CADET HANDBOOK
I.
ORGANIZATION
The Piscataway High School Air Force Junior ROTC unit is organized as a
group consisting of up to six flights. Each flight consists of at least two
elements. See attachment #1 for the organizational chart.
II.
MISSION - Cadets are expected to memorize the following and may be
tested in either verbal or written format:
A. The mission of AFJROTC is to “Develop citizens of character
dedicated to serving their nation and community”
B. The AFJROTC core values are:
1. Integrity First
2. Service Before Self
3. Excellence in All We Do
III.
AEROSPACE SCIENCE AND LEADERSHIP EDUCATION
The Air Force Junior ROTC program is divided into three parts. The
Aerospace Science portion consists of classroom instruction and
represents 40% of the JROTC program. The leadership portion of the
program consists of Leadership Education and Corps training activities.
This portion of the program represents 40% of the total curriculum. The
remaining portion is drill and ceremony/physical fitness, which are the final
20% of the program.
A. AEROSPACE SCIENCE: The Air Force furnishes texts books that are
used in this series of studies. Subjects include the history of flight, the
study of aeronautics, rocketry and space exploration, the psychology of
flight, navigation, meteorology, survival, astrology and global studies.
B. LEADERSHIP EDUCATION: The development of Air Force traditions,
customs and courtesies are studied. Values such as U.S. Flag
etiquette, respect for authority and military discipline are practiced
through military drill and ceremonies. The principles of honor, integrity
and allegiance to our country are examined and considered essential
elements in character development. Communication skills are
emphasized along with practice in problem solving, human relations,
application of logic and other managerial skills.
5
IV.
CADET APPOINTMENTS
A. The Senior Aerospace Science Instructor (SASI) selects the Cadet
Corps Group Commander, Deputy Group Commander, Kitty Hawk
Commander, Deputy Kitty Hawk Commander, Drill Team Commander,
Color Guard Commander and Flight Commanders. These selections
are based upon recommendations of the Aerospace Science Instructor
(ASI) and the current Corps Group Commanders. The criteria used to
select the commanders includes academics, accomplishments while in
the Cadet Corps (particularly in their AS III year), and a cadet’s
demonstrated ability to manage and lead in an outstanding manner.
B. To compete for the Group Commander and other positions, cadets are
assigned to mid-level managerial positions where they gain leadership
experience and demonstrate their capabilities to be effective role
models for the rest of the corps. The Cadet Group Commander will
select his/her own staff with the approval of the SASI and ASI. All
cadet appointments are announced and published in Special Orders
(Attachment #2).
V.
ROTATION OF CADET POSITIONS
A. Under normal circumstances, Cadets Corps Commander and Deputy
Commander positions may be rotated at the end of the first semester
in order to provide capable senior cadets with the experience of the
command. There should be instances where cadets stay in their
original assignments to preserve continuity of management and
leadership for the good of the Corps.
B. Cadets positions in the Flights may be rotated more frequently to
enhance leadership and management training. Rotations of these
positions will be limited to full marking period time frames. The criteria
used to select cadets for Flight positions will be student grades in
JROTC that were earned during the recently completed marking
period. Merit points will not be used when considering cadets for
managerial postings. Positions in the Flights will be published in
Special Orders (Attachment #2A).
VI.
PROMOTIONS
A. CRITERIA: The following criteria will be used to select a cadet for
promotion: a test/quiz grade average of 80% of higher in the JROTC;
attitude; citizenship traits; compliance with appearance and behavior
standards; experience; initiative; maturity; and communication skills.
Merit/demerit positions will only be used as a tie-breaking tool in
deciding between two equally qualified candidates. Promotions will be
published in Special Orders (Attachment #2A).
6
B. CADET RANKS: AS I Cadets begin as Airman Basics and progress
according to the criteria listed above. AS II, III and IV’s return at the
rank held the previous year. With exception of those positions listed in
paragraph IV A, all staff positions are temporary grades and rank while
filling that specific position. When an individual posting is complete,
the individual will revert back to their highest permanent rank held.
C. MAXIMUM RANKS: The Unit Manning document (UMD) lists the
highest rank a cadet may hold for that position (Attachment #3). A
cadet may not be promoted higher that the UMD indicates without first
being moved to a position to commensurate with that rank. The only
exception is a merit promotion. Examples of these types of promotions
are: airman of the quarter; airman of the half and other special awards
as determined by the SASI and ASI. In these rare cases, a cadet may
be promoted to one grade higher than that dictated by the UMD.
D. FREQUENCY OF PROMOTIONS: Cadets will be considered for
promotion at the end of the first semester and the end of the third
marking period. Spot promotions may occur at any time at the
discretion of the SASI. Spot promotions will be used to recognize
exemplary accomplishments by individual cadets.
VII.
MILITARY CUSTOMS AND COURTESIES
A. Military customs and courtesies will be observed at all times while in
uniform and in the AFJROTC classroom/work areas.
B. A free discussion of ideas relating to a lesson will be encouraged in
order to develop and analyze subjects. However, discussions on a
subject will be discontinued if, in the judgement of the SASI or ASI,
military customs and courtesies may be violated.
VIII.
CADET CONDUCT
A. AFJROTC Cadets are taught to function with a minimum of
supervision.
Cadets are responsible for their own action at all times. Inappropriate
behavior, in and out of uniform, is prohibited while participating in
AFJROTC. This behavior includes, but is not limited to, comsuming
alcohol, drug abuse, tobacco use, horseplay, public displays of
affection, fighting, disparaging remarks, insubordination, disrespect,
verbal threats, physical attacks, creation of disturbances, cheating on
tests, a display of insolent attitude or behavior, stealing or failing to
comply with the uniform and appearance standards are considered
serious breaches of discipline. Cadets must always display a high
degree of professionalism. Cadets who fail to abide by requirements of
this paragraph will be referred to the Cadet Review Board for further
action. Ref: AFJROTCI 36-2001, para 8.4
7
B. Cadets may be disenrolled from AFJROTC on recommendation from
the Senior Aerospace Science Instructor and approved by the principal
for the following reasons. Ref: AFJROTCI 36-2001, para 7.3.1.
1. Failure to maintain acceptable standards (conduct, uniform
wear, and grooming)
2. Inaptitude or indifference to training.
3. Disciplinary reasons
4. Other reasons deemed appropriate .
C. Cadets suspended from school may be removed from supervisory or
leadership positions and reduced in the rank as determined by the
SASI.
D. Cadets involved in fights while in uniform may be immediately removed
from the JROTC program by the SASI. Cadets who remove their
uniform to become involved in a fight will also be eliminated from the
program.
E. It is the responsibility of each cadet to use good judgement at all times.
Watching a fight is considered bad judgement on the part of the cadet.
Upon seeing a fight, the cadet must seek teacher assistance. While a
fight is being handled by a teacher, cadets must leave the area where
the fight is occurring. Being involved in a fight degrades the uniform,
the Cadet Corps and will not be tolerated.
IX.
CADET OFFICER AND NCO AUTHORITY/RESPONSIBILITY
A. Cadet Officers are authorized to give orders to cadet’s junior in rank to
them. This authority will be confined to the JROTC classroom and on
uniform day when passing between classes throughout the school.
Additionally, cadet officers have no authority to change or modify
existing orders or regulations.
B. Cadet Officers and Senior NCOs are authorized to take charge and
direct subordinate cadets in the performance of the JROTC leadership
training. They will judiciously enforce military discipline at all times and
will never demean, belittle or harass subordinate cadets. Cadet
officers and NCOs are responsible for providing a proper example at
all times.

A. A student who has previously failed the AFJROTC course for the year may
only re-enroll with the approval of the SASI. Approval is based on the results
of a personal interview with the student and/or parent.
B. Cadets will not be issued their uniform until they meet Air Force grooming
standards. Failure to meet standards will result in loss of the 20% uniform
grade and possible removal from the program. Cadets who do not properly
return uniform items will be issued a grade of Incomplete (I) for a grade until
the situation is corrected.
C. The grading policy represents a breakdown of how students will be evaluated.
Second and fourth marking periods will have a Mid-term and Final exam,
respectively.
D. The 341 system is one that has proven to be effective as a military
excellence/discrepancy reporting form. The form itself is a small, easily
carried slip of paper that has the possessing cadet's name, rank, and flight on
it. The system at our unit, requires each cadet to carry a minimum of two 341
forms on their person each uniform day. If a cadet officer, or certain cadets
responsible for cadet discipline, such as Cadet Command Chief, Cadet First
Sergeant, and Cadet Flight Sergeants, were to observe an instance of
excellence, or an instance requiring disciplinary action (such as not wearing a
hat outside), the cadet in the position of authority would go up to said cadet
from the aforementioned scenario and request a 341, to be filled out and
placed in the Group Commander's mailbox. At the end of each Thursday,
these forms would be consolidated and turned into the SASI or ASI for
appropriate actions to be taken, such as reductions or increasing of uniform
grade.
E. MERIT AND DEMERIT POINT SYSTEM: The merit point system is designed
to reward superior performance and to penalize inappropriate behavior. A
Rubric is used to determine points earned during a given marking period.
However additional points may be added/subtracted for receiving
Merit/demerit points. However, points may be deducted by the SASI/ASI as
described in the following paragraph. Cadet Officers may recommend merits
or demerits but only the SASI and ASI are authorized to assess these points.
F. DEMERITS: The following are examples of situations in which demerits may
be given by the SASI or ASI. Failure of the cadet to understand the
significance of the assigned demerits may result in the filing of a disciplinary
referral with the appropriate principal, a Cadet Review Board, or both actions.
1. Instances of disorderly conduct. This includes talking out of turn and
moving around the classroom without permission.
2. The use of foul language.
3. Lateness to class or not being seated when the bell rings.
4. Wearing civilian items with the uniform such as a jacket, tennis shoes, or
civilian coat.
5. Any inappropriate conduct as deemed necessary by SASI/ASI.
9
G. Rubrics: To set measure of consistency in grading, Rubrics have been
developed in the following areas: Leadership, Visual Presentations, Writing
Assignments, Reports and Merit/Demerit/Class participation/Preparedness.
These rubrics are located at appendix #17.
XI.
HONOR FLIGHT COMPETITION
A. PURPOSE: Honor Flight competition is designed to improve the
performance of cadets and to develop an appreciation for discipline
and teamwork. Its ultimate objective is the development of Esprit de
Corps. Honor Flight only applies to AS I and AS II flights.
B. HONOR FLIGHT ASSIGNMENT: The winner of the quarterly Honor
Flight competition will be selected on the basis of the average quiz
grades and drill-off for the marking period. In the event of a tie, merit
points will be the tiebreaker. All flight members will be authorized to
wear a chord identifying them as members of the Honor Flight.
XII.
CADET AIRMAN OF THE QUARTER
Each quarter, one cadet from the AS I or AS II/lll class will be chosen as
“Cadet of the Quarter.” The cadet must have an average of 80% or above
test/quiz grade average. Selection criteria include personal conduct,
participation in Corps events, uniform wear, discipline and attitude. The
winner will be announced to the Corps and will be authorized to wear a
special cord for the month.
XIII.
CADET REVIEW BOARDS
A. PURPOSE AND DUTIES
1. The purpose of the Cadet Review Board is to provide Cadet
Officers and NCOs with a meaningful leadership tool by which to
manage Cadet Corps conduct.
2. The duties of the Board are to review, evaluate, and submit
recommendations to the Cadet review Commander concerning
individual cadet breaches of discipline.
B. BOARD MEETINGS
1. The Cadet Group Deputy Commander will be responsible for
convening a Review Board with the approval of the SASI.
2. Cadets appearing before the Cadet Review Board will be notified
by letter (Attachment #7) at least seven (7) schools day in advance
of the Board. This letter will include the date, time, place, and
purpose of the Board.
10
3. All cadets selected as Cadet Board members or who are appearing
before the Board must be in uniform as prescribed in the Weekly
Bulletin.
C. AUTHORITY OF THE BOARD
1. Cadet Review Boards will be initiated by one of the following
events:
a. A cadet accumulates an excessive amount of demerits,
negative 341’s or absences during a semester.
b. A cadet brings discredit or embarrassment to the Corps of
cadets, the school or the Air Force by his/her actions.
c. Not wearing the uniform in a satisfactory manner.

Members of the Cadet Review Board will be appointed by the
Cadet Group Commander in writing (Attachment #6) and be
approved by the SASI.
XIV.
SALUTING
A. PURPOSE: Exchange of a military salute is a privilege enjoyed by
personnel in good standing who wear the uniform of the United States
Armed Forces. The military salute can be traced back to the armies of
ancient civilizations. The traditional hand salute is used by most
modern countries to show respect and trust among members of the
armed forces. It is a military way of rendering a greeting, saying
“hello.”
B. WHEN TO SALUTE: The hand salute will be rendered by all JROTC
cadets, when in uniform, under the following conditions:
1. All cadets, regardless of grade, will exchange the salute with
commissioned officers of the United States Armed Forces and
those of allied nations (outdoors only).
2. The salute will be exchanged between cadets enlisted members
and cadet officers (outdoors only).
3. Cadets of the vicinity of a flag pole will stop and salute the U.S.
Flag whenever it is being raised or lowered (outdoors only).
4. The salute is rendered indoors only when reporting to a
commissioned officer of the United States Armed Forces or cadet
officer.
11
5. The military salute is considered appropriate as a sign of greeting
and respect. If there is any doubt about whether or not to salute, a
salute should be rendered.
6. The salute is not rendered while running. In situations such as this,
slow to a walk, salute, then resume running.
7. The salute is rendered only once to a senior officer that remains in
the vicinity of the cadet and no conversation has taken place. If a
conversation takes place, the junior ranking cadet again salutes the
senior officer upon departing or when the senior officer leaves.
8. A junior ranking cadet will always begin a salute in time for a senior
ranking cadet to return the salute.
XV.
PERSONAL COURTESIES
A. In addition to the formal salute, cadets should be careful to observe
personal courtesies in their association with officers. These courtesies
are normally acts of civility and politeness.
B. Military personnel must be properly addressed by their rank. For
example, address the SASI as Major Taylor and the ASI as Chief
Williams. Addressing a JROTC cadet is done in the same manner
preceded by “Cadet.” For example, Cadet Major Smith. Civilians
should be addressed by their proper title such as Mr., Mrs., Dr., etc.
XVI.
CLASSROOM PROCEDURES
A. CLASSROOM opening: When the school bell rings to signify the start
of class, the Cadet Flight Commander will bring the class to attention in
the following manner. Standing at attention, the Flight Commander will
give the command “Flight.” The flight will rise from their seats on the
left side and stand at Parade Rest. Upon hearing the command
“Attention,” the flight members will come to attention. When given the
command “element leaders report,: the leader of the first element will
salute and report; “first element all present and accounted for” (or
number absent). The flight commander will then return the salute and
the procedure will be repeated for the other elements in succession.
On Uniform wear Thursdays, the Pledge of Allegiance will be recited at
this time. The Flight Commander will then give the order “seats” at
which time the flight members will take their seats.
B. CLASSROOM DISCIPLINE: All cadets are expected to exercise
outstanding discipline and self-control in the JROTC classroom and
offices. Demerits, 341’s, or disciplinary referrals will be issued for
disorderly conduct.
C. CLASSROOM CLOSING: The flight will be called to attention as in the
CLASSROOM OPENING procedures. After the flight is called to
12
attention, the command “dismissed” will be given at which time flight
members may leave the classroom in an orderly manner.
D. CALLING ROOM TO “ATTENTION”: When the SASI or Cadet Group
Commander enter or depart an area, the first cadet seeing that activity
will stand and call the room to “Attention”. Cadets will remain at the
position of ATTENTION until given further direction.
XVII. STAFF MEETINGS
A. The Cadet Group Commander will conduct Group staff meetings as
required. The date and time of the meeting will be flexible and will be
published in the Weekly Bulletin in advance of the meeting.
B. Cadet Group Staff Officers, First Sergeant, and Senior Enlisted Advisor
MUST attend the meetings listed in A above. If a member of the staff
is not able to attend a meeting, a typed letter using the Attachment #6
format will be given to the Group Commander/Deputy Group
Commander at least one day in advance of the meeting. This
notification will include the reason for non-attendance and the name of
the staff member who will represent the absent person.
C. The Information Management Officer will be responsible for recording
and maintaining minutes from these Group meetings. A military
formatted letter (Attachment #6) will be prepared to document the
minutes from the meeting. A copy of this will be submitted to the SASI
for review and approval.
XVIII. UNIFORMS, INSIGNIA, PERSONAL APPEARANCE AND CONDUCT
A. POLICY
1. The JROTC cadet uniform is, with certain exceptions, the same as
that which is worn by active duty personnel. This uniform is the
distinctive dress of a proud and honorable profession. Each cadet
must be aware of their responsibility for maintaining his/her uniform
in good order and wearing it proudly and correctly.
2. SMOKING IS PROHIBITED: Using tobacco products and/or
possessing them is against school rules. Any cadet found in
possession of these types of products will be referred to a review
board for further disposition. Any Staff Officer discovered
possessing these products will be removed from his/her position
and may also be referred to a disciplinary board. Using these
products will result in removal from the program.
3. Cadets that hold a staff position have the option of being issued
either a lightweight jacket or the all weather coat. A cadet that
removed from a staff position must dry clean the jacket and return
it the ASI. An all weather coat will be issued as a replacement.
13
B. UNIFORM ISSUE
1. All JROTC cadets will be issued a complete uniform free of charge.
Uniforms that are returned for any reason will be inspected for
cleanliness and condition. Cadets will be charged for any uniform
or uniform accessory that needs to be cleaned.
2. Cadets will not be issued their uniform until they meet Air Force
grooming standards. Failure to meet standards will result in loss of
the 20% uniform grade and possible removal from the program.
C. STANDARDS OF PERSONAL APPEARANCE
1. Each member of the JROTC must maintain the highest standards
of dress and appearance. It is imperative that all members present
a neat and well-groomed appearance. The need for personal
cleanliness and proper wear of the uniform on the part of all
members requires that certain minimum standards be established.
2. Uniforms must be kept clean, neat, and in good condition.
Uniforms will be kept buttoned, including pockets. Shoes will be
shined and kept in good repair. Badges, insignia, belt buckles and
other metallic devices must be maintained in proper luster and
condition.
3. Cadets will not write, draw, or stamp any words, slogans or pictures
in any visible body parts when in uniform. This includes designs
cut into the hair.
4. Rings attached to the ears, the nose, tongue, and eyelids or any
other visible body parts will not be allowed while in uniform.
5. Cadets are warned about newly pierced ears. Since a prolonged
period of wearing studs is necessary for this process, ladies must
check the regulation for placement. Male cadets are not allowed to
wear earrings with the uniform; therefore the best course of action
is not to obtain any new piercing during the school year.
D. UNIFORM WEAR AND INSPECTION
1. All cadets are required to wear the uniform every Thursday,
“Uniform Day,” and on other days deemed appropriate by the SASI.
If a cadet is absent from school or on a field trip on “Uniform Day,”
he/she must wear the uniform on Friday. Failure to wear the
uniform on three occasions during any marking period will
result in a failing grade for that time frame.
2. The uniform is to be worn the entire school day except where it is
clearly inappropriate (gym, shop, and lab). Immediately after these
classes, the uniform must be worn. In-proper wear of the uniform
will result in points being deducted from the appropriate uniform
grade.
14
3. Proper wear of the uniform is a grade that will be assessed each
Thursday. Grades start at 100% and will be reduced according to
the following criteria during the first marking period. Point values
may be doubled during the second through fourth marking.
(Commonly occurs after a week of non uniform wear) Points may
be cumulative, if a cadet receives the same infraction week
after week.
a. Grooming (hair, finger nails, shaving) – 10 points each
b. Uniform cleanliness – 10 points
c. Insignia, Gig line, Strings, Lint– 5 points
d. Poor shoe shine – 10 points
e. Missing uniform item – 10 points each
f. Unexcused uniform wear – 25 points for each missed day
g. Improper wear of uniform – 25 points
4. Cadets will be inspected prior to all field trips. Cadets that fail
grooming or uniform standards will be removed from the trip.
5. Civil Air Patrol uniforms will not be worn in place of the JROTC
uniform.
6. Permanently shined (corfam) shoes are not authorized for cadets.
7. Uniform items issued to cadets are only authorized for wear during
weekly uniform day, at parades, during drill competitions or at any
other cadet functions as authorized by the SASI/ASI.
E. MALE UNIFORM STANDARDS
1. Articles such as wallets, pencils, pens, necklaces, pins, jewelry,
headphones, cell phones, handkerchiefs, combs, multiple rings on
one hand and sunglasses will not be worn or carried exposed on
the uniform. The wearing of wristwatches, identification bracelets,
