8 th Period Drill Class 2017-2018

8 th Period Drill and Ceremonies Class

The class is voluntary; however, those students wanting to participate must enroll in the class. Students will be provided elective credit for each semester they participate.

The class is designed to provide students a better understanding of drill and ceremonies used in both military and civilian functions and events. From this class, we form our Unarmed, Armed, and Color Guard Competition drill teams. This is a serious commitment to a team. If you have questions about this, talk to one of the instructors or a cadet who had been part of this team.

All students participating in this class must maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA and a 3.0 GPA in AFJROTC. Those who are unable to meet this requirement will be dropped from the class. Any student not maintain a 2.5 GPA and a 3.0 GPA in AFJROTC at the next grading period will be dis-enrolled.

The class schedule will be Monday- Thursday from 1430-153045

Each student will be graded like all other classes on a 6 week/semester grading period using the A-Ff grading scale. Student evaluation will consist of the following: criteria:

50% Drill Knowledge Tests 30% Participation 20% Attendance

(4 or more excused/unexcused absences in a six-week grading period will effectaffect a student’s grade)

Proper dress is required to include closed toe or tennis shoes. Any students not appropriately dressed will not be permitted to participate in the class.

Air Force SongOff we go into the wild blue yonder,Climbing high into the sunHere they come zooming to meet our thunderAt 'em boys, Give 'er the gun!Down we dive, spouting our flame from underOff with one helluva roar!We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!

Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder

Sent it high into the blueHands of men blasted the world a-sunderHow they lived God only knew!Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquerGave us wings, ever to soar!With scouts before And bombers galore.Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!

Here's a toast to the hostOf those who love the vastness of the sky,To a friend we send a message of his brother men who fly.We drink to those who gave their all of oldThen down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold.A toast to the host of men we boast, the U.S. Air Force!

Off we go into the wild sky yonder,Keep the wings level and trueIf you'd live to be a grey-haired wonderKeep the nose out of the blue!Flying men, guarding the nation's border,we'll be there followed by more!In echelon we carry onOh, nothing'll stop the Air Force!Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Forcee!
