Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Corp (AFJROTC) Awareness Presentation Team

Our involvement in this social issue awareness and training brings our corps favorable publicity and is a valuable social service to the community. Cadets can earn an APT badge to wear on the uniform if they participate in three events. Authorized membership cord is blue and silver.

Color Guard Commander will be a cadet selected by the SASI/ASI who has normally been on the team in the past, has exhibited leadership qualities, and is a "model" cadet in both behavior and uniform wear and personal appearance.

Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Corp (AFJROTC) Drill Team

Purpose

Cadets who enjoy drill, "polish" their drill skills learned in the leadership laboratory and form a drill team that performs in local and area wide drill competitions and demonstrations. Drill practice will normally be two times a week immediately after school with more practices as needed. Participation, like the Color Guard, requires an extra commitment from cadets ,since they will spend many hours learning the manual of arms, perfecting close-order teamwork, practicing standardized movements, developing "free-style" movements, and taking care of their uniform. During competitions, drill precision, uniform, and personal appearance is scored. Drill Team Commander will be a cadet selected by the SASI/ASI who has normally been on the team in the past, has exhibited leadership qualities, and is a "model" cadet in both behavior and uniform wear and personal appearance.

Normal Meeting day/time: Every Monday and Tuesday; 1445
