The Air Force Song
Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At 'em boys, Give 'er the gun!
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one helluva roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

Mission of Sullivan South High
School’s Air Force Junior ROTC
The Air Force Junior ROTC program provides instruction, experience, and
motivation to each cadet so that they will graduate from high school with the
knowledge, character, and qualities of leadership essential to their
progressive development as a concerned and productive citizen in the United
States of America.
As a minimum goal, the JROTC Program will accomplish its mission by
providing each cadet with:
a. The encouragement and support to complete their high school education.
b. A knowledge of and appreciation for the military, particularly the Air
Force, its capabilities and limitations, and the role it plays in the defense of
the nation.
c. High ideals of individual integrity, patriotism, loyalty, and honor.
d. A sense of responsibility and dedication to selfless and honorable
citizenship.
[1]
Cadet Honor Code
"I will not lie, steal, cheat,
nor tolerate among us anyone who does.”
As a cadet, you set an example for others to follow. Your character must not only be
above reproach, but must be strong enough to sustain you in stressful situations; others will
not follow someone they cannot trust.
Doing what is right is frequently difficult. Sometimes you have to pay a high price
for having the courage to stand by your convictions. You, as a cadet, must believe in
yourself and in what is right. Being a leader with integrity involves having to make tough
decisions and being able to carry them out without favoritism.
If you tolerate violations, you are as guilty as the one who commits the offense.
Through-out life you will face temptations and urges that will encourage you to abandon
your ideals. Some people have no problem with matters of conscience, choosing not to be
ethical. Winning at all costs, when all is said and done, the advantages are usually shortlived and the costs high.
The CADET HONOR CODE is the cornerstone for ethical training. It is a minimum
standard from which a cadet can evaluate and build on their moral character.
Make the HONOR CODE and personal INTEGRITY part of your life. By
observing the CADET HONOR CODE, you will prepare yourself for the rigors of life and
leadership. It will play a vital role in the never-ending development of your character. By
developing your integrity, you will be adhering to a common thread that links cadets of the
past, present, and future. Developing your INTEGRITY will enable you and others to
accomplish the tremendous tasks you will be asked to do. (Courtesy KY-933)
*I will love and revere my God and country.
*I will respect and be loyal to my school and its teaching staff.
*I will refrain from any act or use of any word that would bring
disrespect upon myself, my school, or my fellow cadets.
*I will apply myself to the best of my ability in academics,
athletics, and military drill.
*I will assist others in the path of right doing and discourage them
from wrongful habits.

Core Values
In the USAF and in JROTC we live by this set of core values
that guide our every action and behavior. The Core Values
define us as people who can be counted on in any situation.
The success of our program depends on their application.
Integrity First
An unfaltering devotion to honesty, truthfulness, doing
one’s duty, and doing what’s right, even when no one is
looking.
Service Before Self
Our professional duty and duty to the larger group take
precedence over our personal desires.
Excellence in All We Do
We have a sustained passion for continuous improvement
and innovation that will propel us into an upward spiral of
accomplishment and performance.
[3]
Classroom Rules
1. Be on time - promptness is a military tradition.
2. Stand at parade rest - when you enter the classroom set your notebook and books on/under your desk.
Stand at parade rest next to your chair until the bell rings. The Flight Commander will call the flight to
attention, take role from the Element Leaders, and report in to the instructor. The instructor will then tell
you to take seats.
3. Chewing gum in class is permitted as long as it is not noticeable and is not deposited on the furniture.
There is absolutely no chewing gum when in ranks for an inspection or for drill, color guard, saber team,
etc. Gum will not be chewed at anytime when you are in uniform.
4. No moving about the classroom unless approved by the instructor/Flight Commander. This means no
getting up to throw papers away, go talk to a friend in another seat, etc. There will be times after your work
is completed that you will be allowed to move about freely in the classroom.
5. No talking when others are talking. This means no talking during announcements, when the instructor
is talking, or when a fellow cadet is talking. Proper respect will be given to the person talking;
interruptions will not be allowed unless done in the proper manner. Raise your hand to be recognized.
6. Harassment. Any type of harassment, sexual or otherwise, will not be tolerated among cadets or
between cadets and any other students.
7. NO Hazing. Hazing of cadets is strictly prohibited. Any type of physical or mental abuse and
punishment is prohibited.
Golden Rules
1. Respect - have respect for yourself and your fellow cadets.
2. Deeds - Not Words - judge people by what they do, not just by what they say.
3. No Excuses - don't make excuses - make things happen.
4. Set The Example - be a model cadet and citizen.
5. Be Proud of who you are and what you represent - you are a uniquely talented individual and represent
the best Air Force in the best country in the world.
6. Lead, Follow, Or Get Out Of The Way - you need to learn to take orders and follow instructions in a
"positive" manner. When given the opportunity to lead - take it. If you can do neither - leave.
7. Be A Class Act not only in ROTC but in your other classes and the community. We are judged by how
others see you. Our success depends upon a positive image.
8. Be Self-disciplined. Put self in front of many positive things - Be self-disciplined, a self-starter, selfmotivated, and have self-respect.
[4]
Grading Policy
Grades in AFJROTC will be awarded on the basis of scores obtained in the following areas:
Objective Grade: (Academics/Uniform Wear/Drill/Wellness)
50%
ACADEMICS: Based on completion of assigned work and quiz/test results.
UNIFORM WEAR: Cadets are required to wear their uniform at school one day per week
(normally Wednesday). If the cadet is absent on uniform day, he/she should wear the uniform the next day
they return to school (except for PE day - then skip to the next day) to get credit for a uniform grade for the
week. Otherwise, they will receive a zero. A grade of 100 would be awarded if the uniform was worn
without discrepancy. Each discrepancy will reduce the overall grade as determined by the inspecting
official. Specific items/areas evaluated during the inspection are listed on page 11. Cadets will not
participate in JROTC activities and can (based on repeated violations) receive a grade of "Zero" each day
until they wear their uniform.
DRILL: Based on the ability to master drill movements, knowledge of drill terms and procedures,
and sharpness of appearance and execution.
WELLNESS – Cadets will actively participate in the cadet corps wellness program known as PT
(Physical Training). On PT days, generally Friday, cadets will bring and wear PT gear (issued PT shirt,
dark colored shorts, and athletic shoes) and participate in cadet led physical activity. Cadets who fail to
bring required gear and/or do not participate will receive less than full credit for the day as determined by
the SASI/ASI.
Subjective Grade: (Citizenship/Leadership/Followership/Attitude)
50%
CITIZENSHIP/FOLLOWERSHIP/LEADERSHIP/ATTITUDE: Based on classroom behavior (in
JROTC and other subjects), ability to follow instructions, group interaction, politeness, cooperation with
instructors and other cadets, demonstration of leadership, acceptance of responsibility, enthusiasm,
participation in activities, respect for authority (teachers, parents, administrators, cadets-in-charge), and
image portrayed by the cadet in the high school and community. Not wearing the uniform when required
could result in a zero for citizenship for that day in addition to a zero for the academic grade.
[5]
Customs and Courtesies
The concept of discipline must always be tied to that of attitude. The purpose of the AFJROTC
program is not to instill in the cadet that type of discipline for which the Prussian Army is so famous.
Instead, we are here to learn that basic and habitual obedience is only part of the total concept. We must
also develop the proper attitude which, when combined with the necessary discipline, will make us the kind
of citizens the world needs today.
The following are time honored traditions in the military and will be followed during all aspects of
your JROTC experience. They are intended to help maintain good order and discipline and promote
positive attitudes.

Courtesies Rendered To Adults: Adults are addressed as "Mr." or "Ms." (last name). In
conversation they are answered with "sir/ma'am".

Addressing Other Cadets: When in uniform, a cadet officer is addressed by cadets of lower
rank by their rank followed by last name, (Example: C/Captain Smith) OR, addressed as
"Sir" or "Ma'am". Do not address a cadet officer in uniform by their first name.

Active Duty, Reserve, and Retired Military Personnel: Military personnel are addressed by
the rank, followed by their last name.

Saluting: A salute is a formal greeting among military personnel. Remember you only
salute when outdoors, unless you are reporting in to the SASI or ASI’s office. See page 11
for further guidance.

Walking with cadets and military personnel of a higher rank: When walking with a person
of higher rank, always walk to their left and in step. When passing through a doorway, the
person of lower rank holds the door and allows the person of higher rank to proceed
through the doorway first. When boarding and leaving a vehicle, the person of lower rank
gets in first and gets out last.
[6]
Appointments, Awards, and
Rotations
1. As a normal operating procedure, TN-20022 will manage issues concerning appointments, awards, and
rotations during the school year as follows:
a. At the beginning of the term, as soon as classes are finalized, the SASI and ASI will appoint the
cadet staff and assign appropriate rank.
b. Most awards and decorations earned during each semester will be presented at the awards
ceremony and at the annual awards banquet. A few awards such as the recruiting and physical fitness
ribbon will be awarded during the semester as appropriate.
c. Rotations of key staff positions will be made as determined by the SASI and ASI. Temporary
rank for staff positions will normally follow the following progression by class: Freshmen - Cadet airman
ranks; Sophomores - Cadet sergeant ranks; Juniors - Cadet officer ranks up to Captain; Seniors - Cadet
officer ranks up to Lieutenant Colonel. Cadets who are removed from staff positions will assume the rank
for their appropriate Aerospace Science (AS) class: AS I – Cadet Airman (C/AMN); AS II – Cadet
Airman First Class (C/A1C); AS III – Cadet Senior Airman (C/SRA); AS IV – Cadet Staff Sergeant
(C/SSGT); AS V or higher – Cadet Technical Sergeant (C/TSGT).
2. Officer staff positions will be filled with the "best qualified" individual as determined by the SASI/ASI.
Each "qualified" individual will be given careful consideration prior to making staff appointments. Total
involvement in and dedication to the cadet program will be of primary concern in the selection process.
Individuals who have failed to accept responsibility while in JROTC will not be appointed to a staff
position. Leadership ability and dedication will be of primary consideration in selecting all of the
command and staff positions. Failure of any cadet to honor the cadet code or the responsibilities of his/her
position will be just cause for removal from that position.
[7]
Cadet Rank Guidelines and
Promotions
How can I get promoted? Just being somewhere longer than others is no reason for promotion in
JROTC, in the military, nor many other places in business.
To advance, take part in the unit's growth, be a part of its growth. Show that you do not merely
want to be promoted, but that you are willing to work for it. If you want to be a leader, first be a good
follower. Learn by experience. Then you have the experience to become a leader.
Cadet rank (grades) will not be confused with active duty rank. The word “cadet” will be part of
any spoken or written reference to specific cadet rank. There are no captains or staff sergeants in the corps;
only cadet captains and cadet staff sergeants.
This chart represents the highest rank normally awarded according to academic year and semesters in
JROTC - they are not automatic.

A promotion is earned in one of 3 ways:
1.
At the end of the semester during the normal promotion cycle and testing.
2.
Being nominated by flight leadership for exceptional performance and approved by the
ASI/SASI.
3.
With a spot promotion by the ASI or SASI. (these are rare)
Normal promotion requirements through TSgt:
1.
Have a “C” average in JROTC and be passing ALL other classes during the promotion
cycle.
2.
Pass a written test commensurate with current rank.
3.
Pass a practical test on drill and ceremonies.
4.
Participate in at least 3 community service events during the promotion cycle (grading
period).
Promotion to C/MSgt through C/CMSgt is accomplished through a formal interview conducted by cadet
leadership and approved through the JROTC instructors. Drill evaluation and community service are also
required.
Officer promotions are at the discretion of the ASI and SASI.
[8]
Dress and Appearance
Male Cadets
Hair will be neat, clean, trimmed, tapered on both sides and back, and present a groomed
appearance. Neatly trimmed box cuts are authorized for the back of the head. Hair will not
touch the ears or the collar. Hair in front will not touch the eyebrows or interfere with the
proper wear of headgear. Sideburns must be neatly trimmed, be no more than one (1) inch
wide, and cannot extend below the bottom of the ear opening. Hair will not be worn in an
extreme or fad style or un-natural color.
Mustaches. Male Airmen may have mustaches; however they will be conservative
(moderate, being within reasonable limits; not excessive or extreme) and will not extend
downward beyond the lip line of the upper lip or extend sideways beyond a vertical line drawn
upward from both corners of the mouth.
Beards. Beards are not authorized unless for medical reasons,
Female Cadets
Hair lengths that would be below the bottom edge of the collar will be pinned-up with no
loose ends. Bangs will not touch either eyebrow, to include an invisible line drawn across
eyebrows and parallel to the ground. If worn, hairpins, combs, headbands, elastic bands and
barrettes must match the hair color (i.e., blonde, brunette, natural red, black, grey), but hair
must still comply with bulk and appearance standards. Hair will not be worn in an extreme or
fad style or un-natural color.
Ornaments are not authorized (i.e., ribbons, beads, jeweled pins). Scrunches are not
authorized. Hair should look professional and allow you to wear uniform headgear in the proper
manner. Exception: While wearing the PTU, long hair will be secured but may have loose
ends and may extend below the collar; i.e. ponytails.
Cadets may wear wristwatches and rings while in uniform, but no more than three (3) rings may be worn at
one time. One bracelet may be worn if it is neat, conservative and no wider than one (1) inch. Females
may wear one (1) pair of conservative, gold, white pearl, or silver spherical earrings. Males are not
authorized to wear earrings while in uniform.
Tattoos or brands anywhere on the body are not allowed if in the SASI judgment they are obscene or if they
advocate sexual, racial, ethnic, or religious discrimination that might harm good order and discipline or
bring discredit upon the Air Force.
[9]
Uniform Policy
Every AF JROTC cadet must wear the uniform properly. The importance of this requirement cannot be
over-emphasized The uniform, except for the insignia, is the same uniform worn by the United States
Air Force. The USAF, as a professional military organization, is known worldwide and has no equal.
The uniform you will wear is a symbol of that proud reputation. Wear it Proudly! Any time you are
wearing the uniform, you represent the entire United States Air Force.
1. Each cadet is responsible for securing, wearing, and maintaining the issued uniform. Uniforms and
insignia which are damaged through negligence, or which are lost, will be paid for by the cadet who signed
for the uniform items at the rate set by the ASI. Only the uniform shirt will be laundered; all other uniform
items must be dry cleaned.
2. The uniform will be worn one day each week, normally on Wednesday. The uniform must be worn all
day on uniform day, unless its wear would conflict with the requirements of another class or cause the
uniform to be soiled. When the uniform coat is worn, it may be removed when in the school classrooms.
Prior to leaving the classroom, however, it must be put on and buttoned up. Cadets who remove the coat
outside the classroom will be considered to be "out of uniform." Cadets wearing the lightweight blue
jacket must have it zipped at least half way up. If you are absent on uniform day, wear your uniform
the next day you come to class unless it is on PT day.
3. The uniform must be kept clean, neat, pressed, and in good condition. Badges, insignia, belt buckles,
and other metallic objects must be in proper luster and condition. Articles such as necklaces, pens, pencils,
and other such items that may detract from the uniform are not to be visible while in uniform. Shoes must
be kept clean and polished. No civilian clothing is normally worn with the uniform. During extremely
cold/rainy days, if no heavy military coat has been issued, a civilian winter coat may be worn over the
uniform, but should be taken off and not worn when inside the building.
4. Special Uniform Items: Ribbons will be worn in order of precedence (see the chart on the back cover of
this guide). As you look at your own ribbons, the ribbon of highest precedence is placed on the rack at the
upper left and the lowest at the bottom right. JROTC medals will be worn with ribbons only when
authorized by the SASI. This is generally reserved for special occasions. Shoulder cords are issued to
denote honors and positions as follows: Red - Drill Team; White - Color Guard; Silver – Squadron
Commander; Gold - Deputy Commander; Blue - Kitty Hawk Air Society. Note: Wear cords on the left
shoulder only. No more than one cord will be worn at a time. Specific uniform guidance is covered in the
following pages.
5. Headgear (flight caps, berets, etc.) will be worn anytime the cadet is outside. The Sullivan South High
School grounds, from the parking lot to the high school, may be considered a no-hat, no-salute area at the
discretion of the SASI.

Saluting
1. The military salute is an established custom. It serves as a friendly form of greeting between
appropriate members of the armed forces. It recognizes and acknowledges the commissioned officer/senior
officer. All members of the AFJROTC will be instructed on the proper time and place for rendering the
salute.
2. At Sullivan South High School, the hand salute will be rendered between appropriate members of
AFJROTC. Saluting will also be required when a cadet is reporting to the SASI’s or ASI’s office and
when they are dismissed. The salute is always initiated by the junior ranking individual. No cadet is to be
embarrassed in public because of failure to salute. Rather, the saluting policy will be explained to the
cadet, and the cadet will be reminded of his/her responsibilities.

Extracurricular Activities
Flight Program. Each semester, every cadet will have the opportunity to fly in a small civilian aircraft.
The F.L.I.G.H.T. foundation has established a program to encourage high school students to get involved in
the aviation community. Free of charge, each cadet is offered a chance to participate in a short, but
exciting orientation flight. Permission slips and a positive attitude is all that is required.
Drill Team – Each year, our cadet corps competes in a number of drill competitions throughout our region.
Cadets who seek to better their skills and have a desire to contribute to a team, are encouraged to get
involved. Training and membership is under the direction of the drill team commander.
Color Guard – Perhaps the most visible activity accomplished by JROTC cadets is the color guard. This is
a specially trained team of cadets who present the American flag and accompanying flags at sporting events
and other special functions. Participation in a color guard is considered a great honor, reserved for the
most dedicated cadets. If desired, every cadet will be offered this opportunity. Training and membership is
under the direction of the color guard commander.
Reserves - The AFJROTC program is designed to be an academic year-long program. However, cadets not
enrolled in JROTC during one term of the school year are considered to be in the reserves. Reservists are
eligible to participate in all after-school activities, including drill team, color guard, physical fitness team,
orienteering, and flying. Uniform and grooming standards will be maintained when participating in
JROTC events.
Curriculum In Action - Cadets will make curriculum-in-action field trips to airports, military installations,
and various other destinations. When space is limited, priority for trips will normally be by class from
seniors to freshmen, and by citizenship grades. In addition, the following guidelines apply:
1. Any student with behavior problems, owes JROTC money, has failed any of the previous hair/uniform
inspections, or has other discipline issues, may be denied the opportunity to participate. The SASI will
make the final decision.
2. Each cadet must have a AFJROTC Trip permission form completed prior to being allowed to travel offcampus. All cadets must have insurance to participate in school sponsored JROTC trips.
3. Cadets will not be allowed to mix socially with non-cadets while on field trips. The buddy system will
apply; that is, cadets will not leave supervised areas without a cadet companion (of the same sex). Regardless
of age, cadets will not be allowed to consume alcohol or use tobacco products at any time. All
school rules apply.
Kitty Hawk Air Society – KHAS is the academic honor society of AFJROTC that promotes high academic
standards, school and community service, self-confidence, and initiative. Membership is limited to the
highest academically accomplished cadets. Membership requirements are included in the chapter by-laws.
Aeronautics – In keeping with the Air Force’s rich heritage of flight, we have established an aeronautics
club dedicated to learning and experiencing the wonders of aviation. Activities include remote controlled
aircraft instruction and model rocketry.
[21]
Honor Flight
1. As part of the cadet recognition program at Sullivan South High School, a cadet Honor Flight will be selected for
each school term. The Honor Flight will be determined by averaging the individual cadet grades in each flight for
each grading period. Drill scores, participation in cadet sponsored events, and overall flight performance will also be
factored in. The flight with the highest combined scores will be the winner. Honor flight standings will be
announced each grading period and updated throughout the term.
2. The Honor Flight will be recognized as determined by the SASI and ASI. Cadets in the recognized Honor Flight
will be given the opportunity to have a special flight function and be awarded the Outstanding Flight ribbon.
Cadet of the Month/Term
1. In order to recognize those cadets who excel in the Air Force Junior ROTC program, an AS I - AS IV
cadet-of-the-month/term program is in effect at Sullivan South High School.
2. At the end of each month, the Flight Commander will submit (by the third day following the end of the
month) to the SASI/ASI the names of the cadets from his/her flight as nominees for AS I - AS IV cadet-ofthe-month. Nominate only those cadets whose military bearing and appearance, classroom behavior,
academic achievements, and personal conduct are a credit to Sullivan South High School and to the
JROTC program.
3. The SASI, ASI, Cadet Squadron Commander, and Deputy Commander will select the cadets-of-themonth from the list of nominees and their own inputs. Not all categories will be awarded if there are
no deserving candidates in that category. The cadet(s) selected will receive recognition as determined
by the SASI. Students selected cadet-of-the-month will be eligible for cadet-of-the-term.
Demilitarized Weapons/Sabers
1. 18 demilitarized rifles and 18 sabers are assigned to this unit. They are to be kept in the locked storage area in the
JROTC room when not in use. When required for practice or an event, each weapon will be signed out to a cadet
using the sheet located outside of the storage area. The cadet is responsible for the weapon/sabre the entire time it is
in their possession. The cadet will not leave the weapon/sabre unguarded at any time. Sabers will be kept in the
scabbard at all times except during the actual requirement to draw the sabre during practice or a performance.
2. The SASI , ASI, or their designated representatives are the only individuals that may give authorization to check
out the weapons. Weapons/sabers will be counted every time they are issued and returned to the storage area.
3. Cadets will not take weapons home for any reason.
4. When the weapons/sabers are transported for drill/color guard practice or competition, they will not be openly
displayed. When carried short distances, rifles will be carried at the “Port” position. Rifle cases will be used
whenever practical. If staying at overnight accommodations, the weapons/sabers will be secured in the SASI/ASI's
room if a secure area is not available at the motel/hotel.

CHAIN OF COMMAND
Senior Air Force Leadership
Current as of July 2015
President of the United States (Commander- in- Chief):
The Honorable Barack H. Obama
Secretary of Defense:
The Honorable Ashton Carter
Secretary of the Air Force:
The Honorable Deborah Lee James
Chief of Staff of the Air Force:
General Mark A. Welsh III
Air Education and Training Command Commander:
General Robin Rand
Air University Commander:
Lt Gen Steven L. Kwast
Holm Center Commander:
Brigadier General Paul H. Guemmer
Air Force Junior ROTC Director:
Lt Col Bobby C. Woods Jr
The Chain of Command represents how authority and responsibility are
organized in a unit. The cadet corps also has a Chain of Command; starting at the
element and continuing up through flight and squadron leadership. Problems should
be handled by moving up through the chain, starting at the lowest level possible. This
allows squadron commanders to focus on larger tasks while flight leadership can take
care of the day-to-day operations.
Know your Chain of Command and use it properly. It is important for the
effective operation of any unit.
