From the mid-1960s to the present, and into the 21st century, our program has grown and touched the lives of thousands of America's students. The AFJROTC program positively influences our country by helping one student at a time. Our instructors, who retired as some of the Air Force's finest leaders, are helping to form tomorrow's nation by educating our proud and patriotic cadets -- tomorrow's leaders.Career-minded high school students will learn about jobs in the Air Force that will open important opportunities for the future. High school students who complete the aerospace science program in AFJROTC may be able to enter the military at pay grades higher than most enlistees.
