AFJROTC UNIFORM POLICY

WARREN EAST HIGH SCHOOL

A significant part of AFJROTC is wearing the uniform. Before your son/daughter becomes a cadet in the AFJROTC program, there are certain policies that you should know. Before a uniform is issued, you, as parents/guardians, are asked to read, sign, and return this consent form to the AFJROTC instructor.

Cadets are issued an Air Force uniform as soon as possible. There is no charge for the uniform. The uniform must be maintained in a clean condition and worn proudly.

All cadets are required to wear the uniform at least once each week, usually Thursdays. Wear of the uniform is extremely important. Failure to wear the uniform properly, including personal grooming standards, on the designated uniform day or during other required and appropriate occasions will result in a zero for the uniform grade. After the third zero grade for failure to comply with the uniform requirement, a cadet will receive a quarterly grade of 50 (F), or actual grade, whichever is lower, regardless of previous academic average. If the cadet fails to comply with the uniform requirement during subsequent quarters, the quarterly grade will be a zero (F). Any waiver to uniform wear must be coordinated with the SASI/ASI, in advance. Written documentation may be requested. Showing disrespect to any Air Force uniform will result in an immediate failure grade as well.

Federal law imposes certain restrictions on wearing a military uniform. Cadets will be given instructions on when, where, and how to wear the AFJROTC uniform. Unauthorized use of the uniform may result in disenrollment from the program.

Cadets are expected to maintain high grooming standards, keep the uniform clean and pressed, hair maintained within standards, and obey rules on ear and face piercing. AFJROTC is not for everyone! We have strict dress and appearance standards that must be maintained to pass the course. We also expect all cadets to respect everyone in or out of the classroom. All teachers know that if a cadet is being disruptive in their classroom, the cadet receives a “0” in JROTC class for that day…citizenship goes beyond the JROTC door…we must live it.

All uniform items must be returned dry-cleaned. If returned in a soiled condition, cadets will be charged a fee to have the uniform cleaned. Grade cards are withheld until this bill is paid.

Cadets need frequent reminding about their responsibility for uniform wear and care. Your encouragement will be very important to the success of your child in the AFJROTC program. We appreciate your help as we try to instill self-discipline and responsibility in each cadet.
