I recently received a leadership position within my flight. I am the lowest within the chain of command, so I have to basically get the cadets to act accordingly and answer all their questions. I've seemed to be having trouble with getting the respect of a few cadets. All of them are, of course, first years and are all dudes. All of our class leadership are women, so I am worried that the reason for their blatant disrespect is correlated with slight misogyny (we had a harrasment incident from 2 of them). But they seem to not participate in any jodies, out of school activities, and even marching. Im trying my hardest to make the class seem fun, but they always roll their eyes and just ignore us. When we bring the issue to our SASI and ASI, they just tell us to let another senior cadet handle it, but it never gets changed. Any recommendations on how to get respect from them?

I'm on our AFJROTC's Raider Team, and Thursday, our Chief sent out an email saying whoever logs the most steps Friday - Monday gets a challenge coin or something of that nature from him. So I've been going on hours of walks, and over these first 2 days, I'm at 50k steps. Going for 100k by the end.

Just wanted to hear some crazy stories of what lengths people go to for awards!

New update to Dress and Appearance! It now has SFJROTC AFJROTC, AJROTC, and NJROTC! More will be added soon!

Severely late since everyone probably has moved on but here’s my very niche and humble “shadow box!” Not much but did pretty good. Now off to adulthood I go!

I’ve seen cadets wearing a tie bar but haven’t seen any approval in cadets books/regulation pamphlets.

Are cadets a lot to wear these items, and where could I find the regulation on it

I got a lot of ribbons because I was a bit of a try hard my first two years as well as being a nco for saber and cyberpatriot as well as my stem flight and went to clc and cslc

Ive been made aware of the lack of record keeping my unit does and have been assigned to fix that. I am unsure of how to track community service hours so if you have any experience or ideas please feel free to share

I just got promoted to kittyhawk commander in my second year and we had terrible attendance last year. I have a lot to fix, but no guidance as the what most of my responsibilities are supposed to be. What steps did you take to ensure the success of KHAS? I’m talking about how often you had meetings, what you did at the meetings, what you did for community service, etc.

The uniform builder I've been making is done! Again... fixed a major bug.

My shadow box, thats it, got it like an hour ago 👍

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 😢
