The Eagle River High
School Air Force Junior Reserve Officer
Training Corps (AFJROTC) was established on
01 July 2006, is designated as AK-20061, and
is the newest Junior ROTC unit in the State
of Alaska. The Corps is presently under the
supervision of Lieutenant Colonel (Ret)
David Ennis, Senior Aerospace Science
Instructor, and Chief Master Sergeant (Ret)
William A. McNew, Aerospace Science
Instructor.
In our 3rd year, the Eagle River JROTC
program has come a long way in a short
period receiving recognition from
Headquarters AFJROTC as a Distinguished Unit
for the second straight year--a direct
reflection of our cadets' commitment. Cadet
enrollment continues to increase from 63
cadets in our first year to currently 119. We
hope to continually increase that number
each year by a minimum of 10 cadets. We have
designated the unit as a squadron with four
flights, and support staff. The leaders of
the squadron have done a tremendous job here
at ERHS. We have established Color Guard and
Drill Teams who have won numerous trophies
in competitions around the state of Alaska.
Community Service continues to be an
important part of our program as last year
the corps completed over 3,000 hours,
surpassing our squadron goal. Cadets enjoyed our annual
field trip to Elmendorf, the military ball,
physical fitness competitions, survival
training, and civic luncheons; hosted the JROTC bowling tournament; and raised funds
to purchase drill team equipment, held pizza
parties, and put on a cadet "Lock-in." We
attended a joint summer leadership school
this summer with West H.S. where cadets were
groomed for future leadership positions
within AK-20061.
The mission of AFJROTC is to "develop
citizens of character dedicated to serving
their nation and community." Ideally, each
cadet will have the opportunity to serve in
a leadership position over the course of
their tenure. Cadets of AK-20061 are rapidly
developing esprit-de-corps, personal pride,
and local traditions that will become
legacy. Each cadet has contributed in some
way to the success of AK-20061. |
