The first year is a history
course designed to acquaint the student with the historical development
of flight and the role of the military in history. Flight is reviewed
from the ancient legends to the Persian Gulf War and beyond. Leadership
topics include wear of the uniform, military customs and courtesies,
self-discipline, citizenship, wellness and fitness, and basic drill
movements. Students are afforded the opportunity to get involved in
extracurricular activities such as drill, saber, and orienteering
teams that help cadets to enhance the student's personal behavior
and levels of responsibility and self-esteem. |

The third year examines our Earth, the
Moon and the planets, the latest advances in space technology, and
continuing challenges of space and manned space flight. Issues critical
to travel in the upper atmosphere such as orbits and trajectories
unmanned satellites, space probe, guidance and control systems are
explained. Our moon landings and orbiting of humans and spacecraft
for prolonged periods of time are examined. The space shuttle, space
stations, international space law, and future space travel are explored.
Leadership emphasis is on managing others, stress and finances; citizenship,
and ethics. Third year cadets put these skills into practice by holding
key leadership positions in the cadet corps. |

The forth year examines aerospace careers.
A laboratory manual contains experiments that build on topics covered
in years two or three. A study of geography adds to the student’s
basic knowledge of the Earth’s surface and the processes that shape
it; of places and their connections to other places; and of the relationship
between people and environments. Survival instructions provide training
in skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary to successfully perform
the fundamental tasks needed for survival. The section on policy and
organization describes the function of the four branches of service
and it also discusses the presidential administrations from the 1970s
to 1990s. Leadership hours stress life after high school to include
how to apply to college, how to begin the job search including filling
out the job application, writing the resume, and how to prepare for
the job interview. Career opportunities in aerospace and the U.S.
Air Force are covered. |
