Welcome Cadets
You have been chosen to join a very unique organization. It is more than just a class; it
is an experience. As a member of the MI-861 AFJROTC unit, it is our mission to inspire,
encourage, educate, and change your life. Our goal is to develop citizens of character
dedicated to serving their nation and community. We do this by providing you with a solid
foundation to become a contributing member of society and to help you unlock your full
potential as a student.
Belonging to this unit is a privilege, not a right. The Cadre reserves the right to
remove anyone from the program if they are not meeting the minimum standards required.
In order to maintain the high standards of courtesy, personal conduct, and appearance
required by MI-861, Garden City High School and the Air Force, you must meet the
standards of behavior, attitude, and courtesy that are established and taught. You must wear
the Air Force uniform on Esprit-de-Corps day and those days directed by the Senior
Aerospace Science Instructor. You will also be required to maintain an acceptable standard of
academic performance in all classes.
How you choose to participate in the AFJROTC program will ultimately determine
your enjoyment and success as a member of MI-861. Joining AFJROTC is NOT an
obligation to join the military.

means your word can always be counted upon and you can be trusted to accomplish your job.
❖ Service Before Self: Giving of yourself to provide for the welfare of others. Personal desires are not
considered in the concept of service.
❖ Excellence In All We Do: Doing the very best you can in each job you perform regardless of how
large or small, difficult or easy it is accomplished.

MI-861 Unit Creed
I am an Air Force Junior ROTC cadet and one of America’s finest citizens. My conduct brings honor
to my family, school, state, and corps of cadets. I do not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those that do. I am
accountable for my actions and deeds. I seek the mantle of leadership and embrace the Constitution, and the
American way of life. I am loyal and patriotic. I am the future of the United States. God Bless America.
Grading Policies on Attendance/ Absences/ Tardiness

The GCHS Attendance Policy is firmly followed by our unit. You are reminded that it is your
responsibility for making up any missed assignments upon your first day of return. If you’re absent for an
extended period of time, it is your job to retrieve and complete all assignments that you were not there to
receive.
Outside of Class Participation

Because a part of AFJROTC's mission is to serve the community you reside in, all cadets will be
required to participate in activities outside of the regular class schedule. Participation in a minimum of 2
activities is required per semester. There are many community service and regular events throughout the
year.
Class Participation
AFJROTC is designed to develop citizens of character with leadership skills. Oral discussion is a
critical part of the process, therefore, asking and answering questions and actively participating in class
discussions are an essential part of participation in class which will contribute toward your overall grade.
Rules For Reserve Cadet Participation

A reserve cadet is a student who has completed the entire AFJROTC Academic Program, or is in a
traditional schedule unit where the cadet cannot participate in the AFJROTC academic program for that
particular year. A student must have been a cadet for at least one academic year prior to being considered a
Reserve Cadet. Students meeting this criteria may be designated, with SASI concurrence, as a Reserve
Cadet. Reserve cadets can still participate in all AFJROTC activities (community service, drill team, field
trips, etc.). Time in reserve status doesn’t count towards the Certificate of Completion, nor do Reserve
Cadets count toward minimum unit enrollment or unit funding. Reserve Cadets may retain their uniform for
the entire academic year.
5
Evaluation
Your grades will be calculated based upon a general point system. Cadets are able to earn points
through a variety of activities that may include but are not limited to: assessments, classwork/homework,
projects (individual and group), parades, major events, wellness program participation and wear of the
uniform. If you miss 3 or more uniform days at the end of the semester, you fail the semester.
Grades
A = 92% C = 72%
A- = 90% C- = 70%
B+ = 88% D+ = 68%
B = 82% D = 62%
B- = 80% D- = 60%
C+ = 72% E = 59% - 0%
Weighted Factors
❖ Aerospace Science - 40% (Assessments, papers, oral presentation, classwork, homework)
❖ Leadership Education - 40% (LDRs, uniform wear, drill)
❖ PT / Wellness - 20% (Participation, effort, improvement)
❖ Final Exam - 10%
Note: Successful completion of AFJROTC is a grade of 70% or higher.
Homework/Assignments
Late homework/class assignments will lose points each day they are late. If the cadet is lawfully
absent on the due date, the assignment is due the first day back to school. When an assignment is not turned
in on the due date, a 10% per day (up to a maximum of four academic days) will be deducted from the grade.
After the fourth academic day, the cadet will receive a zero for the missed assignment. A weekly operation
schedule will be published in the classroom and website listing all the assignments/activities throughout the
week. The Flight Commander will be able to provide any aid as needed.
6
Disenrollment
Cadets may be disenrolled from the AFJROTC program for reasons deemed detrimental to the
overall success of the organization. The following are some reasons that the SASI may determine to disenroll
a cadet but is not all inclusive: Academic reasons, failure to wear the uniform or maintain the overall
grooming standards set forth, inappropriate behavior to include hazing, harassing, or physical discipline
towards other cadets, or any other reasons that the SASI determines distracts from the good order and
AFJROTC mission. Disenrollment will be sought in consultation with the ASI, school administration, and
the individual cadet and their parents/guardians; however, the final disenrollment decision is the sole
responsibility of the SASI.

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!(Give ‘err the gun!)
Down we dive,
spouting our flame from under,
Off with one hell of a roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame.
Hey!
Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force!”

Chapter 2
Inside the Classroom
Expectations
The expectations for all students can be summed up in the Air Force Core Values of “Integrity First,
Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do.”
During the first days of class, we’ll discuss how these statements are relevant to your success.
Students will sign a student contract and classroom procedures document. You’ll be expected to abide by
these procedures and guidelines of the Garden City School District. In addition, we firmly believe that most
high school students are mature enough to know what behavior is appropriate and respectful. If students
choose to participate in disrespectful or inappropriate activities, progressive actions will be taken.
Classroom Procedures
In addition to the standard classroom rules for GCHS students, all AFJROTC cadets have additional
classroom procedures they are expected to follow.
Preparing the Flight for classroom instruction:
❖ The Flight Sergeant will take attendance at the start of class and report to the Flight Commander. All
absences and tardies will be reported by the Element Leaders to the Flight Sergeant. The Flight
Sergeant will record attendance for the instructor.
❖ Students will then say the Cadet Creed.
❖ Absences and tardies will be documented by the instructor as required by school policies.
❖ No person will be reported as present unless they are in the classroom.
❖ When it is time to change classes, the Flight Commander will call the Flight to attention. Upon
receiving permission, the Flight Commander dismisses the Flight.
❖ Tardy cadets must wait inside the classroom until opening attendance procedures are completed, then
salute and report in saying: Sir/Ma’am: Cadet (last name) requests permission to join the flight. Once
permission is granted tardy cadets must show a pass and reason for tardiness, then proceed to the
appropriate seat.
❖ All classes will be conducted in a military manner. The following are a few of the rules of
conduct that will apply daily while in the classroom:
❖ Answer Sir or Ma’am to all in authority positions.
❖ Be prepared (writing instruments, notebooks, etc.) and on time.
❖ Be considerate, respectful, and courteous to others.
❖ First names shall not be used in AFJROTC. Only last names with the appropriate title will be used.
❖ Raise your hand and wait to be recognized before speaking, answering questions, or leaving your
seat.
❖ Cadets are only allowed in the AFJROTC classroom during their scheduled class periods unless
approved by an instructor.
❖ No food or drinks will be consumed in the classroom with the exception of bottled water. Gum
is NOT allowed.
❖ Use of the restroom requires instructor permission. Cadets are expected to use the restroom between
classes. Restroom passes will be given only if it is an emergency. Proceed to and from the restroom
quietly and quickly with a pass.

MI-861 Corps Staff Qualifications Include:

The Corps staff is the backbone of the cadet chain of command. The cadets selected for a position
possess true potential and leadership. They help function and maintain the unit. The organizational board in
the classroom lists each position on staff. At MI-861, we determine staff positions based on qualifications,
NOT seniority. Therefore, you may be able to hold a staff position if you are qualified and want one.
Qualifications include: academic performance, leadership, uniform wear, participation, maturity, attitude,
military bearing, and respect. Contact the SASI if you are interested in a position.
See chapter 13 page 46 for job descriptions.

Uniform and Appearance

Uniform Wear
AFJROTC cadets wear the same uniform as that by active duty personnel in the Air Force with a few
exceptions. Cadets are expected to honor the uniform, during indoor and outdoor activities, at Cadet
functions during base visits, and when you represent Garden City High School, AFJROTC, and the Air
Force. The key elements to maintaining a high standard of dress are: neatness, cleanliness, safety, and
military image.
Authorized Wear
Cadets are permitted to wear the uniform during all AFJROTC functions and to and from an activity
and/or school. Uniforms are not to be worn for personal use, employment, and/or recreation.
Esprit de Corps Day
Wednesday is uniform day for all Cadets. To receive credit, Cadets are to wear the uniform for the
entire school day. Failure to do so will result in a deduction in your uniform grade. In combo 1 uniform,
Cadets are required to keep their service jacket on for the entire day unless they are in a classroom
environment in which the uniform might be damaged. If school is canceled on a uniform day, cadets are
expected to wear their uniform the following school day.
*NOTE: Combo of the week is ALWAYS on our website*
https://mi861cougars.weebly.com
Physical Training Day
Physical training day is every Friday with exceptions such as a half-day or a pep assembly moving
Physical Training Day to Thursday. On this day, all Cadets must bring their PT uniform to change into during
their class period. The PT uniform consists of tennis shoes and a USAF issued t-shirt and shorts. All Cadets
will be issued a USAF PT uniform. All Cadets are required to tuck in their t-shirt into their shorts. Failure to
wear the entire PT uniform during their class period will result in a loss of 50 points.
Condition
Cadets are expected to have their uniform in serviceable condition at all times. This includes ironing,
dry cleaning, sewing on appropriate patches, etc.
Uniform Turn In
Cadets will return all items issued (with the exception of shoes, socks, white T-shirt, PT uniform and
any received ribbons) at the end of the school year. They will return a clean uniform in a cleaner’s bag,
pressed, and on hangers. Service dress coat, pants, shirts, ties, tabs, flight caps, and windbreakers are DRY
CLEAN ONLY. Failure to turn in the uniform dry-cleaned will result in Cadets not receiving their $25
deposit and possibly withholding of report cards and schedules.

Chapter 7
Customs, Courtesies, Restrictions
General Restrictions
Cadets will not gamble, smoke, consume alcohol, use illegal drugs, use disparaging remarks, verbal
threats or physical attacks at any time. Bullying others while in or out of class is highly restricted.
Headgear
Cadets will quickly and silently remove headgear with their right hand immediately upon entry into a
building, under a canopy, or cover.
Address
Cadets will address all adults, including instructors, by their rank, then last name. Another method is
to address them as Mister/ Misses, then last name, or as “sir” or “ma'am”. This also applies to cadets of
senior rank.
Hazing/Physical Discipline
Hazing is strictly forbidden. Requiring your fellow Cadets to perform pushups as punishment,
harassment, abusive language, and coercion of younger Cadets is prohibited.
Fraternization
While Cadets are encouraged to develop close friendships with their peers, fraternization while on
JROTC time is prohibited. Public Display of Affection (PDA), including hand-holding or hugging, is
forbidden. Any questions about this policy can be directed to the SASI or ASI.
Offices
The SASI and ASI offices are off limits to all Cadets. The Cadet Staff Office is off-limits to cadets
who are not assigned to a staff position. Entrance procedures are in accordance with AFJROTC procedure.
Reporting In/Out Procedures

When first entering the office of a cadre member you must report to them. To enter, knock ONCE
with clarity and crispness, and wait for the SASI or ASI to give you authorization to enter their room. When
reporting to an officer, render a salute. If enlisted, stand at attention and report in. You will say exactly this
when you report in: “Cadet ____ reports Sir/Ma’am.”. Once the Cadre member has acknowledged you, you
may state your business accordingly. Upon completion of your business, you need to report out. You will say
exactly this when reporting out: “Sir/Ma’am, cadet ‘your last name here’ respectively requests permission to
be dismissed.”Always remember to have a military fashion when reporting, this also means squaring your
corners and marching when walking in/out of the office.
Salutes
Cadets should render a hand salute outdoors to: all commissioned and warrant officers, Commander
in Chief of the Air Forces, United States Armed Forces, Officers of Friendly Foreign Nations, the Secretary
of Defense, the secretary of the Air Force, and the SASI.
Position of Honor
The position of Honor refers to the custom of walking or sitting to the left of people in senior
positions.
42
Receiving Line
A receiving line is a group of honored guests, who stand in line and individually welcome guests
usually at a military ball. Cadets will greet VIP’s at a formal function introducing themselves and their guest.
National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance Outdoors

AFJROTC cadets outdoors in uniform may render the military salute during the National Anthem or
Pledge of Allegiance facing the flag. If any cadets are outdoors and not in uniform, then they must stand at
attention facing the flag with their right hand over their heart.
National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance Indoors

AFJROTC cadets indoors in uniform with headgear on and in formation, may render the military
salute during the National Anthem or Pledge of Allegiance. While not wearing headgear, cadets indoors may
stand at attention and face the flag unless underarms. Cadets not in uniform indoors stand at attention facing
the flag with their right hand over their heart.
Taps
Upon hearing Taps at a military ceremony (military funeral/memorial ceremony), proper protocol
dictates those individuals in uniform render appropriate honors. Taps dates back to the Civil War, it was (and
still is) played by a single bugler. Back in the Civil War it was played at night to notify soldiers that all
unauthorized lights were to be extinguished, otherwise known as the last call of the day. In a sense, the
reason it is played at funerals or memorials is to signify those who gave their lives in the line of duty, calling
it their “last call of day”.
Dining Etiquette
Proper dining etiquette is essential during formal military dinners such as a Dining In or Military
Ball. This knowledge will be applicable for your whole life. Good manners and proper decorum is the rule.
❖ Arrival - When cadets arrive at this type of function they are expected to greet the VIP’s at the
receiving line. Male Cadets are expected to pull out a chair for the females at the table. When at
dinner and a female stands up, all males at the table will also stand up.
❖ Toasts - Toasting is usually done with water or tea. Once a toast has been verbalized, raise your glass
and repeat the toast. Keep your glass charged (not empty) when toasting.
❖ Dinner Procedures - Keep your hands on your your lap if unused. Keep your elbows off the table.
Place the napkin on your lap as soon as you sit. Sit up straight, with your feet under your chair and all
four chair legs grounded. Do not talk when you have food in your mouth. Each silverware piece is
arranged for use outside. If food is served first naturally, the outermost silverware pieces are for food.
Hold silverware like you would a pencil, not a shovel. When you're finished with a silverware piece,
lay it on top of the dish plate, don't prop it.

Special Teams and Leadership Development Requirements (LDRs)
An LDR is defined as: an AFJROTC sponsored event that takes place outside of school hours, is
Planned, Organized, and Executed (POE) by cadets, and is supervised by a certified AFJROTC instructor.
All AFJROTC cadets are encouraged to join at least one team within the AFJROTC program. To participate
on a special team, cadets must maintain a 2.0 or higher GPA, maintain a passing grade within all classes, and
have no behavior problems in the school or AFJROTC. (NOTE: For more information on each of these, look
in their Continuity Books.)
Academic Team - The AFJROTC academic team is composed of six members. The members may be
freshmen, sophomores or juniors, however, seniors are excluded. Members are selected based on their
grades, performance in the practice round, ability to work with a team, and enthusiasm for the competition.
Categories include JROTC curriculum, ACT/SAT prep, and current events questions.
Award Ceremony Planning Committee - The Awards Ceremony Planning Committee is in charge of our
annual Awards Ceremony for the cadets in our AFJROTC program. Cadets are encouraged to create new
ideas on how to improve the Awards Ceremony and work together to coordinate the planning, organizing and
execution. Responsibilities include creating and providing the menu, renting the cafeteria and auditorium,
setting up and cleaning up, the end of the year video tribute, the script, organizing the awards to be handed
out, and more.
Awareness Presentation Team - This team is designed to provide positive role models for middle school
and elementary school students. The team will make public presentations and skits at the elementary schools
discussing various topics. Members are selected by the SASI based on demeanor, verbal abilities and
professional appearance.
Cadet Challenge Team - The Cadet Challenge Team is a physical fitness team that competes against other
JROTC units across the state using the Physical Fitness Test. The events include curl ups, pull ups, shuttle
run, v-sit reach, and a 1-mile run. The team would have a schedule planned in order to meet in preparation
for the challenge. Cadets are supported along the way and encouraged to do their best no matter the fitness
level but do require dedication and attention to proper health.
Color Guard Team - The Color Guard Team has the honor of presenting and posting the national, state, and
school colors at important school and community programs. Practices are held before an event. Beginners are
welcome!
Cyberpatriot - CyberPatriot is the National Youth Cyber Education Program created by the Air Force
Association to inspire K-12 students toward careers in cybersecurity or other science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines critical to our nation's future. At the core of the program is
the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition, the nation's largest cyber defense competition that puts high
school and middle school students in charge of securing virtual networks. Other programs include AFA
CyberCamps, an elementary school cyber education initiative, a children’s literature series, and
CyberGenerations –a cyber safety initiative geared toward keeping senior citizens safe online. (Currently not
active at MI-861).
44
Drill Teams - Here is a chance to polish the basic skills learned on drill day. Drill teams perform at selected
pep assemblies and learn intense routines to perform at competitions. Practices will usually be held before
school unless otherwise noted. Teams include armed, unarmed, armed exhibition, unarmed exhibition, first
year armed, first year unarmed, armed impromptu, and inspection team. Contact the drill coaches if
interested. Beginners are welcome!
Flag Detail - Flag Detail consists of individual cadets that work together to raise the American Flag near the
schools main entrance in the mornings. These individuals should see this as an honor and learn proper
respect for the flag and how to ceremonially raise the flag. They are an elite part of the Corps and many
witness the raising of the flag as they drop their students off in the morning. The assigned team of 3 cadets
meet before the start of the school day and have the flag raised on the pole prior to the first bell. (the number
of cadets on the team determines the frequency each member will be required to raise the flag)
Kitty Hawk Air Society - The Kitty Hawk Air Society is the official Honor Society of the AFJROTC
program. Invitations are extended to Cadets of good character who have an overall “B” 3.0 grade average
with no failing grades, and an “A” average in AFJROTC during the past semester. Cadets are required to
complete a pledge program to join. Activities include monthly meetings, service events, and team-building
programs.
Military Ball Planning Committee - For MI-861, our Military Ball is like our PROM, therefore it requires
extensive planning and task managing in preparation for the event. The purpose of our Military Ball is to
honor the Air Force, allow cadets to enjoy the event, and target recruiting and retention. The committee’s
reign controls the Military Ball Court, the menu, seating, decor, flyer/pamphlet, script, schedule, grog bowl,
permission slip, etc.
Model Rocketry Club - The model rocketry program provides an opportunity for cadets to learn the basic
principles of aerospace rocketry. During the program, the cadets get the opportunity to design, build and
launch model rockets and perform in appointed team positions. Model rockets that are built will use safe
engines. Successful completion of program requirements makes cadets eligible for the model rocket badge.
(NOTE: Model Rocketry Club is currently not ongoing in MI-861 but is open to start up if the right cadet is
interested.)
Room Beautification Planning Committee - The AFJROTC room is not only a classroom but a chance for
cadets to take pride in the program. The committee listens to and creates new ideas to improve the room.
They may be painting, drawing, creating entirely new features, or organizing the room to be more efficient.
Art inclined or not, all cadets are welcome to have their own ideas to improve the room and possibly leave
your legacy behind for future cadets to see.
*NOTE: All cadets are highly encouraged to join at least one of these teams*

participate in the various corps functions outside the classroom. To participate, cadets must maintain a 2.0 or
higher GPA, be passing all classes and have no behavior problems in the school or AFJROTC.
Activities
Activities are the events that can be viewed as more social. Participation in these events can be

wonderful examples.
Community Service Events

MI-861 participates in several community service events throughout the school year. Examples of
projects include: Needy Family, Adopt a Highway, Cougar Care Café, and much more. Participation in these
events can be counted toward the Service Ribbon. Cadets who sign up are expected to attend the event.
Curriculum-In-Action Trips (CIA)
CIA Trips are the Field Trips that make the AFJROTC Program so exciting and directly support or
serve the AFJROTC curriculum. Examples of past CIA trips include: U of M AFROTC Campus tour, Young
Eagles, Civil Air Patrol, and Selfridge Air Force Base. These trips are voluntary and fundraising may be
required. To qualify cadets must be in good standing in AFJROTC, have a 2.0 GPA, and no suspensions.

Chapter 11
Unit Promotion Policy
The purpose of a promotion policy is to give cadets enrolled in AFJROTC the opportunity to
advance up the chain of command. Rank does not define who a cadet is or their ability to contribute to the
unit. There are two types of cadet rank: 1) Permanent and 2) Temporary.
Permanent Rank is what all cadets start off with, and it will increase when a promotion is granted or
when you applied for a promotion. It will also increase as long as cadets successfully complete time within
the corps.
Temporary Rank is a rank that is only assigned to cadets serving in a staff position. If a cadet is no
longer serving in a staff position, the cadet will revert back to their permanent rank.
Cadets in MI-861 will apply for promotion twice a year at designated times (specifically 9 weeks
after the start of the semester). Once cadets meet the minimum requirements, they can sign up to take the
promotion test. Cadets who qualify for a Senior NCO or Officer Rank are required to appear before a board
of senior staff. Spot Promotions can be awarded at the SASI’s discretion. This rewards cadets who have
earned significant accomplishments or have displayed exemplary conduct and leadership. A special order
listing all cadet promotions will be released at the SASI’s discretion. Promotions will not be awarded until
the special order is published and signed.
New cadets who have transferred from another JROTC unit such as: Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and
Air Force JROTC will attain a rank based upon the number of years for satisfactorily completing JROTC, at
the SASI’s discretion.
Cadets who are suspended will be demoted to a rank determined by the SASI depending on the
reasoning for your suspension. This could result in a reduction as far as to Airman Basic.
Due to the Group Organization, not every cadet who applies for promotion will receive it. All test
dates, deadlines, and boards will be announced in advance. Cadets enrolled in MI-861 prior to the
establishment of this policy or not given the opportunity to apply will be “grandfathered” under
the prior policy unless otherwise noted. Final decisions always reside with the SASI and ASI.
50

Officer Promotion Policy:
Not every cadet enrolled in AFJROTC can become a commissioned officer. Based on the
size of our unit only 10 – 20% of the Cadet Corps can be officers. Selection of officers is
based on the following criteria:
1. To apply for an officer rank, a cadet must have served as an NCO (Staff Sergeant or
higher) for at least one semester. This requirement may be waived by the SASI.
First-Year cadets can be considered for an officer rank if they have served in at least one of the Corps
staff positions and have held an NCO rank for at least one semester. All first–time cadet officers (regardless
of year in AFJROTC) will begin at the rank of Cadet Second Lieutenant unless otherwise noted by the SASI.
There will be no skipping of cadet officer ranks. Cadets on Senior Staff may attain a higher officer rank.
Example: A squadron commander can be promoted to Cadet Major, based on the position held. Seniors will
not automatically be awarded officer ranks based upon grade or seniority.
All special orders and the results of the NCO/officer promotion boards will be
released at the SASI’s discretion.
SASI and ASI reserve the right to appoint officer positions as needed based on needs
of the corps.

Cadet Board Procedures
AFJROTC Cadets can appear before a board for different reasons including: Cadet of the Semester, Military
Ball court, promotion, or disciplinary measures. Boards will be conducted in the AFJROTC room and cadets
must be in proper uniform and on time. When given the cue cadets will knock once and wait for permission
to enter. Square your corners and salute, provide a reporting statement to the board president.
Sample Reporting Statement:
Sir/Ma’am: Cadet ___________reports to the board as ordered.
Once permission is given, you may take your seat and follow the directions from there as given. Cadets
appearing before boards should be sitting at the position of attention. At boards, cadets are evaluated based
upon grooming, attitude, military bearing, and correct answering of questions. Discussion with other cadets
of the questions asked will result in a removal from the board. Once the board is completed, provide a
reporting out statement and leave the AFJROTC room. These procedures will be reviewed in class for all
cadets to practice. The senior staff, SASI, and ASI preside over all boards to ensure board action is fair and
just. Board actions are only recommendations, and the SASI is the final approving authority for actions
recommended.
