uniform. The Roman use of uniforms is the earliest account of an entire nation dressing alike. All Roman citizens, to set them apart from the slaves, wore the Roman toga, a loose outer garment. The togas were of different colors according to the rank of the wearer 3.1.2. Each period in history made its own changes to the uniform. The early armies dressed according to the type of job they performed in their organization. The infantryman wore a uniform that would offer him the most protection; the cavalryman wore a lightweight uniform that would not hinder his mobility. The English Parliament decided to raise and outfit an army in the seventeenth century. The uniform was standardized in make, color and insignia. 3.1.3. The first uniform styles were adapted from civilian dress and featured primarily the same dress as civilian people: pants, stockings, waist coat (shirt), shoes or boots, and a large overcoat. Personnel in all services today wear almost the same uniform. The style and color of the uniform has changed to meet the need at a particular time and also to lend esprit de corps to the different services. 3.1.4. Decorations on the early uniforms were to show a single landlord's army. It was not until the period from 1918 to 1940 that uniform decorations gradually became useful. The decorations were used to show the branch of service, the job specialty, such as armor division, paratroopers, and air corps. Each division had its own patches, badges, insignia, and other markings. When the Air Force became a separate branch of service, on 18 Sep 1947, it adopted a blue uniform. The Air Force philosophy is that the uniform be plain, distinctive and standardized. 3.1.5. As you can see throughout history a uniform sets a person apart, and the attention to personal appearance while in it are what mark your level of personal pride. Whether you are dressed in your AFJROTC uniform or your civilian clothing, you should present a neat, clean, and acceptable appearance. The military uses uniforms so that each individual can dress to the same acceptable standard. Section 3B—Dress and Personal Appearance of AFJROTC Cadets 3.2. The Cadet and the Uniform 3.2.1. Your uniform, no matter how handsomely tailored, will not present a good appearance unless you present a good appearance. Good appearance requires certain checks before wearing the uniform in public. The standards are established in AFI 36-2903, Dress and Appearance of Air Force Personnel and AFJROTC Cadet Uniform and Award Guide. This handbook highlights the basic requirements for uniform wear: 3.2.1.1. Figures 3.1 through 3.11 located at the end of this chapter illustrate AFJROTC uniforms, uniforms item, and the correct placement of items on the uniform. 3.2.1.2. Table 3.2. explains the grading process for uniform wear.
