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!
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under, Off with one heck of a roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame, Hey! Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

Here's a toast to the host of those who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we will 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
A toast to the host of men we boast, the U.S. Air Force!

Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder, sent it high into the blue;
Hands of men blasted the world asunder; how they lived God only knew!
Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer, Gave us wings, ever to soar!
With scouts before and bombers galore, Hey! Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

Off we go into the wild blue yonder, Keep the wings level and true;
If you'd live to be a gray-haired wonder Keep the nose out of the blue!
Flying men, guarding our nation's borders, we'll be there, followed by more!
In echelon we carry on, Hey! Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

Cadets,

The California 20141 Air Force Junior ROTC Unit was established at Beaumont High School in
the Spring of 2014 by agreement between the Beaumont Unified School District and the United
States Air Force. The Air Force Junior ROTC curriculum includes aerospace related academic
instruction and leadership training. The Unit is managed and operated by cadet commissioned and
noncommissioned officers.

Your senior Group staffs, together with the instructors provide this Cadet Guide to reduce
confusion and aid you in becoming an AFJROTC role model. The Cadet Guide contains policy,
guidance, requirements, and rules of conduct for AFJROTC cadets at Beaumont High School. Each
cadet is required to study this guide and will be held responsible for its contents on examinations.
Remember - it is only a guide and not a substitute for initiative, common sense, and good judgment.

Congratulations to each of you on your decision to join in the AFJROTC program. We wish
you success and personal satisfaction as members of Beaumont High School's CA-20141
AFJROTC Cadet Unit.

CHAPTER TWO
APPEARANCE OF CADETS

You wear the official uniform of the United States Air Force. Proper conduct, actions, and attitude will create
and sustain a favorable public reaction, which will enhance the image of the Unit. Objectionable behavior in
public can create an unfavorable reaction towards AFJROTC and the Air Force. Therefore, as an Air Force
JROTC cadet, you must strive to always present a neat, clean, and well-groomed appearance.

MALE CADETS:
-Hair will be clean, well groomed and neat. If dyed, it will look natural and will not contain excessive
amount of grooming aids. Hair will not touch eyebrows when groomed or protrude below the front band of
properly worn headgear. Hair will have a tapered appearance on both sides and back; both with and without
headgear (a tapered appearance is one that when viewed from any angle outlines the individuals hair so that
it conforms to the shape of the head, curving inward to the natural termination point). Block cut is permitted
as long as it has a tapered appearance. Hair will not be worn in an extreme or fad style or in such a way that
exceeds length or bulk standards or violates safety requirements. Hair will not touch the ears and only closely
cut or shaved hair on the back of the neck may touch the collar. Hair will not exceed 1 inches in bulk,
regardless of length and not exceed inch at the natural termination point. Hair will not contain nor have
any visible foreign items attached to it. Male cadets whose hair is not in accordance with the above rules will
have points deducted from their uniform grade. Step or braided hairstyles, Mohawks, and lines or
initials/lettering shaved into the head are not authorized, nor are other bizarre hairstyles, including a
partially shaved/bleached hair or dyed unnatural colors.

-Shaving - the face will be clean-shaven.

-Mustaches are permitted. If worn, mustaches will be neatly trimmed, must not extend downward beyond the
lip line of the upper lip and may not extend sideways beyond a vertical line drawn upward from the corner of
the mouth. Beards or goatees are not permitted.

-Sideburns, if worn, will be neatly trimmed. Sideburns will not extend below the lowest part of the external
ear opening, will be straight and even width (not flared), and will end with a clean-shaven horizontal line.

-Piercing/Tattoos body piercings (including tongue rings) are not allowed in uniform. Tattoos (if you have
them) will not be visible and will be within current Beaumont High School and USAF Instructions.

-Male cadets will not wear earrings while in uniform.

FEMALE CADETS:
-Hair will be clean, well groomed and neat. If dyed, it will look natural. It will not contain an excessive
amount of grooming aids. Hair will not touch eyebrows when groomed or protrude below the front band of
properly worn headgear. EXCEPTION: Hair may be visible in front of the womens flight cap. Hair will be
styled to present a professional appearance. Plain and conservative pins, combs, headbands, elastic bands,
and barrettes similar to the individuals hair color are permitted to keep hair in place. Hair will not be worn
in an extreme or fad style or violate safety requirements. Hair will not extend in length on all sides below an
invisible line drawn parallel to the ground at the bottom edge of the shirt collar at the back of the neck. Hair
will not exceed 3 inches in bulk or prevent proper wear of headgear. Hair will not include hair ornaments
such as ribbons or jeweled pins.

6
-Piercing/Tattoos body piercings (including tongue rings) except for earrings are not allowed. Tattoos (if
you have them) will not be visible and will be within current Beaumont High School and USAF Instructions.
-Earrings female cadets are authorized to wear one small spherical, conservative, diamond, gold, white
pearl, or silver pierced, or clip earring per earlobe and the earring worn in each earlobe must match. Earring
should fit tightly without extending below the earlobe. This applies always when in uniform.

-Nails/nail polish. When female cadets wear nail polish while in uniform, it should be conservative in color
with intact application (not chipped). Nails ornamentation is not permitted.
-Makeup should reflect a natural and professional appearance. Excessive makeup is not authorized.

CHAPTER THREE
WEARING THE UNIFORM & INSPECTIONS

The reputation of the USAF as a professional military organization is known worldwide. Since the uniform
you wear is a symbol of that reputation, each cadet in the AFJROTC program at Beaumont High School must
wear it properly. The importance of this cannot be overemphasized, since the uniform, except for the
insignia, rank and patches, is very similar to that worn by active duty Air Force men and women.

Protecting government property is each cadet's responsibility. All uniform items (with the exception of shoes
and socks,) AFJROTC textbooks, computers, charts, etc., are equipment items loaned to you by the Air
Force. Other items of equipment belong to or are the responsibility of Beaumont High School. Each item of
the uniform and of equipment must be accounted for at all times.

-If you lose an item, or willfully or negligently damage/destroy it, you will be required to pay for it. The cost
of replacement will be the cost that is in effect when the account is cleared.

-The complete uniform with all accessories and insignias (with the exception of shoes and socks) must be
returned or paid for before the end of the school year. Neither the AFJROTC Certificate of Training
nor the Certificate of Completion will be awarded until a ll uniforms and equipment items have been
turned in. In addition, a financial obligation will be incurred which will disallow graduation, registration, or
transfer of credit until satisfied.

-To preclude unnecessary expense to the cadet and/or delay of receipt of grades or diploma, and to provide
for efficient turn-in of uniforms and equipment, the following suggestions are offered:

-Do not leave uniform items in unlocked lockers or unattended in other places at school.

-Do not lend insignia or other uniform/equipment items to your friends.

-Do place your uniform number on each uniform item with suitable clothing identification
tape/marker. Ensure bleed-through will not occur.
-Do be alert for uniform or equipment items left or misplaced by another cadet. Turn in such items to
the Logistics Officer.

-When turning in or exchanging uniform items or other equipment, turn them in clean.

7
-Clothing items that become worn or otherwise unserviceable should be turned in as soon as
possible. If the unserviceable condition is due to fair wear and tear in normal use, the item will be
replaced at no cost. If the unserviceable condition is deliberate or due to negligence you will be
held financially responsible. Items of clothing that do not fit properly should be altered or
exchanged.

THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE UNIFORM IS ONE OF THE SYMBOLS OF A


PROUD AND ColorABLE SERVICE. WEAR THE UNIFORM WITH THE CARE
AND PRIDE IT DESERVES.
-UNIFORM OF THE DAY: Cadets must wear the required uniform on Uniform Days (usually
Wednesday) field trips, orientation flights, and at other times as directed. It must be worn correctly
throughout the Uniform day, except when dressing out for P.E. or a similar overriding circumstance.

the nose, approximately 1" or one finger width above the eyebrows. When worn in this manner, the vertical
crease of the cap will be fully extended without a protruding tip at the back. If your cap does not fit in this
manner, it is either too large or too small. See the military Property Custodian (PC) for a trade. It is always

beyond the buckle facing the wearers right; no blue fabric shows.

-The slacks should fit naturally over the hips with no bunching at waist or bagging at seat; bottom front of
slack legs rests on the front of shoe or boot with a slight break in the crease; back of legs is approximately
7/8 of an inch longer than the front. Articles carried in the pockets will not be visible. The zipper tab will be
pressed down to permit the fly to be neatly closed.

-The skirt should hang naturally over the hips with a slight flare; skirt length will be no shorter than the top
of the kneecap or longer than the bottom of the kneecap. When worn properly the zipper will be on the left
side.

-The short-sleeve blue blouse is worn with the collar open (Exception: the tie tab is optional with the
short-sleeve blue blouse unless otherwise directed). The tie tab will always be worn with the long-sleeve
blouse. Ensure bottom of blouse is not visible below the bottom of service dress coat, pullover sweater or
lightweight jacket. Wear with available service skirts or slacks.

CHAPTER FOUR
PROTOCOLS: SALUTING, PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, NATIONAL ANTHEM RULES,
ATTENDANCE
- Military personnel consider the salute a courteous and respectful greeting among members, and it is one of
the oldest traditions binding military people together.

-When outdoors and in uniform at Beaumont High School, saluting is always required. Salute when you
recognize the person as an officer and eye contact is made with him/her within about 6 paces.

-The salute is rendered indoors only when cadets are reporting to cadet officers or an instructor.

-A salute is never given or returned while running.

-Cadets not in uniform may salute as if they were in uniform.

-If a cadet in uniform observes the American flag being raised or lowered from any flagstaff, he or she will
assume the position of attention, render the hand salute and hold it until the flag has reached the summit or
base of the flag staff. If the cadet is in civilian clothes, he or she will assume the position of attention and
place the right hand over the heart. If a male cadet is wearing civilian attire including headgear, he will
remove the headgear and hold it to his left shoulder so the right hand is over the heart.

-Pledge of Allegiance is recited and a cadet is in uniform indoors, the cadet should stand at attention, face the
flag and recite the Pledge.

-If the Pledge of Allegiance is recited and a cadet is in uniform outdoors, the cadet should stand at attention,
remain silent, face the flag, and render the hand salute.

-If the Pledge of Allegiance is recited and a cadet is not in uniform and is either indoors or out of doors, the
cadet should stand at attention, face the flag, and recite the pledge. The right hand is over the heart during the
recitation, and males will hold hats, if worn, as described above.

-If the National Anthem is being played, and a cadet is in uniform and is indoors, the cadet should face the
flag (if present, if not, face the music,) remain silent but not salute unless under arm.

-If the National Anthem is being played, and a cadet is in uniform and is outdoors, the cadet should stand at
attention, face the flag (if it is visible, or the music if it is not,) remain silent and salute until the anthem is
completed. (If no flag is visible and the music is recorded, the cadet should simply face straight ahead while
saluting.)

-If the National Anthem is being played, and a cadet is not in uniform and the cadet is outdoors, he/she
should stand at attention, face the flag, and place the right hand over the heart (men will also hold the hat in
the right hand as described in 8.6 above). If in civilian clothes, indoors, the cadet will stand at attention and
face the flag, if visible or the music if it is not.

-If a cadet is late for a formation, he or she will approach the cadet or person in charge when the formation is
at a halt, salute, and request permission to fall-in.

-Cadet Officers and cadet NCOs should correct saluting errors in a courteous and helpful manner when such
errors are committed by cadets junior to them. All cadets are expected to accept such corrections properly.

CHAPTER FIVE
CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

AFJROTC CO-CURRICULAR/EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: T hese activities are designed


to reinforce portions of the Aerospace and Leadership Education objectives. They also serve to stimulate
cadet involvement in AFJROTC activities and to increase cadet morale and esprit-de-corps. All guidelines
and requirements for these activities will be initially developed by the SASI/ASI. The SASI/ASI will be
responsible for the supervision and control of these activities. Cadets must be in good academic and
disciplinary standing to participate in Unit activities. These activities include but are not limited to:
Co-Curricular activities are cadet led events. Conduct of the programs below depends on cadets level of
interest. For instance, if only a few cadets are interested in rocketry, the program will not be conducted until
there is sufficient interest to justify the resources required to make it happen.

COLOR GUARD. The Color Guard has the Color of presenting the national, state, and USAF flags at
school and community events. Distinctive uniform items will be worn by the Color Guard. Training for
Color Guard will be throughout the school year.

DRILL TEAMS. The AFJROTC Drill Teams will represent CA-20141 in drill competitions and at
ceremonial functions.
- The drill teams perform precision drill maneuvers at school and squadron activities. The drill team also
marches in parades positioned behind the Color guard. The armed and unarmed drill teams execute these
maneuvers. They show rifle performances and the unarmed perform drill techniques and other
maneuvers.

TECHNOLOGY-BASED TEAMS - The technology-based teams take part in activities that require
technology, such as cyber defense and drone flying.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES. Various social events will be held, including a Dining-In/Out, a Military Ball,
Picnic and Field Day, etc. These events will be planned by the Group staff and are open to all members of
the Unit.

ATHLETICS. The unit may field volleyball, touch/flag football, and basketball teams against other
AFJROTC units or other High School organizations during the school year. Such activities are the primary
responsibility of the Group Athletics Officer.

FUND-RAISING. Various fund raising activities will be conducted to support the above functions. Parent
approval is required to participate. The success of any fund raising effort depends largely on the support of
each cadet. The AFJROTC Booster Club will be a key participant in these events.

SERVICE TO SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY PROJECTS. Various volunteer opportunities will be


coordinated throughout the school year. They will be advertised both in the classroom and on the CA-20141
web site.

AWARDS CEREMONIES. Cadets will receive ample notification of award ceremony dates in order to
invite family members and guests. This event is open to the public.

CERTIFICATES OF COMPLETION AND TRAINING

There are two types of certificates that may be awarded to AFJROTC cadets. They are the CERTIFICATE OF
COMPLETION and the CERTIFICATE OF TRAINING. Descriptions of each follow.

-CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION. Awarded to cadets who satisfactorily complete at least three years of JROTC.

armed forces to gain the benefits offered by successfully completing JROTC.

-With the CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION, the cadet may be excused from one year of the General
Military Course (GMC) of the senior AFROTC program. This privilege must be arranged with the Professor
of Aerospace Science (PAS) at the time of enrollment in the college or university.

-If the cadet elects to enlist in the USAF, the CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION will provide promotion to
pay grade E-3 (Airman First Class). AFJROTC graduates may also be eligible for advanced enlistment in the
other military services. Promotion at the time of enlistment provides for a monetary benefit.

-CERTIFICATE OF TRAINING. Presented to cadets in good standing who successfully complete two years of
AFJROTC. With this certificate, a cadet may be excused from one academic term (semester or quarter) of the GMC of
the senior AFROTC program. This privilege must be arranged with the PAS at the time of college or university
enrollment.

-"Satisfactorily completed" in paragraph 1 means both a passing letter grade for the year and a grade better than
"Unsatisfactory" in citizenship; otherwise, a student has not satisfactorily completed the course.

-SCHOLARSHIPS. AFJROTC nominates the best-qualified cadets for scholarships provided cadets meet the
minimum Air Force requirements. Scholarship (depending on type - may have limits) pay for tuition, books, lab fees
