What are the Air Forces expenses at an Air Force Junior ROTC unit?
Each Air Force Junior ROTC unit requires a minimum of two instructors — one retired officer and one retired noncommissioned officer. Federal law requires that their retired pay be augmented to the level they would receive on active duty. The school pays at least half the difference between retired and active-duty compensation, and the Air Force pays the rest. The Air Force also provides the Air Force Junior ROTC curriculum, including textbooks, computers, and audio-visual equipment such as televisions, VCRs and camcorders to enhance the program. Additionally, the Air Force provides all cadet uniforms and associated accessories.
