CHAPTER 

6 - CADET EVALUATIONS 

6-1 INSTRUCTOR COUNSELING. 

The SASI and lor ASI will privately counsel each cadet at least once each term during the school 

year. The Counseling Form, Figure 6-1, will be used, and a copy will be filed in the Cadet's personnel 

folder. 

6-2 AFJROTC LEADERSHIP RATING. 

A. Each academic term as minimum cadets in leadership positions will rate their subordinates 

for possible advancement in rank andlor position. The form, AFJROTC Leadership Rating will be 

used for these evaluations. The cadet evaluation system: 

1. Documents performance for cadet promotions, awards, and job assignments 

2. Teaches cadets how to evaluate and provide feedback 

3. Introduces all cadets to ajob evaluation system. 

B. Cadets being rated will review the report and sign it. A cadet's signature does not show 

agreement or disagreement with the report, only that they have reviewed the document. If the cadet 

does not agree with any part of the report, they should identify their reason in writing and forward it to 

the next higher individual in their cadet chain of command. This cadet will indicate their agreement or 

disagreement with the appeal and forward it to following levels of review until it reaches the final 

review authority, the SASI, who will notify the cadet of any action on their appeal. 

C. All evaluations will be indorsed by the next higher official above the evaluator and all 

evaluations will be reviewed by the SASII ASI. These forms will be used primarily for endorsement of 

higher rank, and in Cadet Boards. The Cadet Personnel Officer is responsible for the privacy and 

safekeeping of the AFJROTC Leadership Rating forms. 

D. The Cadet Squadron Commander will be evaluated by the SASI. 

6-3 CADET BOARDS. 

A. The SASI may appoint a board of cadet officers to determine any number of issues internal to 

the corps. Some issues typically resolved by cadet boards are: 

1. Cadet Disciplinary Action Board (CDAB) -- this board is used to determine if cadets 

require disciplinary action for transgressions such as failure to maintain satisfactory appearance and/or 

meet standards of good conduct. See Para 3-5. 

2. Promotion Boards -- A board may be used to screen cadets for promotion. Command 

and staff positions and rank will be determined by the SASI. 

3. Awards Board -- Select cadets for outstanding accomplishments in the areas of 

academic achievements, leadership and other applicable areas of achievement. 

B. The SASI or ASI will normally be present during cadet boards to offer advice and to assure 

proper procedures are followed. Findings and recommendations of cadet boards are always subject to 

32

approval by the SASI and will serve only as a basis for further action by the SASI. All cadet boards 

will be properly documented and reports will follow formats provided by the AS!.

CHAPTER 7 - ACTIVITIES 

7-1. AFJROTC OFF CAMPUS (COCURRICULAR) ACTIVITIES. 

A. Cocurricular Activities are functions planned by the cadets and serve to augment AFJROTC 

classroom and leadership education requirements. They reinforce portions of the Aerospace and 

Leadership Education objectives. For example, a Military Ball not only serves to stimulate cadet esprit 

de corps but also provides experience in Air Force traditions. Other examples are: 

1. Drill Teams 

2. Newsletters 

3. Community Service Projects 

4. Physical Fitness teams 

5. Corps Gatherings (Christmas Party, picnic, etc.) 

B. A Curriculum-in-Action trip is a field trip conducted to further cadets understanding of the 

military environment. These trips may be to military installations, museums, etc. All CIA trips are 

school activities -- to participate a cadet must meet all school requirements and have parental consent 

forms completed. Typically the Corps will conduct a large trip in the spring -- for the spring field trip 

a 2.0 GPA and no school failures is required. 

C. The SASI / ASI are responsible for the supervision and control of these activities and will 

insure that cadet behavior is above reproach. Disorderly or unbecoming conduct by cadets will not be 

tolerated. Guidelines and requirements will be developed by the cadets, SASIIASI and school 

authorities (see Student Handbook) for all off campus activities. Cadets must meet school 

requirements and be approved by the SASI and ASI in order to participate. 

7-2. FUND RAISING 

A. Fund raising activities are essential to the unit and are conducted for a number of projects. 

All such activities will conform to local ordinances and school policies. Any solicitation on a military 

installation must be approved by the Installation Commander and conducted in the manner prescribed 

by that authority. The SASI will determine the appropriateness of the cadet wearing the uniform while 

participating in fund raising activities. 

B. The unit enjoys some financial support from community organizations who provide awards, 

equipment and material not funded by the school or the Air Force. These organizations may also pay 

for meals for performing cadets, or make a donation to the AFJROTC Activity Fund as an honorarium 

in recognition of cadet services rendered. Typically, however, no cadet activity is completely funded 

by either the school, the Air Force or outside organizations. For this reason, cadets are required to 

raise funds during the school year as fulfillment of an obligation to the unit. Cadets not participating in 

appropriate fund raising activities will be required to pay their own way if they wish to participate in 

cocurricular activities, field trips, etc. 

C. Donations, car washes, stadium clean-ups, working at sporting events and the sale of 

approved items are some sources of income used by the Corps in recent years. Any and all funds 

raised by the cadets through authorized activities must be turned in to cadet officials, SASIIASI and 

school officials in turn. ANY PERSONAL USE OF FUNDS RAISED IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. 

35

7-3 AFJROTC RECRUITING 

A. Each Spring Semester (February or March) the school conducts a orientation course for 

incoming Sophomores. This "Carousel of Courses" established by the CHS Director of Guidance in 

coordination with Gattis, Yucca and Marshall Junior High Schools is the primary recruiting platform 

for AFJROTC. The SASI will select 5 t07 outstanding cadets to represent the Corps during this day. 

The cadets will establish and man a table, build a presentation on AFJROTC (including a cadet 

prepared video) to provide prospective recruits an understanding of what the corps is all about. 

B. All ninth grade students who register for AFJROTC will be sent a welcome letter, which 

will invite them to the voluntary JROTC summer orientation program conducted prior to the fall 

semester. 

7-4 AFJROTC DRILL TEAMS 

A. The Wildcat Corps maintains a marching Drill Team that competes with other units 

throughout New Mexico and west Texas. At the time of this printing, the team is an unarmed, mixed 

(contains both male and female cadets) unit made up of cadet volunteers. Typically the team practices 

after school two to three days each week and competes on average one weekend a month during the 

school year. The drill team also presents the historic flags of the United States in ceremonies through 

out the local area as the Historic Flag Ceremonial Team. Cost for transportation, extra uniform items, 

etc., is provided by the Corps. Outstanding cadets interested in joining the team should contact the 

Drill Team Commander to get additional information. 

B. At the time of this printing, the Corps has ordered de-militarized M-l carbine rifles with the 

intent of forming an armed drill team. Members of the Wildcat Armed Drill Team will be selected 

from the ranks of the unarmed drill team. See the Drill Team commander for details. 

7-5 AFJROTC HONOR GUARD 

The Wildcat Corps maintains an Honor Guard to provide ceremonial duties for the Corps and 

the school. The team is unarmed (other than simulated rifles), mixed (contains both male and female 

cadets) and made of cadet volunteers. Additionally, members of the Honor Guard are responsible for 

presenting and posting the National, State, and/or Air Force flags on a regular basis as part of a Color 

Guard detail. Color Guard details are requested by many organizations through out the local area and 

give cadets experience in honoring the flags of the nation and state. Color Guard details compete with 

other units throughout New Mexico and west Texas in male, female, and mixed categories. Typically 

the team practices after school two to three days each week and competes on average one weekend a 

month during the school year. Cost for transportation, extra uniform items, etc., is picked up by the 

Corps. All cadets interested in participation on the team need to discuss their intent with the Honor 

Guard Commander to get additional information. 

7-6 AFJROTC KITTY HAWK NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY 

Kitty Hawk is a AFJROTC National Honor Society designed to recognize academic excellence 

in the Corps. Clovis High School AFJROTC Junior and Senior cadets may be invited to join the honor 

society if they meet a number of requirements of the unit. These requirements include (not all 

inclusive), maintaining an "A" average in JROTC and an overall 3.0 GPA in the remainder of all 

36

courses. Members are authorized to wear distinctive Honor Society badges and ropes on their uniform. 

The Kitty Hawk Commander will provide additional information to interested cadets. 

7-7 AFJROTC MODEL ROCKETRY CLUB 

One of the newest programs established in the Corps is the AFJROTC Rocketry program. The 

rocketry "club" is based solely on volunteers and is composed of 2 portions: the classroom program 

teaching basic rocketry, and the actual launching of the model rockets assembled by the cadets. 

Specific positions are held by cadets in the rocketry program in order to make sure cadets are safe and 

are learning what is needed when dealing with rockets. After the successful completion of 

requirements set up by the Rocketry Commander, the distinctive rocketry badge will be awarded to the 

cadets. The Rocketry Commander will provide additional information to interested cadets.
