CURRICULUM-IN-ACTION (CIA) TRIPS. CIA trips directly support or serve as an extension of the AFJROTC curriculum. TX-20006 engages in various activities, e.g., trips to NASA, high/low ropes confidence course at the Newcombe Ranch, Ellington Field, etc. Cadets selected to attend must be in good standing academically and in their personal conduct. Enrollment in AFJROTC does NOT automatically assure that a cadet will be allowed to participate in these trips.

AWARDS BANQUET/MILITARY BALL. This formal activity occurs in the spring. The event serves three

purposes: 1). Recognize and bid farewell to our graduating seniors; 2). Recognize deserving cadets with the award of ribbons and national and other special awards; 3). Provide an opportunity for cadets to interact socially at the military ball. Cadets plan the entire function and serve in traditional functions that support the evening’s activities. Participation by all cadets is mandatory. Parents/guardians/families are invited and strongly encouraged to attend.

FUND RAISING. Fund raising activities are necessary to support many of our activities, e.g., awards banquet/military ball, transportation for various trips (Texas A & M, Bush Library trip, senior trip, etc.), unit events, etc. All cadets are encouraged/expected to participate in unit fund raising activities; all cadets benefit in some way. Request that parents/guardians encourage

their sons/daughters to participate in these activities. Family members’ involvement is gladly accepted if their work conditions/rules allow.

SCHOOL/COMMUNITY SERVICE. Allows cadets to demonstrate “Service before Self” through active

participation in school/community support activities. These activities are planned, organized and executed by the cadet unit under the supervision of TX-20006 instructors. This service is one of the top priorities of our unit. The goal is to get maximum cadet participation in each event. School/community service builds character and perspective, and provides skills to be used later in life. Cadets will have numerous opportunities to participate in AFJROTC-sponsored community/school service during the school year.

CADET LEADERSHIP COURSE (CLC). CLCs are AFJROTC-sponsored activities normally conducted during the month of June. They usually last a period of five to seven days; TX-20006 normally selects 30 to 35 cadets to attend. Sponsoring units allocate a certain number of slots to units wishing to participate.

CURRICULUM-IN-ACTION TRIPS. CIA trips directly support or serve as an extension of the AFJROTC curriculum. TX-20006 engages in various activities, e.g., trips to NASA, high/low confidence course at the Newcombe Ranch, Ellington Field, etc. Cadets selected to attend must be in good standing academically and in their personal conduct. Enrollment in AFJROTC does not automatically assure that a cadet will be allowed to participate in these trips.

AWARDS BANQUET/MILITARY BALL. This formal activity occurs in the spring. The event serves three purposes: 1). Recognize and honor our graduating seniors; 2). Recognize deserving cadets with the award of ribbons and national and other special awards; 3). Provide an opportunity for cadets to interact socially at the military ball. Cadets plan the entire function and serve in traditional functions that support the evening’s activities. Participation by all cadets is mandatory. Parents/guardians/families/friends are invited and strongly encouraged to attend.

FUND RAISING. Fund raising activities are necessary to support many of our activities, e.g., awards banquet/military ball, transportation for various trips (Texas A & M, Bush Library, senior trip, etc.), other unit events, etc. All cadets are encouraged/expected to participate in fund raising activities; all cadets benefit in some way. Request that parents/guardians encourage their sons/daughters to participate in these activities. Family members’ involvement is gladly accepted if their work conditions/rules allow.

SCHOOL/COMMUNITY SERVICE. Allows cadets to demonstrate “Service before Self” through active participation in school/community support activities. These activities are planned, organized and executed by the unit cadets under the supervision of TX-20006 instructors. This service is one of the top priorities of our unit. The goal is to get maximum cadet participation in each event. School/community service builds character and perspective, and provides skills to be used later in life. Cadets will have numerous opportunities to participate in AFJROTC-sponsored community/school service during the school year.

CADET LEADERSHIP CORSE (CLC). CICs are AFJROTC-sponsored activities normally conducted during the month of June. They usually last a period of five to seven days; TX-20006 normally selects 30 to 35 cadets to attend. Sponsoring units allocate a certain number of slots to units wishing to participate. Selection to these CLCs is highly competitive. ONLY THE MOST OUTSTANDING CADETS ARE SELECTED. Selection is based on academics, leadership potential, unit participation and contribution to the success of TX-20006.
