    Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps AFJROTC Arlington Independent School District Developing citizens of character dedicated to serving their community and nation. 1 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 2 TX-031 AFJROTC WING Texas 31st Air Force Junior ROTC Wing was established in Arlington Independent School District in 1968 by an agreement between the Arlington Independent School District and the United States Air Force. The Senior Aerospace Science Instructor (SASI) is a retired Air Force officer. Aerospace Science Instructors (ASIs) are retired senior non-commissioned officers. These instructors have an extensive background in leadership, management, instruction and mentorship. The students who enroll in Air Force Junior ROTC are referred to as “Cadets”. The entire group of cadets is referred to as a Wing. The Cadet Wing is “owned”, managed and operated by students referred to as Cadet Officers and Cadet Non-commissioned Officers. Using this cadet organization structure, allows cadets to learn leadership skills through direct activities. The attached cadet handbook contains policy guidance, requirements and rules of conduct for AFJROTC cadets. Each cadet will study this handbook and be held responsible for knowing its contents. The handbook also describes cadet operations, cadet rank and chain of command, job descriptions, procedures for promotions, awards, grooming standards, and uniform wear. It supplements AFJROTC and Air Force directives. This guide establishes the standards that ensure the entire Cadet Wing works together towards a common goal of proficiency that will lead to pride in achievement for our unit. Your knowledge of Aerospace Science, development as a leader, and contributions to your High School and community depends upon the spirit in which you abide by the provisions of this handbook.

  • Background Paper
    BACKGROUND PAPER ON AIR UNIVERSITY/ESCHOOL OF GRADUATE PROFESSIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION THE FLIGHT COMMANDER’S EDGE 1. The purpose of this background paper is to provide an overview of The Flight Commander’s Edge, an Air University (AU) program which supports the establishment of wing-level Flight Commander courses by 1 Jun 19 (per CSAF memo, 1 Jun 18, titled “Squadron Revitalization Implementation Plan”). This program supports local efforts to “establish Flight Commander/leader courses focused on key skills needed to succeed in this first essential level of leadership.” 2. In early 2018, the CSAF tasked AU to create course content options for wings to execute mission-specific Flight Commander Leadership Courses and formally highlight the roles and responsibilities of command as defined in Air Force Instruction 1-2, Commander’s Responsibilities. The Flight Commander’s Edge is a program established by AU and managed by the eSchool of Graduate Professional Military Education (hereinafter, eSchool) for this effort. 3. The eSchool, through The Flight Commander’s Edge, has provided a variety of tools and products which support local course development. The use of eSchool-provided content is not required; however, wings may find it useful for quickly deploying local Flight Commander Leadership Courses. 4. The Flight Commander Leadership Course is a Wing Commander’s program. The eSchool does not set nor mandate policy or guidance regarding the implementation or execution of these courses. Each wing is required to determine how it will implement and allocate appropriate support for its own course. So far, most units have indicated the course will reside under the FSS Professional Development Center with the Career Assistance Advisor serving as the Course Director/Lead Facilitator.

    Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps Detachment 930 Newsletter Spring Semester 11 May 2020 Air Force ROTC Mission: “Develop leaders of character for tomorrow’s Air and Space Forces.” Highlights: Meet the Cadre Meet the Cadets Leadership Laboratory Physical Training 2019-2020 Events Field Trainees & Seniors Det 930 Alumni Senior Send Offs Page | 1 A Letter from the Commander Ladies and Gentlemen, As we look back at the 2019-2020 Academic Year, I am extremely encouraged by everyone’s progress, both individually and as a cadet wing. Cadet Kelly and Cadet Campbell have done a wonderful job of running the Cadet Wing and you all have supported them every step of the way. Our retention of new cadets has improved significantly from the average over the last 5 years. Historically the Det has done a good job of recruiting but not retaining. This has led to several very small graduating classes and diminished the overall viability of the Detachment. If we can continue the current trend there is no reason we won’t meet and eventually exceed HQ AFROTC production viability metrics. Looking even farther out, our incoming class is looking particularly strong based in large part to your efforts. The welcoming atmosphere that has been created is magnetic. Several of our new AY 20-21 cadets have expressed that a significant part of their decision to join us was based on their interactions with all of you. Although Field Training has been a topic of frustration, we are able to welcome 13 out of 13 sophomores into the POC next semester.
