ENROLLMENT

Because of the unique requirements of the program, student enrollment in AFJROTC must be voluntary.  We understand that not all students are up to this challenge and respect your decision not to join.  However, if you believe you have what it takes to join the Wolverine Cadet Corps there are some requirements that you must meet:  

1. Be willing to wear the Air Force Uniform in a manner that honors the sacrifice of those who wear it and have worn it in the past.  

2. Meet the military grooming standards of the United States Air Force while you wear the uniform.  These standards are precise. However, you will learn lessons that will serve you for a lifetime.  

3. Demonstrate moral character -- as a member of this corps, you will represent something much greater than yourself.  

4. Participate in Community Service and Leader Development Activities that reinforce the lessons you will learn in the classroom. This means getting involved before and/or after school. 

5. Be willing to take direction and feedback from your high school peers.  This is a cadet-led, cadet-run organization. 

Again...this program is not for everyone.   But for those of you who are willing to rise to the challenge, we accept commitments -- not applications!

ACTIVITY FEE

Stafford County Public Schools has a $100 activity fee for JROTC programs.  This fee serves to offset program expenses associated with the administration of our program.
