periodically throughout the year.

HANDBOOK RESPONSIBILITIES: Cadets will bring iPADS, pens, pencils, paper, and

other normal school materials to each class.

HANDBOOK ARBITRATION: The final authority on the contents of this handbook is the

Senior Aerospace Science Instructor (SASI) who has been charged with the administration

and management of the AFJROTC program at Palmetto High School. Cadets should direct

all questions on the handbook to the SASI.

CHAPTER ONE

HISTORY, MISSION, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES 1. HISTORY: Air Force Junior ROTC was founded under Public Law 88-647, called the

ROTC Vitalization Act of 1964. South Carolina 942 at Palmetto High School was

established in June 1994. The designation SC-942 indicates that our unit was the second

AFJROTC program approved for South Carolina in 1994.

States, develop a personal responsibility, and instill a sense of accomplishment in high school

students.

● The objectives of AFJROTC are to educate and train high school students in citizenship,

promote community service, instill responsibility character and self-discipline, and provide

instruction in air and space fundamentals.

With these objectives, the cadets will develop:

a. An appreciation of the basic elements and requirements for national security,

b. Respect for and understanding of the need for constituted authority in a democratic

society.

c. Patriotism and understanding of their personal obligation to contribute to national

security.

CHAPTER THREE

STUDENT ADMINISTRATION

1. ADMISSION OF STUDENTS: To be eligible for enrollment and continuance in the

AFJROTC program, each cadet must be:

a. Enrolled in a regular course of instruction at Palmetto High School.

b. Physically fit to participate in AFJROTC training. A cadet is considered

physically fit if he is qualified for the Palmetto High School physical education

program.

c. Home schooled students. Home schooled students participation will comply with

state, district, and school policy concerning home schooled participation in on-

campus classes and activities. If approved for enrollment by the principal, home

schooled students will attend AFJROTC classes on campus and participate in the

full program to include taking AFJROTC academic courses, participation in the

cadet corps, and wearing the prescribed uniform.

2. TRANSFER OF STUDENTS: Transfer of students from Army, Navy, or other

AFJROTC programs may be permitted with full credit for training already received.

3. DISENROLLMENT OF STUDENTS: In accordance with Air Force guidelines, upon

recommendation of the SASI, and with the approval of the principal, students will be

disenrolled from the AFJROTC program for any of the following:

a. Failure to maintain acceptable retention standards, which include acceptable

conduct and wearing the AFJROTC, uniform an average of once per week.

b. Inaptitude (inability or unwillingness to grasp academic material), indifference to

training (lack of interest in drill and ceremonies or leadership development

activities), or disciplinary reasons that involve character traits that are not

desirable (initiating a fight, dishonesty, or refusal to follow directions of those in

authority).

c. Failure to meet personal appearance and uniform dress standards. This includes

failure to wear the hair as prescribed by Air Force regulations and failure to wear

the AFJROTC uniform on prescribed days without a valid reason (approved by

the SASI).

4. CONSEQUENCES OF DISENROLLMENT: Cadets who are disenrolled will:

a. Receive a failing grade for the year.

b. Be removed from the AFJROTC classroom and reassigned as determined by the

Palmetto High School Guidance department.

c. Require SASI approval to re-enroll in AFJROTC while at Palmetto High School.

3

THE 942ND


01 August 2015

5. FIGHTING: Fighting will not be tolerated in AFJROTC. Cadets will not initiate

fights and will do everything possible to walk away from a potential fight. Fighting is not

considered acceptable behavior in the military or society in general. Simply because most

high school students are not at an age where they can be prosecuted for fighting does not

mean that we will tolerate such behavior. We will handle cadets who fight in the following

manner – judging each situation on its own set of circumstances:

a. Cadets who initiate a fight may be recommended to the principal for

disenrollment from AFJROTC.

b. Cadets who are attacked will not necessarily be disenrolled from AFJROTC. An

investigation will determine their level of involvement, then the appropriate

discipline, if any, will be administered.

NOTHING CAN BE SETTLED THROUGH FIGHTING! THERE IS NO ROOM IN

A LEADERSHIP AND CITIZENSHIP PROGRAM FOR THOSE WHO RESORT TO

ANGER AND VIOLENCE. THERE IS ALWAYS A BETTER WAY TO SETTLE

ANY DISAGREEMENT!

CHAPTER FOUR

CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT

1. CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT ACCOUNT: All uniform items are loaned to the

student by the United States Air Force. Cadets will sign for each uniform item issued at the

beginning of the year and will be responsible for the return of those items. Other items

issued to the cadet (rank, insignia, cords, books, etc.) are considered equipment items. They

must also be accounted for on a receipt form signed when they are issued.

a. All uniform and equipment items must be accounted for at the end of the year.

Immediate payment will be made to the AFJROTC department for any items lost or

damaged (See attachment 9). REPORT CARDS WILL NOT BE ISSUED UNTIL

THE CADET’S UNIFORM AND EQUIPMENT ACCOUNT IS SETTLED.

b. Uniform items that become worn or unserviceable should be turned in to the

appropriate Aerospace Science Instructor as soon as possible. Items of clothing that

no longer fit properly should also be exchanged as soon as possible. Cadets will be

excused from uniform wear while the uniform is being altered, but the cadet’s

Aerospace Science Instructor must be notified in advance. Cadets will not be

excused from uniform wear for improperly fitting uniform items unless they have

notified the SASI or an ASI in advance.

2. THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE UNIFORM IS THE SYMBOL OF A PROUD

AND HONORABLE SERVICE. WEAR THE UNIFORM WITH THE PRIDE AND

CARE IT DESERVES.

WEAR OF THE AIR FORCE UNIFORM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AN HONOR -

NOT AN EMBARRASSMENT. EACH WEEK, APPROXIMATELY ONE FIFTH OF

THE PALMETTO HIGH STUDENT BODY WILL BE IN UNIFORM. YOU WILL

BE ONE OF MANY WHO PROUDLY WEAR THE UNIFORM THAT COUNTLESS

THOUSANDS HAVE WORN WHILE SACRIFICING THEIR LIVES FOR THIS

COUNTRY.

Pride in one’s personal appearance and wearing the uniform, greatly enhances the

esprit de corps essential to an effective Cadet Corps. Therefore, it is important for all

cadets to maintain a high standard of dress and personal appearance. The five

elements of this standard are neatness, cleanliness, safety, uniformity, and image. The

image must instill confidence and leave no doubt that cadets live by a common standard

and respond to order and discipline. The image of a disciplined and committed cadet is

incompatible with the extreme, the unusual and the fad.

“Pride in self begins with pride in appearance.” General George S. Patton

CHAPTER FIVE

PROPER WEAR OF THE UNIFORM

1. WEARING THE UNIFORM Except for the insignia, the AFJROTC uniform is the

same uniform worn by active duty members in the United States Air Force. The AFJROTC

uniform must be worn properly at all times.

2. UNIFORM WEAR PROCEDURES: Weekly wear of the AFJROTC uniform is intended

to provide practical experience in military grooming, behavior, and personal appearance.

CADETS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR THE UNIFORM ON THE DAY SPECIFIED AS

“UNIFORM DAY”, WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY, EACH WEEK AND ON OTHER

SPECIAL OCCASIONS DESIGNATED BY THE AFJROTC DEPARTMENT.

Except on Fridays, cadets who are absent from school on their uniform wear day

will wear the uniform on the first day back in school. This applies to unplanned

absences such as sickness or family emergencies. Since each Friday is an exercise

day, makeup uniform inspections will not be conducted. Therefore, “the first school

day” only includes Monday thru Thursday.

a. For planned absences (doctor appointments, field trips, etc.) or known conflicts

(CTC classes, other class requirements, etc.) on a uniform wear day, the cadet will

wear the uniform on the day prior.

b. It is the cadet’s responsibility to contact the AFJROTC instructors to

complete the uniform inspection. Make-up inspections will be conducted no

earlier than lunchtime. c. Uniforms will be worn only at times and locations specified by the AFJROTC

department.

d. Unauthorized wear of the uniform or distinctive items of the uniform is

prohibited.

e. On designated Uniform Days, uniforms will be worn after school only until the

cadet is reasonably able to change into civilian clothing.

f. Uniforms will not be worn anytime it would discredit the Armed Forces.

g. The AFJROTC uniform will not be worn at work, while participating in student

demonstrations, as guards, baggage handlers, for crowd control, or in any other

inappropriate activity. The uniform will not be worn while hitchhiking.

h. On “Uniform Day,” the uniform will be properly worn through the end of the

school day in order to receive credit. Cadets must have permission from the

SASI or ASI to change out of the uniform early and still receive credit. Early

dismissal for illness or athletic events are typical of the exceptions that may be

made if discussed with the SASI or ASI in advance. Cadets who change into or

out of the uniform during the school day without prior permission will

receive zero for the weekly uniform inspection.

i. Cadets may remove exterior jackets inside the classrooms. Neckties will not be

loosened or removed, shirtsleeves will not be turned up, and buttons will be kept

fastened at all times.

j. The tie must be worn whenever the Service Dress uniform coat and/or the long

sleeve shirt are worn, or crew neck t-shirt is worn with short sleeve blue shirt.

The blue windbreaker jacket will be zipped at least halfway whenever worn.

k. Except during the lunch period, the uniform hat will be worn anytime a cadet is

outside. Cadets performing specialized duty may wear the hat indoors, when

directed to do so by the SASI or ASI. Hats may be removed while driving or

riding inside a vehicle or school bus.

l. Except to insert or retrieve items, cadets will not stand, walk, or sit with their

hands in the pockets of any uniform combination.

m. Civilian coats, scarves, and other non-military items will not be worn while in

uniform.

n. Cadets are prohibited from wearing any type of Active Duty rank, badges,

ribbons, and/or decorations whether in uniform or civilian clothes.

o. Cadets are not allowed to chew gum while in formation.

p. If school is cancelled for snow or other types of inclement weather, cadets will

not wear the AFJROTC uniform until directed to do so by the AFJROTC

instructors.

q. When in uniform or civilian clothes (participating in AFJROTC activities), cadets

must not engage in public displays of affection including, but not limited to,

holding hands, walking arm-in-arm, embracing, caressing, and kissing. Public

displays of affection are inappropriate as they violate a long-standing custom of

the Air Force.

r. Uniforms will not be worn in In-School-Suspension (ISS). If assigned ISS on a

weekly uniform day, it is the cadet’s responsibility to make-up the uniform

requirement as outlined above.

3. FAILURE TO WEAR UNIFORM: Since participation in the AFJROTC program

requires the uniform wear, cadets will wear the uniform as designated by the SASI/ASI.

(NOTE: Uniforms will not be worn on Fridays. Therefore, “the next school day”

only includes Monday thru Thursday.)

a. Cadets who fail to wear the uniform on the designated uniform wear day will have

200 points deducted from the possible 500 points and will be required to wear the

uniform the next school day.

b. Failure to wear the uniform the next school day (two unexcused uniform wear

violations) will result in a 0 (zero) for the weekly inspection and referral to the

appropriate assistant principal for disciplinary procedures as outlined in the

Palmetto High School Student Handbook.

4. PERSONAL APPEARANCE INSPECTIONS: Cadet standards of personal

appearance are the same as those of Air Force personnel who are undergoing basic

training. For that reason, cadets will receive a Personal Appearance Inspection each time

they wear the uniform. AFJROTC instructors or Cadet Staff Officers, acting under the

direction and supervision of the AFJROTC instructors, will perform inspections. The

inspector will evaluate each cadet’s personal appearance and will be responsible for

recording the results of the inspection.

Each cadet will start with 500 possible points. Points will be deducted for each sub-

standard condition noted. Infractions will be tabulated in the following manner:

THE 942ND


01 August 2015

The Inspection Officer will deduct points for any unsightly or unsatisfactory condition.

A cadet must receive 350 points or higher in order to pass an inspection. Cadets will not

quibble or argue with an inspector. Although a cadet’s uniform and hair are technically

correct, occasions may arise wherein the cadet’s appearance does not project the military

image. The judgment of the AFJROTC instructors will be binding. At the discretion of

the SASI, cadets who fail four Personal Appearance Inspections (in a nine-week period)

will receive a failing grade that term.

5. FEMALE PERSONAL GROOMING STANDARDS:

Undergarments: Appropriate undergarments are required to be worn with all uniform

combinations. Bra and underpants will be worn with all uniforms. Undergarments will

be white and present a conservative, feminine appearance. Undergarments will not be

visible at the neck when worn with an open collar. Wear of the white V-neck undershirt

when wearing opened collar service uniforms is authorized. Females may wear the white

V-neck, crew-neck or athletic style undershirt when wearing closed collar uniform.

Undershirt will be tucked into slacks and will not have pockets.

Hair: Hair will be clean, well-groomed, present a professional appearance, and allow

proper wear of headgear. Hair will not contain excessive amounts of grooming aids (e.g.

gel, mousse, pomade, moisturizer), appear lopsided, touch either eyebrow, or end below

an imaginary line across the forehead at the top of the eyebrows that is parallel to the

ground. If applied, dyes, tints, bleaches and frostings must result in natural, human hair

colors. The hair color must complement the member‘s complexion and skin tone.

Examples of natural human hair colors are brown, blonde, brunette, natural red, black or

grey. Prohibited examples (not all inclusive) are burgundy, purple, orange, fluorescent or

neon colors.

Minimum length is one inch to a maximum bulk of three inches from scalp. Hair may

begin to gradually taper from one inch in length to ¼ inch in length approximately three

inches from the hairline (no shaved heads, flat tops, etc.). Hair will end above the bottom

edge of collar and any side of an invisible line drawn parallel to the ground. Except in

the physical training uniform, hair lengths that would be below the bottom edge of the

collar will be pinned-up with no loose ends. Hair 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. Ornaments are not authorized (i.e., ribbons, beads, jeweled pins).

Scrunches are not authorized. See Figure 3.2, for women‘s hair.

The intent is for pinned-up hair to be styled in a manner that prevents loose ends from

extending upward on the head. For example, when using a clip or hairpins, hair will not

present the appearance of a ―rooster tail; when hair is in a bun, all loose ends must be

tucked in and secured; when hair is in a pony tail, it must be pulled all the way through

the elastic band and may hang naturally downward and not extending below the bottom

of the collar (except while in the PT uniform). As with all hairstyles, a neat and

professional image is essential. 9

THE 942ND


01 August 2015

Braids, micro-braids and cornrows are authorized. However, they must be a natural

looking color for human beings similar to the individual's hair color; conservative

(moderate, being within reasonable limits; not excessive or extreme) and not present a

faddish appearance. A braid is three or more portions/strands of interwoven hair. When

worn, multiple braids shall be of uniform dimension, small in diameter (approx ¼

inches), show no more than ¼ inch of scalp between the braids and must be tightly

interwoven to present a neat, professional and well-groomed appearance. Braids must

continue to the end of the hair in one direction, in a straight line, and may be worn loose

or a secured style within hair standards.

Dreadlocks, (defined as long strands of hair that have been twisted closely from the scalp

down to the tips; heavy matted coils of hair which form by themselves, eventually fusing

together to form a single dread; or unkempt, twisted, matted individual parts of hair),

shaved head, flat-tops and military high-and-tight cuts are not authorized hairstyles.

Hair color, highlights, and frosting will not be faddish and will be natural looking hair

color for human beings, similar to the individual‘s hair color (e.g. black, brunette, blond,

natural red, and grey).

CHAPTER SIX

CADET CONDUCT AND MILITARY COURTESY

1. GENERAL CONDUCT: Our unit motto is “Building Better Citizens.” AFJROTC cadets

are expected to operate with a minimum of supervision and display the most outstanding

citizenship qualities of any group of students at Palmetto High School. Disturbances, an

insolent attitude, or failure to comply with uniform and appearance standards are considered

to be serious breaches of discipline. A cadet who is consistently the subject of disciplinary

actions displays a lack of attitude, aptitude, ability, discipline, and responsibility to become

successful adults and citizens. Correct conduct will be observed at all time by all cadets to

reflect credit upon themselves, their parents/guardians, their school, and the United States Air

Force.

All cadets are expected to uphold the Cadet Honor Code: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, or

steal, or tolerate those who do”.

2. CLASSROOM CONDUCT: Classroom instruction will begin with the cadets standing

beside their desks until the instructor gives the command “Take your seats.” Cadets will be at

“parade rest” while roll is being taken. As his or her name is called each cadet will come to a

position of “attention,” respond with “Here, sir,” then resume the “parade rest” position after

the next cadet’s name is called. Promptness is an objective of this program and cadets will be

expected to be at their desk BEFORE THE LATE BELL RINGS. TARDINESS IS A

VIOLATION OF THE PALMETTO HIGH SCHOOL CODE OF CONDUCT.

CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION WILL BE CONDUCTED WITH ALL STUDENTS

AT EASE.

a. Cadets will not slouch in their seats, put their feet on other desks, or be inattentive

to instruction. Cadets will never sit on student desks.

b. Cadets will not sleep while in the classroom. A cadet who cannot stay awake may,

at any time, stand at the back of the classroom at the position of “parade rest”

until he/she can remain awake. Cadets with their heads down on the desk at any

time ARE CONSIDERED ASLEEP and will receive the appropriate penalty.

c. CLASSROOM DISTRACTIONS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED. Conduct

and attitude that does not meet the standards of the AFJROTC program will result

in disciplinary measures or a loss of privileges (field trips, promotions, co-

curricular participation, military balls, flights, etc). Cadets whose conduct and

attitude adversely affect the class continuously will be recommended for

disenrollment.

NOTE: THE FLIGHT WILL BE CALLED TO ATTENTION ANY TIME A

PRINCIPAL, SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR, AIR FORCE OFFICER, OR SPECIAL

GUEST ENTERS THE CLASSROOM. THE FLIGHT COMMANDER, FLIGHT

SERGEANT, OR THE FIRST CADET SEEING THESE INDIVIDUALS SHOULD

CALL THE FLIGHT TO ATTENTION.

18

THE 942ND


01 August 2015

3. MILITARY COURTESY: Harassment of any of the cadets by anyone of any rank is

strictly forbidden. Blatant misuse of authority may result in loss of position or possible

disenrollment from the program. Examples of harassment are improper or abusive

language, requiring a lower class cadet to carry your books, and physical abuse such as

pushups, or having a lower ranking cadet perform personal (non-offensive) duties for

you.

4. INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR: Inappropriate behavior in uniform is prohibited. Such

inappropriate behavior includes overly affectionate contact, horseplay, and fighting.

The initiation of a physical attack will be considered an ASSAULT, which is an illegal

act. INITIATING A FIGHT WILL BE JUST CAUSE FOR A RECOMMENDATION

FOR IMMEDIATELY REMOVAL FROM THE AFJROTC PROGRAM. All

inappropriate behavior can be classified as “conduct unbecoming an AFJROTC cadet.”

5. USE OF RANK: Cadets will not attempt to use AFJROTC rank or position in order to

obtain personal favor or gain. They will never ask a teacher to make concessions because

of their cadet status. Cadet rank exists only when taking part in authorized AFJROTC

activities!

6. HAZING: Hazing is defined as, “the practice of directing someone of lesser rank to

perform a humiliating action, which entails the surrender of dignity and self-respect, or a

hazardous action which exposes one to physical injury or bodily harm.” HAZING IS

STRICTLY PROHIBITED AT PALMETTO HIGH SCHOOL!

7. CADET OFFICER/NCO AUTHORITY: Cadet officer and non-commissioned officers

(NCOs) are authorized to take charge and direct subordinate cadets in performance of

AFJROTC leadership training. They will judiciously enforce military discipline at all times

and will NEVER demean, belittle, harass, or use profane or obscene language. Proven abuse

of authority will result in IMMEDIATE DEMOTION of the concerned individual.

8. SECRET ORGANIZATIONS: Cadets are prohibited from organizing or holding

membership in secret organizations. Such organizations are frequently devious, divisive,

and/or discriminatory.

19

THE 942ND


01 August 2015

CHAPTER SEVEN

THE CADET MERIT/DEMERIT SYSTEM

1. CADET MERITS/DEMERITS: A Cadet Merit system will be used to recognize

service, award merit, promote observance of military customs and courtesies, and to enforce

desirable behavior. Each merit earned during a nine-week grading period will raise a cadet’s

overall AFJROTC grade by 1%. (Cadet merits will not be carried forward into another nine-

week grading period for grading purposes.) The AFJROTC Service Ribbon or Oak Leaf

Cluster will be awarded for each 10 merits earned.

Cadets may be awarded merits for the following:

Military Parade and Review 1

Community/School Service (each 2 hours) 1

Honor Guard (one appearance) 1

Color Guard (one appearance) 1

Public Parade 1

Drill Team (one public appearance) 1

Recruiting Team (one appearance) 1

Rocket Team (one public appearance) 1

Funding Raising 1

Special Assignment or Duty 1-2

“A” Honor Roll (9 weeks) 4

“A/B” Honor Roll (9 weeks) 2

Member of co-curricular committee 2

Cadet of the Month 2

Cadet of the Semester 3

Cadet of the Year 5

Chairman of co-curricular committee 2

Project Officer for minor project 2

Project Officer for major project 3

2. CANCELLED PERFORMANCES: In the event a performance is cancelled due to

weather or unforeseen reasons, cadets who were in place at the appropriate time will be given

full credit for the appearance/performance.

3. DEMERITS: Except for legitimate emergencies, cadets who accept, but fail to carry

out tasks for which merits are normally awarded will be penalized. In addition,

scheduled cadets that do not meet the uniform and grooming standards (especially haircuts,

shaves, and dirty, wrinkled uniforms) will receive demerits and will not be allowed to

participate in the event. Demerits, equal to twice the number of merits normally

awarded, will be given to the cadet. Such failure or performance will also be considered in

making future selections for AFJROTC promotions, awards, and decorations.

CHAPTER EIGHT

SALUTING PROCEDURES

1. REASON FOR SALUTING: The salute has been a tradition in the military for centuries.

It is merely a courteous exchange of greeting initiated by an Air Force member of lower rank

to his superior. It is considered a symbol of respect. In the Air Force, as in most services

around the world, enlisted airmen salute all officers, and lower ranking officers salute

only their superior officers. The lower ranking airman/officer always initiates the

salute.

2. SALUTING PROCEDURES: Cadets will be taught the proper manner of saluting and

the rules that govern its use among the military services. There are some special rules for

saluting at Palmetto High School that each cadet must learn.

a. All cadet officers should be saluted outdoors.

b. Cadets are not required to salute senior ranking cadet officers when they are in an

automobile.

c. Saluting off campus when in uniform is a sign of mutual respect and it is

expected.

d. The SASI will be saluted outside and when reporting the class ready for

instruction. It is not required to salute the SASI when he is in an automobile. The

ASI will be saluted when reporting the class ready for instruction.

e. Cadets will salute all military officers when on field trips to military installations.

f. The salute is rendered indoors only when cadets are participating in ceremonies or

reporting to the SASI or cadet officers.

g. Salutes are never exchanged while running. The saluting cadet will first come to

a quick time (a walk) and render the salute when approximately six paces from

the officer.

h. If a cadet in uniform observes the American flag being raised or lowered from any

flagstaff, he will assume the position of attention, come to present arms, and hold

it until the flag has been completely raised or lowered. If the cadet is in civilian

clothes, he will assume the position of attention and place the right hand over the

heart. If a cadet in civilian clothes is wearing headgear, he will remove the

headgear and hold it in his left hand so that the right hand can be placed over the

heart.

i. If a cadet in uniform is outdoors and the National Anthem is being played, the

cadet will come to attention, face the music or flag, and present arms until the

music ends. If indoors, the cadet will stand at attention but not salute. Cadets in

civilian clothes should stand at attention with their right hand over their heart and

face the flag/music when the National Anthem is played outdoors.

j. During the Pledge of Allegiance, cadets in uniform stand at attention but do not

salute. Cadets not in uniform should place their right hand over the heart during

the pledge.

21

THE 942ND


01 August 2015

k. When a cadet is reporting to a formation, he/she will approach the cadet or

person in charge, salute if the cadet in charge is a senior officer and state,

“Sir/ma’am, Cadet (Last name) requests permission to join the

formation/flight.” l. Cadet officers and NCOs should correct saluting violations in a courteous and

helpful manner. REMEMBER: saluting is not a humiliating act. It is a

greeting and a symbol of respect for superior officers.

22

THE 942ND


01 August 2015

CHAPTER NINE

CADET PROMOTION AND EVALUATION SYSTEM

1. PURPOSE AFJROTC is a leadership program that is designed to give cadets an ever-

increasing opportunity for more responsibility and leadership positions. The program

provides every cadet with the opportunity to observe leaders while being a good follower and

apply those principles observed as they assume leadership positions. Every position in the

cadet chain of command offers the opportunity for leadership - whether it is a

command or staff position. Cadets who do well in their leadership positions are afforded

increased responsibility - additional rank or a promotion normally results from that good

performance. This is how it works in the military and in the business world.

2. PROMOTION CRITERIA: There are no racial or sexual quotas for AFJROTC officer

and non-commissioned officer (NCO) positions. The promotion system will be patterned

after that of the United States Air Force and will conform to guidance provided by

Headquarters AFROTC. As in the active duty Air Force and in the business world,

promotions are based on performance and demonstrated leadership ability - not

academic class, years in AFJROTC, or age. Areas considered in the promotion process

are: attitude, citizenship traits, dependability, initiative, trustworthiness, performance,

leadership potential, academic achievement, personal appearance and uniform wear, and

community service.

3. HOW THE PROMOTION SYSTEM WORKS: There are two tiers of promotion in

AFJROTC, and they are very similar to those used by the United States Air Force. The

following paragraphs will explain how each tier works.

a. Basic Cadet Promotion: Basic Cadets will be promoted using a promotion

percentage based on the performance factors that we look for in every cadet:

knowledge, attention to detail, uniform wear, attitude, and leadership ability.

Basic Cadets will have the opportunity for promotion each nine-week period.

Only a percentage can be promoted at each level to ensure that the highest

standards are maintained. This system is in keeping with Air Force policy and

practice. The following promotion intervals, maximum percentages, and

minimum AFJROTC academic average will be used:

Rank Promotion Interval Percentage Academic Average

C/Amn Nine weeks 75% 77

C/A1C Nine weeks 70% 77

C/SrA Nine weeks 65% 77

C/SSgt Nine weeks 60% 85

C/TSgt Nine weeks 55% 85

C/MSgt Nine weeks 50% 85

C/SMSgt Nine weeks 45% 85

23

THE 942ND


01 August 2015

Note 1: Those cadets not promoted the first time considered at a certain interval

are eligible again after waiting for the next interval. The percentages will remain

the same and will apply to those left after the previous promotion to that rank.

Note 2: Basic Cadets who clearly distinguish themselves through superior

performance may be awarded an additional promotion at any time deemed

appropriate. This is called a STEP promotion – Stripes for Exceptional

Performers.

b. Upper Class Promotion: All upper class cadets should be prepared to assume

positions of leadership in the Cadet Group. Cadets will not be promoted to a rank

that exceeds the following unless special requirements or truly exceptional

performance warrant special consideration by the SASI.

AS I (Upper class students) Cadet First Lieutenant

AS II Cadet Captain

AS III Cadet Major

AS IV Cadet Colonel

To be eligible for cadet officer promotion consideration, cadets must have complete CLC or

have an AFJROTC grade of 93 or higher. Upper class cadets will be promoted using a

similar system as that developed for Basic Cadets. However, the system will only be used to

promote cadets through the rank of Cadet Lieutenant Colonel:

Rank Promotion Interval Percentage

C/1Lt Semester 75%

C/Capt Semester 65%

C/Major Semester 50%

C/Lt Col Semester 33%

Note: The Cadet of the Year may be promoted to one rank higher than their

peers up to the rank of Cadet Lieutenant Colonel. The SASI may deviate from

these guidelines for truly deserving cadets who have been placed in positions

normally held by cadets in a higher aerospace science class.

4. Notification of Promotion: A promotion list for all cadets promoted will be published at

each interval with an effective date of rank for each cadet.

CHAPTER TEN

CADET GROUP ORGANIZATION

1. CADET ORGANIZATION: The South Carolina 942nd Air Force Junior ROTC Cadet

Group will be organized in accordance with Air Force ROTC directives.

2. UNIT MANNING DOCUMENT: A Unit Manning Document (UMD) will be used as a

guideline for cadet positions and maximum rank authorizations. A copy of the UMD is

included as an attachment to this handbook.

3. CADET APPOINTMENT AND ROTATION OF DUTIES: Air Force JROTC

Consolidated Guide: “The Senior Aerospace Science Instructor (SASI) selects the Cadet

Corps Commander, subordinate commanders, and the staff members required by the

organizational structure of the unit.” It is desirable that cadet promotions be made in such a

manner that a cadet will experience ever-increasing rank and responsibility. Special

promotions may be made at any time in order to fill a need or to recognize special merit.

4. CADET SELECTION CRITERIA: Cadets will not be selected for leadership positions

based on gender, ethnicity, or pure academic standing. Citizenship traitors, leadership

ability, attitude, integrity and performance will be utilized as the measuring tools for placing

cadets in leadership positions.

5. CADET STAFF MEETINGS: The Cadet Group Commander will conduct a staff

meeting for his key officers as required (these may be informal if the entire staff is not

available). The meetings will be short and well organized. This will be a mandatory

meeting for those staff members designated by the Cadet Group Commander.

6. DEMOTION CRITERIA: Cadets appointed to positions within the Cadet Group will be

given a specific time period in which to learn the job. Following that training period, they

will be expected to perform satisfactorily.

a. Cadets who are unwilling or unable to perform the duties required, or clearly show

that they do not intend to accept all the responsibility associated with a position will

be removed from that position and awarded the appropriate permanent rank.

b. At the SASI’s discretion, cadet’s receiving an out-of-school suspension may be

demoted to his/her permanent rank and removed from any leadership position.

c. Permanent and/or temporary rank may be withdrawn due to unsatisfactory

performance and behavior as determined by the SASI.

25

THE 942ND


01 August 2015

7. PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY RANK: At the beginning of the second semester

each year, cadets will be automatically promoted to the appropriate permanent rank. Cadets

will wear the permanent rank assigned to their AFJROTC academic year when not holding a

position which calls for higher (temporary) rank. Temporary rank will be awarded by the

SASI based on the position to which a cadet is assigned. Temporary rank will not

automatically be carried over from year to year, and it may be changed any time due to

position changes, special promotions, unsatisfactory performance, or demotions.

NOTE: Cadet rank may be removed at any time by the SASI for undesirable behavior

or a lack of adherence to AFJROTC standards.

PERMANENT CADET RANK

Aerospace Science I Cadet Airman

Aerospace Science II Cadet Airman First Class

Aerospace Science III Cadet Senior Airman

Aerospace Science IV Cadet Staff Sergeant

8. ASSIGNMENT OF RANK: When assigned to a position that is authorized a temporary

rank, the cadet may not be automatically awarded the highest temporary rank authorized by

the Unit Manning Document. Normally, cadet performance will be monitored for a

period of time before the cadet is promoted to the highest rank authorized. This time

period may be a nine-week grading period or an entire semester if additional experience is

deemed necessary. There is no requirement to promote any cadet to the highest UMD rank

unless the SASI deems that the performance and leadership ability demonstrated warrants

such a promotion.

CHAPTER ELEVEN

CLASSROOM PROCEDURES

1. STANDARD RULES All cadets will abide by the rules listed in the Palmetto High

School Student Handbook. Additionally, cadets in this program will follow general

classroom procedures that are more military in nature. It is these differences that make this

program so unique - and so special. The following standards of conduct will be strictly

enforced to bring pride and honor to SC-942:

a. No food or drinks will be consumed in the AFJROTC classroom without special

permission from the SASI and Principal approval.

b. No gum chewing is permitted while in formation.

c. Cadets will not sleep in class. If you are ill, you will be escorted to the main

27

THE 942ND


01 August 2015

2. CLASSROOM PROCEDURES:

Cadets will enter the classroom quietly and stand beside their assigned seats in a position

of parade rest. When the tardy bell rings, the Flight Commander will close the door and

direct the Flight Sergeant to “TAKE THE REPORT.”

The Flight Sergeant will then receive the report from each Element Leader. Element

Leaders will come to a position of attention, salute the Flight Sergeant and respond,

“Element ____ all present or accounted for” or “Element ____ has ____ cadets absent.”

The Flight Sergeant will return each Element Leader’s salute.

After receiving all element reports, the Flight Sergeant will move to a position in front of

the Flight Commander, salute and report “____ Flight all present or accounted for” or

____ Flight has ____ cadets absent.” After the Flight Commander returns the Flight

Sergeant’s salute, the Flight Sergeant will move to his/her assigned seat.

The Flight Commander will then turn to face the instructor. The instructor will request

the report. The Flight Commander will salute and respond, “____ Flight all present or

accounted for” or ____ Flight has ____ cadets absent.” After the instructor returns the

Flight Commander’s salute, the Flight Commander will move to his/her assigned seat.

The instructor will then call the roll. As each cadet’s name is called, he/she will come to

the position of attention, answer, “Here Sir/Ma’am”, and return to the position of parade

rest. After the instructor calls the last cadet’s name, he will call the flight to attention

and direct the flight commander to take charge of the flight.

Flight commander will lead the flight in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, Air Force Core

Values, Cadet Honor Code, and the AFJROTC Mission. Flight Commander will then

direct the flight to take their seats.

If the instructor is not in the classroom, the Flight Commander will call the class to

attention, lead the flight in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, Air Force Core Values,

Cadet Honor Code, and the AFJROTC Mission, and direct the flight members to take

their seats. The Flight Commander will assume a position of Parade Rest until the

instructor enters the room. When the instructor enters the room, the Flight Commander

will call the flight to attention.

At the end of the class, the instructor will direct the Flight Commander to take charge of

the flight. The Flight Commander will call the flight to attention and then give the order

“Flight Dismissed.” Cadets will exit the room in a quiet, orderly manner.

Department of Defense to take orientation flights in DOD aircraft. Energy and aircraft

limitations not withstanding, AFJROTC cadets may take such flights while in the AFJROTC

program. Parents must sign a Flight Permission form before cadets will be permitted to make

such flights.

5. BEHAVIOR ON FIELD TRIPS: Cameras may be carried on field trips, but should be

safeguarded at all times. Cadets are expected to conduct themselves in a proper manner at all

times during field trips, especially during transportation to and from an activity. Boom boxes

without headsets and all tobacco products are prohibited on field trips. Cellular phones are

authorized for contact with parents only. Food and drink will only be permitted with the

approval of the AFJROTC instructors.

CADETS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO DATE OR MIX SOCIALLY WITH NON-

all Cadet Corps duty assignments are completed. He/she will monitor the Cadet Monthly

Calendars and discuss tasks/activities with the AFJROTC instructors on a frequent and

regular basis.

2. PROJECT OFFICER: The Cadet Commander will appoint a Project Officer (PO) for

each major task. Project Officers will be responsible for planning, coordinating, and

supervising their specific projects. They will consult with the instructors for guidance and

suggestions. If applicable, they will review previous project files for background

information. The Project Officers will also maintain current a folder on their specific project.

The file should contain, but not limited to, the following information:

a. Total number of cadets required.

b. Supplies, resources, and materials required, including costs.

c. Name and/or title of all individuals who were contacted, both outside and inside

the cadet corps.

d. Total time required from initial planning through final critique.

e. Any charts, illustrations, or training aids used.

f. Comments, insights, or suggestions for future project officers.

The Project Officer will schedule practice sessions and will make regular progress reports to

the Cadet Commander. The Project Officer will present an Operations Briefing for the Cadet

Commander and instructors no less than two school days before the duty assignment date.

The PO will turn in a participation roster to the Cadet Commander at the completion of the

project.

A majority of our co-curricular duty assignments involve appearances before the student

body, faculty, and/or the public. As a result, any horseplay, misbehavior, or absence of key

personnel is readily apparent and focuses unfavorable attention on Palmetto High School, the

Air Force, and the Cadet Corps. Cadets who accept duty assignments but fail to perform will

be given demerits equal to twice the merits that would have been earned. Such failure to

perform will also be considered in making future selections for promotions, awards, and

decorations.

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS/OBJECTIVES

AFJROTC curriculum includes Aerospace Science (AS), Leadership Education (LE) and

Health/Wellness components. At Palmetto High School, AFJROTC is an elective course.

Elective or non-core credit classes teach AS 40% of contact time, LE 40% and Health and

Wellness 20%. All cadets will be granted academic credit applicable toward graduation

requirements for the successful completion of AFJROTC courses.

1. AEROSPACE SCIENCE: For organizational purposes Aerospace Science is separated

from the Leadership Education component in each AFJROTC class. In practice, however,

the overlap is considerable. For example, writing and speaking skills are categorized as

“Leadership Hours” but can and should be incorporated into the Aerospace Science courses.

Additionally, many of the Aerospace Science topics will be helpful in the Leadership

Education classes. The overall objectives for academic courses are for the cadet to develop:

a. An appreciation of the basic elements and requirements for national security.

b. An understanding about the development of flight and civilian and military

contributions to aviation.

c. An understanding of how airplanes fly and how weather conditions affect flight.

2. LEADERSHIP EDUCATION: Leadership Education (LE) is an integral part of each

year’s instruction for AFJROTC cadets. Each year’s activities are broken into Academic and

Leadership components. In practice, however, the overlap is considerable. The development

of writing and speaking skills are categorized as “Leadership Hours,” yet when used to

present subject matter related to what is being taught in the “academic” area, the results are

twofold. Additionally, many after-school activities provide the proving ground for newly

learned leadership skills. Activities such as drill teams, model rocketry clubs, and the formal

cadet corps’ operation all require offices with considerable responsibilities. To describe the

leadership portion of the curriculum as being 288 hours (72 hours per year) is technically

true, in practice it is highly understated. The course objectives for Leadership Education are:

a. Know the AFJROTC mission and organization, customs and courtesies, and the meaning and

purpose of standards, discipline, and conduct. b. Comprehend why the elements of effective communication skills are important to the

dynamics of individual and group behavior, and a key to effective leadership.

c. Comprehend why obtaining a degree or skill after high school is important to having a

civilian or military career.

d. Know the various management theories and the management process, and how values

and ethics are formed for an individual and the society.

LE-100: Citizenship, Character & Air Force Tradition: LE-100 introduces cadets to the

Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) program, providing a basis for

progression through the rest of the AFJROTC program while instilling elements of good

citizenship. As such, it should be the first LE course taken by new cadets. It contains

sections on cadet and Air Force organizational structure; uniform wear; customs, courtesies,

and other military traditions; health and wellness; fitness; individual self-control; and

citizenship. The course objectives are:

a. Know the importance of AFJROTC history, mission, purpose, goals, and objectives.

b. Know military traditions and the importance of maintaining a high standard of dress

and personal appearance.

c. Know the importance of attitude, discipline, and respect, and why values and ethics are

so important.

d. Know the importance of individual self-control, common courtesies and etiquette.

e. Know that an effective stress management program improves the quality of life.

f. Know why courtesies are rendered to the United States flag and the National Anthem.

g. Know why it is important to be a good democratic citizen and to be familiar with the

different forms of governments.

h. Know the importance of keeping yourself well and helping others stay well.

3. WELLNESS PROGRAM: Wellness is an official part of the Air Force Junior ROTC

program. It is an exercise program focused upon individual base line improvements with the

goal of achieving a national standard as calculated with age and gender. Wellness is

instrumental in developing citizens of character dedicated to serving our nation and

communities. The program is provided as a tool to help you develop individualized training

programs for your cadets. Cadets will be given the opportunity to put into practice the

wellness concepts that are taught in Leadership Education 100. The course objective is to

motivate JROTC cadets to lead active, healthy lifestyles beyond program requirements and

into their adult lives. The goals of the Wellness program are to:

a. Create an individualized training program based on national standards by age and

gender.

b. Identify areas of improvements for each cadet.

c. Incorporate a physical training program to reach goals.

SC-942 utilizes The President’s Fitness Challenge exercise program. The US Department

of Health and Human Services released the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans

on 07 October 2008. The comprehensive, science-based guidelines were developed to

inform policymakers and health providers about the amounts, types, and intensity of physical

activity needed to help Americans aged 6 and older, and of all abilities, improve their health

and reduce their risk of chronic diseases. Regular physical activity in adolescents promotes

health and fitness. Compared to those who are inactive, physically active youth have higher

levels of cardio respiratory fitness and stronger muscles. Their bones are stronger and they

may have reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression. Youth who are regularly active also

have a better chance of a healthy adulthood. They also typically have a lower Body Mass

Index (BMI). With higher BMI’s, an increased risk for certain diseases such as heart disease,

high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, breathing problems, and certain cancers may

develop. Adolescents don’t usually develop chronic diseases; however, risk factors for these

diseases can begin to develop early in life. Regular physical activity makes it less likely that

these risk factors will develop and more likely that adolescents will remain healthy as adults.

Key Exercises for Adolescents:

a. Curl-Ups (Sit-Ups)

b. Shuttle Run

c. Endurance run/walk (1 mile)

d. Right angle push-ups

e. V-sit reach

Key Guidelines for Adolescents: Adolescents should complete 60 minutes (1 hour) or more

of physical activity daily. Activity should consist of:

a. Aerobic exercises.

b. Muscle-strengthening exercises.

c. Bone-strengthening exercises.

Here’s a toast to the host of those who love the vastness of the sky.

To a friend we send a message of his brother men who fly.

We drink to those who gave their all of old,

Then down we roar to score the rainbow’s pot of gold.

HIGH FLIGHT

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth

Of sun-split clouds—and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung.

High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,

I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung

My eager craft through halls of air.

Up, up, the long delirious burning blue

I’ve top the windswept heights with easy grace

Where never lark, or even eagle flew.

And while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod

The high untrespassed sanctity of space,

Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Constitution of The Dr. Herschel Q. Peddicord Chapter

of the

Kitty Hawk Air Society

Preamble: We, the cadets of AFJROTC Unit SC-942 at Palmetto High School, in order to

uphold academic standards and promote further interest in academic achievement, create a

closer and more efficient relationship with the JROTC unit, serve the high school and

community, support airpower in its role in national security, and develop patriotism and good

citizenship, do hereby establish the Dr. Herschel Q. Peddicord Air Society. In doing so, we

do herein adopt the following constitution.

ARTICLE I

Section 1 – Name: The Kitty Hawk Air Society (KHAS) Chapter at AFJROTC SC-942 will

be known as the Dr. Herschel Q. Peddicord Air Society. This chapter is organized at

Palmetto High School, Williamston, South Carolina. This chapter is named in honor of Dr.

Herschel Q. Peddicord who served with the marines of the legendary Fourth Division during

World War II. For over twenty-one months of sustained combat operations, the “FIGHTING

FOURTH” established an unequaled reputation for amphibious excellence. The division was

the first unit to enter combat directly from the United States and the first to capture Japanese

territory. Over a period of thirteen months, they conducted four amphibious assaults: Ror-

Namur, Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima. The unit earned 12 Medals of Honor, 111 Navy

Crosses, and over 600 Silver Stars. After the war, Dr. Peddicord served in all aspects of

education over thirty-nine years. His teaching career began in 1951, at the Cordova School

in Orangeburg County. During his tenure, he served as a teacher, coach, and principal. In

1962, he attended Duke University. After a two-year sabbatical, he became the

Administrative Principal at Palmetto High School. Dr. Peddicord immediately developed

strategies to create a climate necessary for academic success and student achievement. In a

1971 concurrent resolution, the South Carolina Senate and House of Representatives

recognized Palmetto High School for its many outstanding achievements during 1970. From

August 1971 until his retirement in June 1992, Dr. Peddicord served as a graduate faculty

member and administrator at the University of Southern Mississippi. In the fall of 1985, he

was presented with the University Service Award. In 1991, the university president

designated as a “Distinguished Service Professor of Education”. At the time, this award had

only been awarded twice to a faculty member who was still employed.

Section 2 – Objectives: The Air Society objectives shall be to promote higher academic

standards, to be of service to the school and community, to promote self-confidence and

initiative, to develop leadership abilities, and to encourage academic excellence and

continued educational development in the post high school years.

meetings/activities. However, they will not be permitted to vote or hold office.

Also, members on probationary status will not be permitted to wear the

accouterments associated with Air Society membership. Probationary members

who meet the requirements for active membership during the next semester will

return to active status. Those who fail to meet the standards on the next semester

will be removed from the society. In addition, any member who is

suspended/expelled from school will be removed from the society.
