Disenrollment
Attitude and behavior makes all the difference. The majority of cadets really enjoy the program. However, the few who struggle with the expectations and rules have a disproportionately negative impact on the morale and welfare of the Cadet Corps. For these reasons, some cadets may be disenrolled from the program. Below is a list of the most common reasons a student is disenrolled from AFJROTC. This list is not all inclusive:
1. Violations of the Cadet Honor Code; lying, cheating, or stealing
2. Failure to maintain acceptable course standards (academic, personal grooming, proper uniform wear, etc.).
3. Inaptitude, indifference to training or disciplinary reasons involving undesirable traits of character (fighting, poor behavior in any classroom, disrespect of authority, or failure to meet cadet responsibilities).
4. Other reasons deemed appropriate by the AFJROTC SASI.
5. Individual request for release, consistent with current Langham Creek HS drop/add policy.
NOTE 1: The Cadet Command Staff may recommend disenrollment of any cadet for any reason. The SASI has final say on all cadet disenrollments.
NOTE 2: Reminder, if a cadet is removed from the program, activity fees paid are non-refundable or transferrable.
CADET REMOVAL PROCESS
Cadets who fail to meet the minimum expectations of the AFJROTC program will be formally counseled by the cadet corps commander (if available), the ASI, or the SASI.
a. First Offense: The cadet will be informed of the infraction and will be provided with recommendations on how to avoid future infractions. Once informed of the infraction, the cadet will sign a counseling memorandum. The cadet's signature acknowledges the infraction and confirms the cadet will take appropriate actions to prevent future occurrences. Refusal to sign the counseling memorandum is grounds for immediate removal from JROTC.
b. Second Offense: The cadet will be informed of the infraction and will be provided with recommendations on how to avoid future infractions. Once informed of the infraction, the cadet and the cadets parent/guardian will sign the counseling memorandum. The signatures of the cadet and the cadets parent/guardian acknowledges this is the second infraction and confirms the cadet will take appropriate actions to prevent future occurrences. Refusal to sign the counseling memorandum by either the cadet or parent is grounds for immediate removal from JROTC.
c. Third Offense: The cadet and parent will be informed of the final infraction and that the cadet will be disenrolled from JROTC. The SASI will notify the counseling office and have the cadet removed from ROTC.
Some infractions may be considered as non-recoverable actions by the SASI. When these actions occur, the cadet and parent will be informed that the cadet will be disenrolled from JROTC immediately. non-recoverable actions do not need 2 prior offenses to begin the disenrollment process. The SASI will notify the counseling office and have the cadet removed from ROTC.
Some infractions may have extenuating circumstances. Extenuating circumstances will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
