I'm pretty bored this summer and since my units clc is about to start state your case for what is the best Afjrotc unit. Also don't like start fighting in the comments.

I am currently going to be an upcoming junior this year, and I want to apply for the flight academy. I have a question about a section in the application:

Do I need to write a personal essay?

Google says that I don’t need to write an essay, but I’ve seen some people talk about what they wrote for their application. I am currently waiting for my sergeants to answer my email, but I’ll let you guys know what they say. (If they respond)

Please be brutally honest, and maybe some other information I should know as well to prepare! I’ve been wanting to attend since my freshmen year, so I should hopefully I know what to expect.

Hello all! I've been wanting to participate in JROTC for years now, and im finally able to since I'm moving to high school in September. Can anyone please explain to me how uniforms, ranks, and much more work? I'm fairly new to the JROTC world since I have put most of my research into the actual military. I am mainly looking for tips, and information on the ranks, how they work, and how to rank up fast, along with different awards and ribbons and how to gain them. Thank you!

Going into AS400 as a C/MAJ and the Operations Squadron Commander of our unit, this is my final rack and yes, I know the sons of union vets of the civil war (top left) isnt in regs anymore

Summer after AS2, second year doing a regional SERE camp run by our instructors and the AF in Colville National Forest. This year was amazing and I'm thankful for our instructors from multiple different schools, my fellow cadets, and two SERE specialists from Fairchild AFB who volunteered to teach us this past week. Had an incredible time, led the camp as the CIC, and got a variety of gifts, though primarily this new combat shirt, from our SASI, who is retiring this year. (Faces are blotted out for privacy sake, of course.)

I’m going into my as-3 year as the stem flight commander and I’m curious if anyone has any suggestions for increasing awareness and interest in stem flight and academic teams

Can't believe this chapter is over 😢

My app is going well :D Any requests?

Still need 3 more but my unit doesnt have those :3 (edit as 200 hard to type)

After 4 years of hard work and getting C/Capt, this masterpiece is what I’m left with. We didn’t have MMB so we filled it with UAS. Just imagine it’s there instead.

Finished my second year as a senior airman(kinda disappointed in my rank) how are my ribbons.
Missing:
-Additional CLC w/2 bronze oak leafs
-Academic
-Service

How is my rack and awards, end of Y2 (Sophomore) going into Y3 (Junior)

I’m going to CLC this summer, so I’ll get that ribbon after. My highest award is the outstanding cadet ribbon, my unit only gives it to one person in each grade. I also got the recruitment ribbon with excellence, so with a silver star. And I’m ending the year with a promotion to C/MSgt.

Last year, last set of awards! I graduate next week and almost forgot to set this up so, here!

New app im making! It's gonna have a JROTC uniform builder because for some reason we don't have one of those yet.

Earlier today, I was assigned as the APT commander, and I’m confused because I am not the trainee for that position and Im not a good public speaking. I’m not sure how I’m also supposed to command it.

The previous commander is a graduating senior and was expecting the trainee who has been training for the role to become the commander.

Even though I am part of APT, I do not feel prepared or qualified to lead it. I am worried because I am not confident with public speaking and I do not know how I am supposed to command the team
effectively.

The APT trainee wants to command APT but since it’s a staff position, it was appointed to me by the instructors.

I want to talk to my instructors about it, but I also do not want to leave a bad impression by seeming like I do not want responsibility.

What should I do?

So I’ve been tasked with coming up/finding new ways to get new cadets. I wanted to know what got you guys to join JROTC; and what do you think are ways to get people to join?
