Greetings and Welcome: In July 2000, St. Martin High School (SMHS) AFJROTC, MS-20002 was established as part of the curriculum available to all 9th-12th grade students. In August 2009, the program was opened to students attending Vancleave High School. Many graduates of AFJROTC will go on to pursue secondary education opportunities, successes in civilian jobs, or careers in military service. We intend for this program to be fun and exciting. We strive to produce outstanding citizens dedicated to improving their school, community, and the United States of America. First year cadets will be introduced to the AFJROTC program and focus on military traditions, aerospace science and leadership. Our second, third, and fourth year cadets will continue to increase their knowledge of aerospace science, history, and leadership practices, while assisting the new cadets in becoming knowledgeable, effective, productive, and proud members of St. Martin High School AFJROTC. More information regarding the curriculum for AFJROTC may be found on the JCSD web page under “Clubs, JROTC. http://www.jcsd.k12.ms.us/smhs/smhsmain.htm” Cadets: This Cadet Guide is intended to aid each of you in attaining and maintaining the high standards that will prepare you for positions of leadership. The guide stresses good order and discipline, self-reliance, and pride in self and the corps. These standards apply to both new cadets as well as experienced cadets. They are your standards. Always strive to meet or exceed all standards and you will enjoy unparalleled success. The SMHS AFJROTC E-Mail is [email protected] The success of MS-20002 AFJROTC depends on each of you. Collectively, you will help build a tradition of great value in our local community and the St. Martin and Vancleave High Schools. While the curriculum emphasizes citizenship, it is also designed to improve your abilities as a leader, manager, and supervisor. It will prepare you for leadership positions of increased responsibility and help you fulfill your assigned AFJROTC role. The course also stresses the importance of independent efforts and continual self-improvement. Avoid negative people and surround yourself with positive attitudes. In addition to the classroom training, you will have many opportunities to participate in co-curricular activities such as: Academic Bowl, Cyber Patriot, Drill Team, Model Rocketry Team, Saber Team, Color Guard, fund raising projects, military balls, field trips, and community volunteer projects. We encourage each of you to take part in as many activities as possible and share your experiences with your family and friends. Our commitment is to you. We want to provide you the highest quality support with facilities, instructional materials, and personal attention as possible. Our goal is to help each of you realize your full potential and become a successful, responsible citizen. We are glad you are now a part of our AFJROTC Family. JOHN C.

• Assume the position of PARADE REST: (NO TALKING) • Remain for the duration of the operations briefing

Upon completion of the Operations brief, the Flight Commander will release the cadets to be seated. Flight Commanders will report the attendance to their Squadron Commanders. The Squadron Commander will report the attendance of both flights to the SASI. (ASI in the absence of the SASI) Cadets will sit in assigned seats, facing forward at all times, with both feet on the floor. The Flight Commander and Flight Sergeant will be responsible for ensuring military discipline is maintained. No food, lunch trays, drink or chewing gum will be allowed in the classroom unless authorized by an instructor. After the tardy bell rings, cadets will not be allowed to go the restroom until after the designated 30 minute waiting period unless it is an absolute emergency. If the superintendent, principal, teacher, an adult, or any visiting officer in uniform enters the classroom, the first cadet to see the person will immediately call the class to attention. Approximately 5 minutes before the dismissal bell rings, the Flight Commander will order the flight to organize the classroom. After which, the Flight Commander will report out to the Squadron Commander who will then check the Flight Room before giving dismissal permission. When the dismissal bell rings, the Flight Commander will stand at attention and call the flight to attention. The Flight Commander will then command “MOTIVATION CHECK” and the flight will respond in unison “MS2-TRIPLE ZERO TWO HOORAH!” An original flight motivation check would also be acceptable. After the Motivation Check, the Flight Commander will then dismiss the Flight.

CLASSROOM AND SUPPLY ROOM The flights will keep the classroom in a clean, neat, orderly condition and configuration. The responsibility for the condition of the supply room is shared with the Chief of Logistics (LG). Trash will be placed in trashcans. Tables, chairs and desks will be returned to their original positions, and chalkboards will be left as they were found. To the maximum extent possible, the classroom chairs will be stacked on Friday to assist the custodians in the performance of their duties. The Supply Room is OFF LIMITS at all times to cadets without permission of the ASI, SASI, or Logistics Chief. The Supply Room is “closed for business” on uniform wear days.


341’s AFJROTC EXCELLENCE/DISCREPANCY REPORT

341’s (three forty ones) are forms used to document both excellence and discrepancy behavior of cadets. For Excellence When a cadet is witnessed performing a good deed or exceeding expectations, he/she may receive a “341” for Excellence. This may come from within or outside AFJROTC leadership. For Discrepancy When a cadet is witnessed violating standards he/she may be receive a “341” for Discrepancy. This may come from within or outside of AFJROTC leadership. 1st — Verbal Warning (Function Supervisor) 2nd— Written Counseling 3rd — Call home and 1 week probation (Instructor) 4th —Demotion (Evaluation Board) All documented 341’s will be reviewed by the Squadron First Sergeant and documented and will count toward promotion or demotion decisions. If necessary, Squadron Commanders will be informed. CADET CONDUCT The goal of AFJROTC is to develop citizens of good character; therefore cadets are expected to operate with a minimum of supervision and display outstanding citizenship qualities. Creation of disturbances, display of an inappropriate attitude /behavior, or failure to comply with uniform and appearance standards are considered serious breaches of discipline. Cadets who are suspended from school (ISI/OSS) may meet a cadet evaluation board for appropriate disciplinary action and recommendation. If a cadet is in a leadership position or a cadet officer, that cadet may be considered for removal from the leadership position and may be reduced in rank. Cadets will use the terms “Sir/Ma’am” when addressing an instructor or cadet officer of higher rank. This courtesy shall also be extended by cadets to all teachers in the high school. Harassment or hazing of any cadet regardless of rank is strictly prohibited. Any type of physical, mental abuse or punishment is prohibited. Improper or abusive language, coercion of lower ranking cadets for personal gain will not be tolerated. Directing someone of lower rank to perform humiliating acts is strictly forbidden. (Includes Kittyhawk pledges) Flight Commanders are responsible for briefing their flights on this policy and the policy in the JCSD Student Handbook (Grades 10-12) once every semester and documenting this briefing in the Flight Commander binder.


PLEDGE OF ALLEGENCE Cadets in uniform will remain at the position of attention. If the cadet is wearing civilian clothes, the cadet will place the right hand over the heart as the pledge is recited. Pledge procedures apply for cadets in all classes, not only the AFJROTC classroom. DISENROLLMENT AFJROTC instructors may recommend disenrollment of a cadet to the principal. This action is the last step, preceded by documentation and corrective counseling, to maintain the morale and discipline of the unit. AFJROTC does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, or pregnancy status. A cadet may be disenrolled for: 1. Failure to maintain standards (includes uniform / PT clothing wear / grooming). 2. Inaptitude or indifference to training.

3. Disciplinary reasons. 4. Any other reason deemed appropriate by the AFJROTC instructor or the principal. GRADING CRITERIA A cadet’s grade is an average of the accumulated scores earned for workbook assignments, quizzes, tests, uniform inspection, and physical training.

APPEARANCE AND GROOMING Since a cadet wears the uniform of the United States Air Force, any improper behavior or conduct in school or in public while in uniform can create an unfavorable impression of the AFJROTC Program and the USAF. On the other hand, proper conduct, action and attitude will enhance the image of the corps. AFJROTC is a full-time activity. Each AFJROTC cadet must constantly strive to present a neat, clean and well groomed image. Cadets will be required to maintain these standards. The uniform must be worn every block on all assigned uniform days. Cadets must ensure they are within standards the entire academic day. On uniform days, it is required Cadets wear the uniform to and from school. Take your uniform off when you arrive home unless otherwise granted permission by SASI/ASI. RESTRICTIONS Certain restrictions apply while wearing the AFJROTC uniform

• No use of tobacco of any kind • No Public Displays of Affection (PDA) • No cursing • No alcohol (and remember you are not 21) • No horseplay • No heavy manual labor • No hitch hiking (never a good idea) • No fighting (another bad idea) • No student protest/demonstrations or political rallies

UNIFORM WEAR Most AFJROTC units have published information on the cadet uniform and how to wear it. They base these directives, handbooks, or regulations on Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2903, Dress and Personal Appearance of Air Force Personnel, which describes the proper wear of the Air Force Junior ROTC cadet uniform and insignia.

MALE GROOMING GUIDELINES HAIR Hair must be kept clean, neat, and trimmed. It must not contain large amounts of grooming aids such as greasy creams, oils, and sprays that remain visible in the hair. When your hair is groomed, it should not touch your ears or eyebrows, and only the closely cut or shaved hair on the back of your neck should touch the collar.

Your hair should not exceed 1 1⁄4 inch in bulk regardless of the length. Bulk is the distance that the hair projects from the scalp when groomed (as opposed to length of the hair). The bulk and length of your hair must not interfere with wearing any Air Force headgear properly, and it must not protrude below the front band of the headgear. Your hair must have a tapered appearance on both sides and back, both with and without headgear. A tapered appearance means that, when viewed from any angle, the outline of the hair on the side and back will generally match the shape of the skull, curving inward to the end point. Your hair may not contain or have attached to it any visible foreign items. If you dye your hair, it should look natural. You may not dye your hair an unusual color or one that contrasts with your natural coloring. You may have sideburns if they are neatly trimmed and tapered in the same manner as your haircut. Sideburns must be straight and of even width (not flared) and end in a clean-shaven horizontal line. They may not extend below the lowest part of the outer ear opening. No extreme of faddish hair styles are allowed.


FEMALE GROOMING GUIDELINES

HAIR Your hair should be no longer than the bottom of the collar edge at the back of the neck. Your hairstyle must be conservative—no extreme or faddish styles are allowed. It should also look professional and allow you to wear uniform headgear in the proper manner, so your hair must not be too full or too high on the head. In addition, your hairstyle shouldn’t need many grooming aids. If you use pins, combs, barrettes, elastic bands or similar items, they must be plain, similar in color to your hair, and modest in size. Wigs or hairpieces must also conform to these guidelines. Minimum length is one inch unless approved by the SASI for medical reasons, 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 (PTU), 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.


JEWELRY While in uniform, you may wear no more than one wristwatch and no more than three rings at any one time. You may wear one bracelet if it is neat and conservative. However, the bracelet must not detract from military image, must not be wider than one-half inch, and must not subject anyone to potential injury. You may not wear ornaments on your head or around your neck. Thumb rings are not allowed in uniform. Colored bracelets that support a cause are also not allowed.

Female cadets in uniform may wear earrings if the earrings are conservative and kept within sensible limits. For example, you may wear one small spherical (diamond, gold, white pearl, or silver) pierced or clip earring on each earlobe. The earring worn in each earlobe must match. Earrings should fit tightly without extending below the earlobes, unless they are clip earrings. Male cadets in uniform may not wear earrings. EYEGLASSES OR SUNGLASSES If you wear glasses, they must not have any ornaments on the frames or lenses. Eyeglass lenses that are conservative, clear, slightly tinted, or have photosensitive lenses may be worn in uniform while indoors or while in military formation. When outdoors and in uniform, sunglasses and eyeglasses must have lenses and frames that are conservative; faddish or mirrored lenses are prohibited. Sunglasses are not allowed while in a military formation. Neither eyeglasses nor sunglasses can be worn around the neck while in uniform.

FINGERNAILS Male Airmen are not authorized to wear nail polish. If worn by females, nail polish will be a single color that does not distinctly contrast with the female Airman’s complexion, detract from the uniform, or be extreme colors and must be worn on all fingers. Some examples of extreme colors included, but are not limited to, purple, gold, blue, black, bright (fire engine) red and florescent colors. Do not apply designs to nails or apply two-tone or multi-tone colors; however, white-tip French manicures are authorized. Fingernails must not exceed ¼ inch in length beyond the tip of the finger and must be clean and well-groomed. Fingernails must not interfere with the performance of assigned duties. Fingernails must not hinder proper fit of prescribed safety equipment or uniform items.

TATTOOS OR BRANDS Whether you are in or out of uniform, tattoos or brands anywhere on the body are not allowed if they are obscene or if they advocate sexual, racial, ethnic, or religious discrimination. Tattoos or brands that might harm good order and discipline or bring discredit upon the Air Force are also barred, whether you are in or out of uniform. The SASI may exercise discretion if a new cadet arrives with a tattoo that may not be in full compliance with the above guidance. The tattoo may be covered up with a skin-colored bandage while in uniform and still participate in the program. However, tattoos and brands should be discouraged. The cadet should be counseled on the fact that tattoos and brands may preclude him or her from serving in the military.


BODY PIERCING Cadets in uniform are not allowed to attach or display objects, articles, jewelry, or ornamentation to or through the ear, nose, tongue, or any exposed body part (including anything that might be visible through the uniform). CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE Protection of government property is each cadet’s responsibility. The USAF loans all uniform items (except shoes and socks) and equipment items to each cadet. These items remain the property of the Air Force. All clothing and items of equipment must be accounted for by the cadet at all times. Each cadet will be required to sign a Custody Receipt form for all uniform items and other military equipment at the time of issue. The uniform and other items become your personal responsibility until it is returned to AFJROTC. If a cadet loses an item or it is destroyed or damaged, the cadet will be required to reimburse SM AFJROTC for the cost of replacement except normal wear/tear. The cost of the uniform a cadet is issued is a maximum of $624.00. Each cadet will receive one professionally cleaned complete uniform and accessories. All uniform items (except shoes / socks) must be returned professionally cleaned (with a current dry cleaning tag attached) upon completion of each term/semester. Failure to turn in uniform items will result in fines and withholding of report cards or transcripts. NOTE Put your name on each item in an inconspicuous place (washing instruction tag). Keep up with items, and under no circumstances, lend any item to another cadet. Be alert for uniform items or equipment misplaced by other cadets and turn all found items into the Logistics Chief. Clothing items that become worn or otherwise unserviceable due to normal wear and tear should be turned into the ASI as soon as possible. The items will be replaced at no cost as long as the condition of the item is due to normal wear and tear. If a cadet is responsible for the item’s condition through misuse or neglect, then the cadet must pay replacement cost for the item. If a uniform item does not fit a cadet should have it replaced as soon as possible. Rifles will not be taken off school property unless performing official duties. At no time will they be taken home. Rifles will only be checked out for the following activities:

1. Drill Team/Color Guard Practice 2. Drill Team/Color Guard Competitions 3. Color Guard Presentation of Colors/parades

Rifles must be returned and secured at the end of each event. An instructor must always be present when rifles are being used. Team members will be issued a numbered rifle and remain responsible for their rifle at all times. Rifles will always be stored and locked when not in use. Horseplay will not be tolerated with any equipment. Improper or unsafe use of rifles, such as aiming at individuals, may result in the cadet being removed from the team.

PHYSICAL TRAINING (PT)/PT UNIFORM WEAR

All cadets will participate in PT and will complete the mandatory Healthcare Questionnaire and return it to the instructors to maintain in the cadet files. Every cadet is expected to perform to their fullest capability. If a cadet refuses to participate, they will receive a zero for the PT day. The only authorized excuse is a phone call from the parent before PT is conducted or a written doctor’s excuse. Parent notes will not be accepted. Cadets will be issued summer PT clothing in the 1st Semester and winter PT clothing the 2nd

Semester. Cadets are required to wear white socks (not provided) with all PT uniforms. PT uniforms consist of shorts, t-shirts and sweatpants. Shirts may be worn out or tucked in. The normal PT day will be on Friday unless directed otherwise. Cadets are expected to bring weather appropriate issued PT gear for wear during PT. Failure to bring any single item of PT clothing i.e., a cadet brings issued shorts and T-shirt, but fails to wear athletic shoes, will result in the following:

• 1st offense - 25 points deduction in your PT grade for that day • 2nd offense - 50 points deduction in your PT grade for that day • 3rd offense - 75 points deduction in your PT grade for that day • 4th offense may result in result in term failure

Cadets should also bring a water bottle to remain safely hydrated during physical exertion. Most PT days will consist of doing Wellness exercises or a one mile run; however, if flight behavior has been exceptionally good, the instructors will allow cadets to play a team sport such as kickball, football, or frisbee. On occasion cadets will wear PT clothing to a picnic, field trip, or a car wash.


CADET APPOINTMENTS AND ROTATION The SASI selects the Cadet Group Commander (Gp CC), Deputy Commander (Gp CD), and Operations Support Squadron Commander (OSS CC). These three cadets will be referred to as the Top 3. The Top 3 will then submit a special order recommending the remaining cadet staff positions to the SASI for approval. The final approval lies with the SASI after coordinating with the Top 3 and the ASI. Once Flight Commanders have been approved, they will then select cadets to fill flight level jobs. For all appointments, all cadets chosen for staff must have at least an overall “C” average the previous semester with no “F” in core subjects (excludes electives). It is important these individuals display a positive attitude and have shown they are capable of teamwork.

PROMOTION POLICY AND PROCEDURES The purpose of promotions is to have a visible system of reward and recognition for cadets showing potential for positions of increased responsibility based on performance. A cadet’s appearance, behavior, academic ability, attitude, and willingness to follow rules and procedures will identify them as candidates for promotion. Cadets, both officer and enlisted, are evaluated each nine weeks for promotion consideration. Promotions are never automatic and must be earned. Favoritism is not allowed. PERMANENT GRADE Freshmen - Cadet Airman Basic Sophomores - Cadet Airman Juniors - Cadet Airman First Class Seniors - Cadet Senior Airman NOTE Permanent Officer Status will be awarded to cadets holding officer positions for two or more complete semesters.
