PREFACE

“War makes extremely heavy demands on the soldier’s strength and

nerves. For this reason, make heavy demands on your men in peacetime

exercises.”

-- German Field Marshall Erwin Rommel

Welcome to Leadership Evaluation and Development (LEAD)

Preparation. LEAD completion is mandatory to receive an Air Force

commission through AFROTC. The program is designed to evaluate

military leadership and discipline, determine your potential for entry into

the Professional Officer Course (POC), and stratify you among your

peers.

This Leadership Evaluation and Development Manual (LEADM) is

yours and you must take it with you to LEAD. You may write in,

highlight, tab, or underline this manual as desired. Ensure you have a

thorough understanding of this material prior to departing for LEAD;

you will be held accountable upon arrival.

All cadets attending LEAD must be mentally and physically prepared for

a rigorous, demanding schedule. Training during LEAD will generally

follow the AEF deployment concept. Additionally, you will be tested on

this manual. Scoring below 70% will result in an automatic

“unsatisfactory” on the “Preparation for Leadership Evaluation and

Development” portion of your Leadership Evaluation and Development

Performance Report (LEADPR), scoring between a 70% and 75% will

result in an automatic “marginal” on your LEADPR.

Your detachment will provide you with orders, tickets, uniforms and

other items required for LEAD. Keep two copies of your orders with

you at all times. Before you depart, provide your family with a copy of

your orders, scheduled departure times and return times, and the LEAD

address and phone number (annotated within this document). You

MUST show up to LEAD with all required items and proper

documentation. If you fail to adhere to these guidelines, you risk being

disqualified from LEAD.

Advise your family that if an emergency should arise, the quickest way

to contact you is through the AFROTC Headquarters Leadership

Evaluation and Development Liaison Element (LLE) at 334-303-5253

or the American Red Cross. Note, cadets do not have access to personal

cell phones during LEAD. If you have a pending family/personal issue

that may become an emergency while you are at LEAD, you MUST let

your detachment and FTO know as soon as possible. Also, it is

extremely important that prior to departing for LEAD you verify and

update your emergency data (name and address of next of kin) with your

detachment and ensure that the emergency data is uploaded into WINGS.

Cadets are NOT permitted to have visitors while at LEAD. Advise both

family and friends they will NOT be allowed to visit with you. This

includes religious services.

If you have any questions about LEAD or the LEADM, ask your

detachment cadre. Keep in mind, you are preparing for a commission in

the world’s finest Air Force … stay motivated and good luck!

d. The Air Force Code of Conduct

I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and

our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

II.

I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never

surrender the members of my command while they still have the means

to resist.

III.

If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will

make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept

neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

IV.

If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow

prisoners. I will give no information nor take part in any action which

might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior I will take command.

If not I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and

back them up in every way.

When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to

give name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade

answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no

oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or

harmful to their cause.

VI.

I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom,

responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made

my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of

America.

e. Quotes to Memorize

“Duty then is the sublimest word in the English language. You should

do your duty in all things. You can never do more. You should never

wish to do less.”

General Robert E. Lee

“The American people rightly look to their military leaders to be not only

skilled in the technical aspects of the profession of arms, but to be men

of integrity.”

General Joseph L. Collins

“Leadership is intangible; therefore no weapon ever designed can

replace it.”

General Omar Bradley

“If our air forces are never used, they have achieved their finest goal.”

General Nathan Twining

“If I didn’t have air supremacy, I wouldn’t be here.”

General Dwight D. Eisenhower

“I don’t mind being called tough, because in this racket, it’s tough guys

who lead the survivors.”

General Curtis E. Lemay, Chief of Staff, USAF

“In every battle, there comes a time when both sides consider

themselves beaten; then he who continues the attack wins.”

General Ulysses S. Grant

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and

degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks that nothing

is worth war, is much worse. The person, who has nothing for which he

is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal

safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless

made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”

John Stuart Mill

“Integrity is the fundamental premise for military service in a free

society. Without integrity, the moral pillars of our military strength,

public trust, and self-respect are lost.”

General Charles A. Gabriel, Chief of Staff, USAF

“It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the

press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of

speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the

freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves

beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the

protestor to burn the flag.”

Father Denis Edward O’Brien, Sergeant, USMC

“War, once declared, must be waged offensively, aggressively. The

enemy must not be fended off; but smitten down. You may then spare

him every exaction, relinquish every gain, but ‘til then he must be struck

incessantly and remorselessly.”

Alfred Thayer Mahan

“There is only one sort of discipline – PERFECT DISCIPLINE. Men

cannot have good battle discipline and poor administrative discipline.”

General George S. Patton, Jr., USA

“The power of excellence is overwhelming. It is always in demand, and

nobody cares about its color.”

General Daniel S. “Chappie” James, USAF

f. The Air Force Song

Off we go into the wild blue yonder,

Climbing high into the sun;

Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,

At ‘em boys, give‘er the gun!

Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,

Off with one helluva roar;

We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!

Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force!

Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder,

Sent it high into the blue;

Hands of men blasted the world asunder;

How they lived God only knew!

Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer

Gave us wings, ever to soar!

With scouts before and bombers galore. Hey!

Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force!

Here’s a toast to the host

Of 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 old,

Then 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 true;

If you’d live to be a gray-haired wonder

Keep the nose out of the blue!

Flying men, guarding the nation’s border,

We’ll be there, followed by more!

In echelon we carry on. Hey!

Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force!

g. The Airman’s Creed

I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN.

I AM A WARRIOR

I HAVE ANSWERED MY NATION’S CALL.

I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN.

MY MISSION IS TO FLY, FIGHT AND WIN.

I AM FAITHFUL TO A PROUD HERITAGE,

A TRADITION OF HONOR,

AND A LEGACY OF VALOR.

I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN,

GUARDIAN OF FREEDOM AND JUSTICE,

MY NATION’S SWORD AND SHIELD,

ITS SENTRY AND AVENGER.

I DEFEND MY COUNTRY WITH MY LIFE.

I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN:

WINGMAN, LEADER, WARRIOR.

I WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AIRMAN BEHIND,

I WILL NEVER FALTER,

AND I WILL NOT FAIL.

CHAPTER 3: GENERAL LEADERSHIP EVALUATION

AND DEVELOPMENT GUIDANCE

CHAPTER 3.1: HONOR CODE AND PROFESSIONAL VALUES

1. THE CADET HONOR CODE

“We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who

does.” The purpose of the Honor Code is to foster an environment

based upon a personal sense of honesty and integrity.

Implementation of the Honor Code means you will be trusted to do

what is right and must confront those who violate these standards.

An honor code violation will result in mandatory counseling with the

LEADU/CC and possible removal from LEAD. If you think a

violation has occurred or if you have a question about the Honor

Code, talk to your FTO.

a. Lying. Lying is any statement of untruth, which is meant to

deceive or mislead. One example of lying at LEAD is

intentionally signing in at an improper time in order to avoid a

regulation violation.

b. Stealing. Anyone who wrongfully takes, obtains, or withholds

someone else's property without their permission, with the intent

to temporarily or permanently deprive another of such property,

is guilty of stealing.

c. Cheating. In essence, cheating is taking unfair advantage of

another. Cheating violates the competitive sense of "fair play."

An example of cheating at LEAD is not completing the minimum

required push-ups during the PFA, yet coercing your spotter to

indicate otherwise or knowingly allowing it to occur.

d. Toleration. Toleration means enduring without complaint. If you

know a cadet has lied, stolen, or cheated, and you fail to report or

confront the matter, you may be guilty of toleration, therefore

breaking the honor code.

2. CORE VALUES

In using the Honor Code, AFROTC is looking to develop officers

with character. More specifically, to produce leaders for the Air

Force and build better citizens for America. AFROTC expects to

produce officers with the following core values:

a. Integrity First. Officers with forthright integrity voluntarily

decide the right thing to do and do it in both their professional and

private lives. They do not choose the right thing because of a

calculation of what is most advantageous to themselves, but

because of a consistent and spontaneous inclination to do the right

thing. Their inclination to do right is consistently followed by

actually doing what they believe they should do and taking

responsibility for their choices. In other words, persons of

integrity do the right thing when no one is looking.

b. Service Before Self. Officers who are selfless in service to their

country, the Air Force, and their subordinates know how to

prioritize their loyalties so that their highest loyalty is to the moral

principles reflected in the Constitution, then to the profession of

arms, then to the mission, and lastly to individuals. People who

serve selflessly resist the natural tendency to focus exclusively on

self-serving desires and, therefore, do not take advantage of

situations for personal pleasure, gain, or safety at the expense of

the unit or mission. They share in the danger, hardships, and

discomforts of subordinates. Their rank is shown by their

commitment to duty and responsibility to others rather than claims

of personal privilege or advantage.

c. Excellence In All We Do. Officers who are committed to

excellence in the performance of their personal and professional

responsibilities strive to do their best in everything they are

capable of accomplishing. They base their self-esteem and sense

of accomplishment not on how their accomplishments compare

with others but on how they measure up compared to a realistic

appraisal of what they are capable of accomplishing.

CHAPTER 3.2: RULES AND REGULATIONS

1. DISCIPLINE

By attending LEAD, you agree to obey the regulations of the Air

Force and any lawful orders given by the LEAD staff. An infraction

occurs when a cadet, who through design, neglect, or fails to perform

duty, violates regulations or commits an act prejudicial to good order

and military discipline.

Remember, while at LEAD, you are a guest of the host base and must

be a responsible user of the provided facilities. Certain situations

may necessitate cadet interaction with other civilian and military

personnel not associated with LEAD. Therefore, it is paramount to

follow all rules and regulations, as well as be professional at all times.

If a confrontation or disagreement occurs with anyone other than

ROTC LEAD personnel, be professional and get their rank, name,

and squadron, then report the incident to your FTO. Do not argue

with other staff members or trainees.

2. PROHIBITIONS

LEADU staff with obtaining an escort; do not transit alone.

Note

: Except under emergency circumstances (such as a death in the

immediate family -- notification coordinated through the American Red

Cross), cadets will not be allowed to depart LEAD. Family in the local

area, weddings, college/university enrollments, etc. are not emergency

circumstances.

3. TATTOOS/BRANDS/BODY MARKINGS

Cadets not in compliance with AFROTCSUP to AFI 36-2903 and

AFI 36-2903 will not be allowed to continue in LEAD as they are not

authorized to wear the uniform.

4. DRUGS AND ALCOHOL

The Air Force does not tolerate the use of illegal drugs or chemicals.

Failure to divulge drug use will result in disciplinary action and may

prevent your entry into the POC. While at LEAD, canine drug

sweeps of the dorms and random drug testing may occur. Cadets at

LEAD are strictly prohibited from consuming any alcoholic

beverages, regardless of age or situation. Violation of this policy will

result in immediate removal from LEAD.

5. MILITARY DECORUM

The rules of military decorum are founded on customs and traditions.

The responsibility for military decorum is a mutual one in which the

junior initiates the act of courtesy and politeness and the senior

responds with like courtesy and politeness.

a. Staff/CTA/Cadet Interaction. Use appropriate military courtesies

when greeting staff or any other recognized military members.

Always use full rank and last name if you recognize the member

or by “Sir/Ma'am” as appropriate.

(1) When passing, addressing, or being addressed by staff, the

proper greeting of the day is ALWAYS given. The proper

greetings of the day are defined by the time of day: “Good

Morning, Sir/Ma’am” from 0000 until 1159, “Good

Afternoon, Sir/Ma’am” from 1200 until 1659 and “Good

Evening, Sir/Ma’am” from 1700 until 2359.

(2) Cadets will IMMEDIATELY come to their feet and stand at

the position of attention when addressed by or addressing any

staff member, except during flight room instruction and while

eating.

(3) When any staff member or commissioned officer addresses a

cadet, the cadet will respond first with the word “Sir” or

“Ma’am” followed by the answer to the question. The only

exceptions to this rule are when a yes/no question is asked or

when the question “will that be all?” is asked. In those cases,

replies will simply be “Yes/No Sir/Ma’am.”, or “Will that be

all, Sir/Ma’am?” Any cadet being addressed will always end

all conversations by asking, “Will that be all, Sir/Ma’am?”

and give the proper greeting of the day. If outdoors, the cadet

being addressed will end the conversation by saying, “Will

that be all, Sir/Ma’am?” followed by a salute and the proper

greeting of the day. Other cadets present, but not being

addressed will simply render a salute and the greeting of the

day (unless in flight formation for which the Cadet Flt/CC

will extend all courtesies).

(4) When approaching a group of individuals, the greeting of the

day will be rendered to the highest ranking individual(s) first.

If the individuals are of the same rank, greet the female(s)

first (e.g. A female Captain walking with a male Captain will

be greeted with “Good morning Ma’am, Good morning Sir”).

If all individuals are of the same gender, greet them as a

group with “Ladies” or “Gentlemen” (e.g. A male Major

walking with a male Captain will be greeted with “Good

morning, Gentlemen”). If rank is indeterminable, greet the

female(s) first (e.g. A group of four males and two females

in PT gear will be greeted with “Good Morning Ladies, Good

Morning Gentlemen”).

b. Reporting. Reporting procedures will be accomplished for both

commissioned and enlisted staff members and CTAs.

(1) For a single cadet ordered into an office, reporting procedures

are as follows:

(a) Center on the door or cubicle entrance and knock once

(loud enough to be heard in an average size room). Do

not knock on the door or cubicle wall if a conversation is

taking place in the office.

(b) When given the order, enter, close the door (if you

opened it), march using the most direct route to the staff

member, perform the appropriate facing movement, (if

on carpet, do not square corners), center yourself two

paces away from the individual, salute if reporting to an

officer and CTA and state: “Sir/Ma’am, Cadet (last

name) reports as ordered.”

will hold the salute until the officer or CTA drops their

salute and remain at the position of attention until told

otherwise.

(d) At the end of a conversation, cadets will stand and

assume the position of attention (if at a different

position) and ask, "Will that be all sir/ma'am?" If so,

take one step backwards, salute (if reporting to officers

or CTAs) and render the proper greeting of the day,

perform the appropriate facing movement to leave, and

take the most direct route out of the office or cubicle. (If

on carpet, do not square corners.)

(2) When multiple cadets are ordered into an office, reporting

procedures are as follows:

(a) A selected cadet will center on the door or cubicle

entrance and knock once (loud enough to be heard in an

average size room). Do not knock on the door or cubicle

wall if a conversation is taking place in the office.

(b) When given the order, enter, close the door (if you

opened it or are directed to do so), march using the most

direct route to the staff member, perform the appropriate

facing movement, (if on carpet, do not square corners),

all cadets will center two paces away from the individual

with a selected cadet standing on the right, and salute (if

officer or CTA). This cadet will state on behalf of the

others, “Sir/Ma’am, Cadets (give last names of the whole

party) report as ordered.”

the officer drops their salute and remain at the position

of attention until told otherwise.

(d) At the end of the conversation, all will stand and assume

the position of attention (if at a different position) and

the selected cadet will ask, “Will that be all sir/ma’am?”

If so, all cadets will take one step backwards, salute (if

reporting to officers or CTA’s) and the selected cadet

will render the proper greeting of the day. All cadets will

perform the appropriate facing movement to leave, and

take the most direct route out of the office or cubicle. (If

on carpet, do not square corners.)

(3) If a cadet is not ordered to report, but needs to see a staff

member in their cubicle or office to make a statement or ask

a question, the cadet will use the preceding procedures with

the following exception: instead of using the above reporting

statement, use the appropriate remarks: "Sir/Ma'am, Cadet

(last name) reports.” Once acknowledged by the staff

member, the cadet will continue with the question or

statement.

c. Respect towards LEAD cadre

(1) Use one of the following seven basic responses as appropriate

to begin speaking to, respond to a direct question from, or as

instructed by a staff member:

(a) “Yes, Sir (Ma’am).”

(b) “No, Sir (Ma’am).”

(d) “Sir (Ma’am), I do not know.”

(e) “Sir (Ma’am), I do not understand.”

(f) “Sir (Ma’am), may I make a statement?” (not necessary

when responding to a direct question)

(g) “Sir (Ma’am), may I ask a question?” (not necessary

when you are call upon by raising your hand)

(2) If you need to excuse yourself to pass by an individual or

through a group of individuals, politely state, “Sir (Ma’am),

Pardon me please.”

d. Saluting

(1) The salute is one of the oldest military traditions. It is a

courtesy exchanged between members of the armed forces as

both a greeting and a symbol of mutual respect. The uniform

hat is worn and salutes are rendered in all outdoor areas,

unless specifically indicated otherwise. Although

inappropriate at certain times, it is never incorrect to salute a

senior officer outdoors as a courtesy and a greeting. Do not

salute indoors unless formally reporting in to a staff member's

office or upon receiving an award at an awards ceremony.

Do not salute when reporting to enlisted staff members.

(2) In detail formations (two to four cadets), all will extend

military courtesies as appropriate. In normal formations (5

or more cadets in a flight), the cadet in charge renders the

military courtesies for the formation.

(3) Cadets will initiate the salute in time to allow the officer/CTA

to return it, but not from such a distance as to hinder

communication. To prescribe an exact distance for all

circumstances is not practical, but good judgment indicates

when salutes will be exchanged. (NOTE: A standard rule

of thumb is to use the same distance prescribed for rendering

a salute to the Colors—approximately six paces.) At no time

will a cadet turn their upper body to salute someone behind

them nor will they salute someone they approached from the

rear. If marching, they will continue as needed. If stationary,

they will use appropriate facing movements

(4) Cadets passing an officer engaged in conversation will render

a salute but not interrupt with the greeting of the day. If the

officer does not return the salute, the cadet will continue and

then drop the salute once abreast of the officer.

(5) While in formation and at double-time, the formation

commander may simply render a verbal greeting rather than

bring the formation to quick-time to salute.

(6) If called to receive an award, proceed in a crisp, military

manner and stand approximately one arm’s length in front of

the presenter. Extend the right hand and shake the presenter’s

hand while taking the award with the left hand. Then render

a salute if the presenter is a commissioned officer. Exit the

area in a crisp, military manner. If there are multiple award

presenters, side step down the line repeating the same

procedure of shake, take, and salute, unless the ceremony is

indoors. If indoors, only salute the presenter of the award,

but shake the hands of everyone else on the line.

(7) LEADU staff and cadets will render proper customs and

courtesies even if participating in scheduled training or

athletic events. The only exceptions to this are if cadets and

staff are actively participating in the LRC, Fitness

Assessment (FA), or other events with cadets actively

“encumbered” and staff actively engaged in safety-spotting

or evaluating performance. In these situations, safety and

common sense should always prevail. Personnel outdoors in

uniform face the flag (if visible) or the music and assume the

position of Parade Rest upon hearing the first note of

“Reveille” or “Retreat”. If the flag is being raised during

"Reveille", face the flag and render a salute. Upon hearing

the first note of “The National Anthem” or “To the Colors”,

come to attention, face the flag (if visible) or the music and

salute. Hold your salute until the last note of the music is

played. When indoors, do not salute, stand at attention and

face the flag. When in civilian clothes indoors or outdoors,

come to attention and place your right hand over your heart.

(8) Salute all occupied staff cars with front license plates

indicating senior officers.

(9) No-salute areas. No-salute areas will be determined by the

LEADU/CC upon arrival to LEAD.

(10) Saluting due to rank recognition is not required when wearing

the PTU.

e. Academic Building protocol

(1) Hallway Guidance. Cadets will walk (not march or run) in a

military manner, with a sense of purpose, and with hands

cupped, single file, on the right side of the hallway. It's not

necessary to halt at every doorway or intersection, but they

will watch for people coming out of offices/around corners.

Cadets will not square corners in carpeted areas. Cadets may

not speak unless making on-the-spot corrections to other

cadets, addressing or being addressed by LEADU staff or

visitors, or giving the greeting of the day.

(2) Restroom Guidance. Cadets will enter, use the facilities and

then exit in an expedient manner. Cadets may not speak

unless making on-the-spot corrections to other cadets or

addressing or being addressed by LEADU staff or visitors.

Cadets will not give greetings to staff or other cadets or

trainees while in the restroom.

(3) Auditorium (mass lecture) procedures. Cadets will sit

according to assigned seating arrangement. After taking their

seat, they will maintain good order, discipline and posture.

During the lecture, cadets may not talk, sleep, or move

unnecessarily (e.g. stretching, gathering notes before

dismissal, etc.), and will not engage in any activity not

directly related to the current lesson.

(a) Auditorium Opening Guidance. The Cadet GP/CC will

stand and command, “Class, prepare for instruction.”

At this time, cadets will stand at parade rest in front of

their seats. Then the Cadet GP/CC commands, “Class,

attention.” Cadets will then move to the position of

attention. The Cadet GP/CC will then turn to the

lecturer, salute (for officers only) and report,

“Sir/Ma’am, Leadership Evaluation and

Development Unit ___ is ready for instruction.” The

instructor will return the salute, if applicable, and direct

the class to take their seats, and the lesson will begin.

(b) Asking/Answering Questions. When cadets wish to ask

a question or provide an answer during a class

auditorium lecture, they will remain seated and raise a

hand. When the lecturer recognizes a cadet, the cadet

will stand up, state their name and flight and ask the

question/give the answer, unless directed to do otherwise

by the lecturer. Proper military customs and courtesies,

including “Sir/Ma’am” will be used.

instructor/lecturer indicates they are ready to close class,

the Cadet GP/CC will stand and command, “Class,

prepare for dismissal.” At this time, cadets will set

aside class materials and be ready to stand. Next, the

Cadet GP/CC will issue the command, “Class,

attention”, upon which cadets will move to the position

of attention. The Cadet GP/CC will then turn to the

lecturer, salute (for officers only) and report,

“Sir/Ma’am, Leadership Evaluation and

Development Unit ___ is ready for dismissal.” When

the instructor/lecturer departs the auditorium, they will

command “Carry on.” The class will loudly echo,

“Carry on, Sir/Ma’am.” If the command is not given,

the Cadet GP/CC will command “Carry on” once the

instructor has left the auditorium.

(4) Flight Room procedures. When class is not in session, cadets

will call the room to attention, in unison, when a

commissioned officer or CTA enters or exits the room,

provided there is not already a commissioned officer of equal

or greater rank in the room. As the officer breaks the plane

of the door, all cadets will command, "Room, attention."

When exiting, if the officer or CTA commands "Carry on,”

all cadets will echo, "Carry on Sir/Ma'am." If the “Carry

on” command is not issued, cadets will resume normal duties

when the officer has left the room. When class is open, the

flight room will not be called to attention for visitors

regardless of rank. This is an academic session and will

continue uninterrupted. When class is stopped for a break

and the same lesson will resume upon conclusion of the

break, cadets will not call the room to attention when the

instructor enters or exits the room.

f. Dormitory Protocol

(1) Hallway Guidance. If any LEADU staff or CTA is about to

pass you in the hallway, halt (if moving), come to attention,

place your heels to the wall, allow them to pass, and render

the greeting of the day and then carry on. If wearing a

hydration system, come to attention as near to the wall as

possible without hurting yourself or damaging the wall or

hydration system. If a staff member or CTA is obstructing

your path, cadets will brace the wall and state “Sir/Ma’am,

cadet (last name) requests permission to pass.” Once

given permission, the cadet will move quickly in their

intended direction and give the appropriate greeting of the

day. When in stairwells, render the proper greeting but do

not stop moving.

(2) Foyer/Day Areas/ Hallways. Cadets will not call foyers, day

areas (open area used as a dayroom), or hallways to attention

when senior personnel enter, but will show proper respect for

all LEADU staff and other commissioned officers when

present in the dormitory. If seated, cadets will stand and

render the proper greeting of the day, or, if already standing,

will simply render the proper greeting of the day. Exception:

If there are two or more cadets in the foyer, dayroom, day-

area, or hallway and the LEADU/CC, or an O-6 or above,

enters the building/area, the cadets will call the building/area

to attention unless there is an officer of equal or higher rank

already in that specific building/area. If there is only one

cadet, the cadet will stand at the position of attention and

render the proper greeting of the day.

(3) Entering/leaving Dormitory Rooms. When LEADU staff and

other commissioned officers enter or leave a room, the first

person to take notice will call the room to attention, provided

there is not already a commissioned officer of equal or greater

rank in the room. If a cadet is alone in the room, that cadet

will come to attention as the officer enters or leaves, but not

call the room to attention.

g. Bus Protocol. Cadets will fill busses from back to front with two

cadets (unless otherwise directed) in each seat. Sit at the position

of attention (for local travel) and read the selected portions of this

manual as directed. You may rest your hands on the seat in front

of you for safety.

6. DISCRIMINATION AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT

a. The Air Force has a zero tolerance policy towards discrimination

and sexual harassment.

(1) Discrimination is defined as any action that unlawfully or

unjustly results in unequal treatment of persons or groups

based on race, color, gender, national origin, religion, age,

and, if civilian, handicapping conditions, for which

distinctions are not supported by legal or rational

considerations.

(2) Sexual harassment is a form of gender discrimination that

involves unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual

favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual

nature (see Attachments).

b. If at any time during LEAD you feel you are a victim of

discrimination or sexual harassment (whether committed by a

staff member, CTA, fellow cadet, or host base personnel), notify

any LEADU staff member immediately. Additionally, comments

can be placed in the Commander Action Line Boxes; locations to

be identified during in-processing. Boxes will be checked daily

by AFROTC staff. These comments can be anonymous.

7. MALTRAINING AND HAZING

If you suspect that you or a fellow cadet has experienced mal-training

and/or hazing, immediately notify the LEADU chain of command

starting with the FTO. If the FTO is part of the problem, notify the

ADO/DO or ask the Chaplain for assistance. Additionally,

comments can be placed in the Commander Action Line Boxes;

locations to be identified during in-processing. Boxes will be

checked daily AFROTC staff. These comments can be anonymous.

8. DAILY SCHEDULE

A typical daily schedule is demanding and fast-paced. Cadets will

be expected to maintain a sense of urgency at all times. Time is

critical and vital to LEAD success.

9. CALL-TO-QUARTERS (CTQ)

CTQ is free from constructive training; this is your time. Staff

members may walk through the area but will not initiate meetings

with cadets. During CTQ, you must remain in the flight area unless

performing official duties related to your assigned position (cadets

must sign in/out of flight area). Additionally, cadets may perform

details, write letters, conduct meetings, or prepare uniforms.

Sleeping/lying in bed is not authorized. Meetings concerning

additional duties or special projects will not be held during CTQ if

they require staff member involvement. Immediately prior to lights

out, TAPS will sound. You must be in bed with lights out by the time

TAPS is finished.

10. INDIVIDUAL CADET TIME (ICT)

ICT will take place in conjunction with scheduled religious activities.

If you do not attend religious services, you will have ICT at the

discretion of the FTO.

11. RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATIONS

The Air Force values the free exercise of religious beliefs and seeks

to accommodate their practices within the limits of military

requirements. Chaplains are on call 24-hours a day. The Chaplain

will brief the available services and services schedules during the

Chaplain Program briefings. Only on-base religious services are

authorized. Some faith groups may require religious observances

that fall within a standard training week; and not on the weekend.

Cadets must understand that accommodation will be sought to the

best of the ability of the AFROTC’s Command. However,

accommodation begins with a cadet’s understanding that the military

mission and training requirements may cause conflict with standard

worship practices, and that full accommodation may not be possible.

Cadets may feel free to discuss the issue of accommodation in detail

with the Holm Center Chaplain.

12. LIGHTS OUT

Between Taps and Reveille, you are not authorized to engage in any

activities other than sleeping (e.g., writing letters, reading, talking,

etc.) You will not leave your bed except in the event of an emergency

or to use the latrine. Talking in the latrine is prohibited after lights

out. Lights out violations will result in AFROTC Form 17,

Counseling.

13. PROPERTY SECURITY

Security of personal valuables and government property is

paramount. To help secure the premises, you must notify the LEAD

staff of any unauthorized persons in the area.

a. Personal Valuables. Do not bring high value items to LEAD (for

example laptops). It is your responsibility to secure personal

items, and you must keep such items locked in your security

drawer, or duffel bag while in the field, at all times. Report thefts

or losses to your FTO immediately. AFROTC is not responsible

for lost or damaged items.

b. Security violations. Security violations at LEAD indicate one’s

inability to safeguard classified information and other government

property while on active duty. The following personal items, if

found unsecured, constitute a security violation: 1) Any photo ID;

2) Military Orders; 3) US currency greater than or equal to $1.

Additionally, any security drawer found unsecured (regardless of

contents) will constitute a security violation. If you are found

guilty of an infraction, you will be counseled via the AFROTC

Form 17 by the FTO; a second violation will result in an AFROTC

Form 17 counseling from the ADO; a third violation will result in

an AFROTC Form 17 counseling from the DO, who will evaluate

the cadet’s ability to remain at LEAD. Other personal items found

unsecured DO NOT constitute security violations, but will be

confiscated by the FTO until the end of LEAD.

14. GOVERNMENT PROPERTY

You will be accountable for all property (including uniforms)

assigned to you until the items are returned or another individual

signs for them. You must maintain all property in good condition.

Do not deface, tear, or disassemble; do not move equipment without

permission; report all malfunctions or damage to your FTO.

15. AFROTC FORMS

The following forms are used to document adherence to LEAD

standards.

a. AETC Form 341, Excellence/Discrepancy Report. The AETC

Form 341 is used for “on the spot” counseling and documents

extraordinary performance in any area of LEAD. When used for

a discrepancy, staff members are specifically documenting a

deficiency in military conduct, training, or discipline. All AETC

Forms 341 will be turned in to the FTO before CTQ each day.

(1) Cadets must have: three AETC Forms 341 (with first two

lines completely filled out), Leadership Evaluation and

Development Manual, two copies of orders and a picture ID

on their person at all times, unless otherwise directed.

(2) Multiple discrepancies may be recorded on the AETC

Form 341. The date on the form should reflect the training

day such as “TD-3” rather than the calendar date.

(3) LEAD staff members issuing discrepancies will personally

annotate a cadet’s AETC Form 341 with a description of the

discrepancy (or discrepancies), identify the corresponding

category, flight/office information, and signature.

(4) Cadets who receive multiple AETC Form 341 discrepancies

during LEAD (especially for the same deficiency) will be

counseled by their FTO via the AFROTC Form 17 and will

receive remedial training as needed. Lack of progress will

result in a second AFROTC Form 17 and counseling from the

ADO. If the poor performance continues, the cadet will be

referred to the DO who will administer a third AFROTC

Form 17 and counseling, as well as make a retain/remove

recommendation to the CC.

b. AFROTC Form 84M, Dormitory Checklist of Authorized Items

(Male)

c. AFROTC Form 84-1M, Dormitory Checklist of Authorized Items

(Female)

d. AFROTC Form 85, Squadron Area Inspection Report; this form

is only issued to the Cadet SQ/CC and must be turned in to the

respective FTO prior to CTQ.

CHAPTER 3.3: UNIFORMS, CLOTHING, AND SUPPLIES

1. GENERAL GUIDELINES

Your detachment will issue most uniform items needed for LEAD.

You will be required to bring certain additional items at your own

expense. Issued items must be used at LEAD. Other than for medical

reasons (written documentation from a qualified medical

professional must be provided), you are not authorized to replace

issued items with personally procured items (exception: alternate

styles of sage green boots procured by the cadet are authorized

provided they meet AFI requirements). Other items will be issued to

you at LEAD. All issued (uniform and equipment) items are your

responsibility; you will be liable for damage to these items resulting

from your negligence.

a. Grooming Standards. All cadets must comply with AFI 36-2903,

Dress and Personal Appearance of Air Force Personnel and

AFROTC Supplement to 36-2903, regarding Cadet Uniforms and

Insignia. Additionally, the following standards apply:

(1) Mustaches and make-up are not authorized while at LEAD.

(2) Each cadet must maintain his/her personal hygiene and

shower at least once per day. Showers are mandatory

whenever Personal Hygiene (PH) time is scheduled and

cadets must wash their hands after using the latrine. All

cadets will change undergarments each day and will not wear

uniforms more than two days without washing them.

Laundry service will be provided.

(3) Male cadets must appear clean-shaven at the first PT session

of the day.

(4) Female trainees will wear their hair IAW AFI 36-2903, as

they would with blues or ABUs, including marching to and

from PT. Exception: When actively participating in PT,

female hair may have loose ends, but will still be above the

collar. Additionally, to prevent mold growth females may

wear their hair down during Call to Quarters (CTQ) (see

Chapter 8).

b. Laundry Marks. Each cadet must mark all undergarments, towels

and washcloths with a permanent clothing marker. Mark

clothing using the following convention: first letter of last name

followed by last four digits of your social security number (for

example, P1234). You will mark your clothing prior to your

arrival at LEAD.

(1) All undergarments will be marked on the inside of the item,

at the waistband, collar, or toe and centered (when feasible).

(2) Towels and washcloths will be marked on one short side (if a

rectangle), centered, no further than 1 inch from the edge.

c. Uniforms. Military uniforms must be worn in accordance with

AFI 36-2903, and AFROTC Supplement to AFI 36-2903 which

includes AFROTC Cadet Uniforms and Insignia. Note: Cadets

may bring any combination of ABUs with them. When worn, the

ABU top and bottoms must match (i.e. lightweight top with

lightweight bottom or heavyweight top with heavyweight bottom)

but either cap may be worn with both uniform types.

d. Caps. All caps must be clean and fit properly. When not worn or

stored, the following rules apply:

(1) Flight caps will be tucked under the left side of the belt

between the first and second belt loops. The cap will be flush

with the top edge of the belt, on the left side of the body, with

the open end of the cap facing the wearer’s left pocket.

(2) ABU caps will be placed inside the left cargo pocket of the

ABU pants. The cap will not be visible while in the pocket.

e. Hydration System. A hydration system will be issued to you at

LEAD. Your hydration system is always worn with ABUs and

PTUs unless otherwise directed.

(1) While in blues, carry the hydration system in the left hand.

(2) When sitting, store your hydration system under the seat and

even with the front of the chair.

(3) Do not wear the hydration system where you are resting on

the full bladder. This has caused many to burst/leak and has

resulted in damaged property. Exception: While in PTUs or

ABUs at the DFAC, removal of the hydration system is not

required.

f. Eyewear. Sunglasses and prescription photosensitive lenses are

not authorized at LEAD unless prescribed for medical reasons,

e.g., PRK/LASIK surgery or on the written advice of a medical

official. Written documentation from a qualified medical

professional must be provided during in-processing. Cadets who

require vision correction highly encouraged to bring two pairs of

eyeglasses and eyeglass straps (plain black or dark blue without

logos or advertisements) that conform to AFI 36-2903. Eyeglass

straps are required to be worn at all times. As constraints on time

and sanitation in field conditions make proper care of contacts

difficult, contacts are not authorized during any portion of LEAD.

g. Sleepwear. As a minimum, your sleepwear will consist of the PT

shorts and PT T-shirt. Cadets may wear flip-flops in the dorms in

the evening at FTO discretion.

h. Jewelry. It is highly recommended that you do not bring any

jewelry to LEAD as jewelry will not be worn at any time. Medical

alert necklaces/bracelets, however, are authorized and may be

worn in accordance with AFI 36-2903. If you do bring jewelry,

store these items in your security drawer.

i. Watches. Watches are not required but may be worn unless

otherwise directed by a FTO. Hourly chimes and alarms will be

turned off at all times. If you choose to bring a watch, keep in

mind that there is a high probability that the watch may be

scratched, cracked, paint balled, soaked, and/or otherwise

damaged when participating in LEAD events. AFROTC is not

responsible for any damage.

j. Telephones. You are not authorized to use a telephone at any time

during LEAD. If you bring a cellular phone, iPod, iPad or other

wireless communication device, you must turn it in to your FTO

upon arrival at Maxwell AFB on TD-0. Your item will be

individually marked, secured, and returned back to you upon

departure from LEAD.

2. UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS

CHAPTER 3.4: MEDICAL TREATMENT AND FIRST AID

1. MEDICAL TREATMENT AND MEDICINE

It is imperative to arrive at LEAD in good physical and mental health.

You will be required to follow basic rules for any and all prescription

and over-the-counter (OTC) medications taken while at LEAD.

a. Physical Exams. In order to attend LEAD you must have a

military physical exam on file. For example: Department of

Defense Medical Review Board (DODMERB) or a Military

Entrance Processing Station (MEPS). Further, if there has been a

significant change in your health since your physical exam was

completed (such as surgery or diagnosis of a chronic disease), you

must inform your detachment before proceeding to LEAD.

Failure to do so could result in your immediate removal from

LEAD.

b. Immunizations. It is required that the MMR (measles, mumps,

rubella) and varicella (chicken pox) vaccinations be verified or

obtained ASAP after notification of your selection to attend

LEAD. Your detachment will not be able to process your LEAD

order and travel request without official documentation on file.

[Note: Varicella is a two-shot series, split by a wait period

between shots, so plan accordingly]. If you had the Chicken Pox

disease as a child, it must be medically documented with the

specific date of disease or date of positive blood titer.

Immunizations, and associated costs, are the responsibility of the

cadet.

c. Medications. During in-processing cadets are required to disclose

all prescription/non-prescription medications to the staff

healthcare provider. Cadets may be allowed to keep items such

as acetaminophen (Tylenol®), ibuprofen (Advil® or Motrin®),

naproxen (Aleve®), over-the-counter antacids, general multi-

purpose vitamins (limited to a 30 day supply), topical

medications/creams, non-pseudoephedrine containing Claritin®

or Zyrtec® and personal prescription medications with the

pharmacy label attached. Weight loss or energy formulas,

pseudoephedrine or pseudoephedrine-containing medications,

caffeine supplements, and herbal supplements are not allowed.

All medications must be in their original bottle, not in a zip lock

bag, envelope etc. The CC will make the final determination

concerning any item that does not comply with the preceding

guidelines.

(1) Cadets with prescription medications must have a physician’s

statement detailing any/all side effects (Exception: birth

control pills). If the medication will hinder completion of

LEAD, the cadet will be released from LEAD without

prejudice.

(2) Secure authorized medications; do not allow use or access by

other cadets.

(3) Cadets who require regular, scheduled maintenance shots

must bring a doctor’s note detailing any/all side effects. The

note must be presented during in-processing and indicate

how often the shots are required and when the next scheduled

injection is due. Depending upon the type of medication, the

cadet may be responsible for the cost of the injection.

(4) Medications received in the mail are not authorized without

proper medical coordination.

(5) Cadets who receive prescription medication during LEAD

will notify their FTO.

d. MEDICAL TREATMENT. While at LEAD, medical treatment

will be administered by qualified medical personnel either at the

MAX or a medical treatment facility. If you require medical care,

notify your FTO.

(1) Sick Call. Sick Call hours and procedures will be provided

to cadets upon arrival at LEAD.

(2) If you require treatment at a civilian facility, you will file a

Department of Labor (DoL) claim for reimbursement of

incurred costs. While the LEAD staff and your detachment

will assist with filing the claim, you are ultimately

responsible for the costs and the reimbursement process.

Additionally, you must inform civilian medical treatment

facility personnel that your release paperwork must be signed

by a physician. The Department of Labor Office of

Workers’ Compensation Program will not accept

paperwork endorsed solely by physician assistants or

nurses.

(3) Upon returning from the LEAD, you should report to your

detachment and begin working with detachment personnel to

ensure all necessary information has been submitted to the

DoL. DoL has the final say on payment of medical expenses.

e. HEAT STRESS. Due to the physical nature of training, heat and

heat indexes are always a concern. To combat the effects of heat,

you must actively replace the water and electrolytes your body

loses through perspiring. It is recommended that you drink ½ to

1 quart of water per hour for no more than 12 quarts a day or

more than 1 ½ quarts an hour for water replacement. Rapid

ingestion of large amounts of water (more than 1 ½ quarts per

hour) can lead to acute water intoxication. Due to the variable

sizes of hydration systems, additional guidance will be provided

by the LEAD staff. The preferred method of electrolyte

replacement is a balanced diet. You should salt your food to taste.

Sports drinks are acceptable interim measures but should not

substitute for meals. Early signs of heat stress disorders include

dizziness, headache, dry mouth, unsteady walk, weakness,

moist/sweating skin and muscle cramps. If you feel or note

anyone else exhibiting these signs, notify the closest staff member

immediately and take the following actions: remove individual

from training; rest individual in shade; take (or give) the

individual sips of water. If signs or symptoms do not improve

after 30 minutes, transport to nearest medical facility. If

signs/symptoms worsen, call an ambulance. Immediate action

must be taken if the following (more advanced) signs of heat

stress disorder occur: hot body, high temperature, confusion,

abnormal behavior, unresponsiveness, coma, vomiting,

involuntary bowel movement, convulsions, and weak or rapid

pulse. Call an ambulance, take the same actions for early signs,

and have the individual lay with feet elevated. If skin is hot to

touch, remove as much clothing as possible, pour cool water over

head and body and fan.

f. FIRST AID. There may be situations when it may be necessary

to administer first aid or “buddy care” for minor injuries or until

medical personnel arrive. In addition to the heat-related

conditions above, the following conditions may arise:

(1) Blisters. Blisters are the most common LEAD-related injury.

Soft feet, coupled with skin stress and unsuitable shoes

and/or wet socks, can produce severe blisters. As a result of

friction acting on the skin, fluid collects under the skin’s

surface at the “hot spot.” Blisters may be clear or watery, but

if deeper tissues have been affected they may also contain

blood.

(a) Protect against abnormal amounts of friction by applying

talcum powder or petroleum jelly to the skin before

putting on socks. Wearing thick or two pairs of socks

during activities can also help guard against blisters.

Keep your feet clean and dry at all times. If your socks

get wet, change them as soon as possible. Nylons are an

additional recommendation – be sure to bring any of

these items with you to LEAD.

(b) If prevention fails and a blister forms, clean it, apply a

sterile bandage, and leave it alone for 24 hours. If the

blister is large, seek medical care.

(2) Insect Bites. Although usually not a major health

consideration, an insect bite can be extremely painful and in

rare cases may cause a severe reaction. Most insect bites may

be avoided by using insect repellent, rolling down sleeves,

and blousing boots. For severe reactions, seek medical

attention as soon as possible.

(3) Ants, Bedbugs, Chiggers, and Mosquitoes. Wash the bite

area thoroughly with soap and cool water. To control

swelling, cover the bite with a very cold wet cloth. Inform

LEAD cadre immediately if you believe your bedding has

been infested with bedbugs.

(4) Ticks. Ticks are known to carry various illnesses. Remove

imbedded ticks immediately with protected fingertips or

tweezers. Scrub the area with soap and water for 5 minutes

and search the entire body for additional ticks. If a fever,

headache, or chills develop, seek medical attention.

(5) Bees, Wasps, and Hornets. Treat the same as above. Also,

remove the stinging apparatus.

(6) Scorpions and Spiders. A scorpion or spider bite can cause

severe allergic reactions. In the event of a bite, be able to

describe the insect. Position the victim’s body to ensure the

bite is below heart level. Keep victim quiet, warm, and watch

for breathing difficulties. Apply a very cold, wet cloth to the

affected area and seek immediate medical attention.

(7) Plant Poisoning. Although swallowed plant poisonings are

rare at LEAD, contact poisonings are fairly common. Most

contact poisonings result from encounters with Common

Poison Ivy, Western Poison Oak, and Poison Sumac.

(a) Symptoms of exposure may not begin for 48 hours after

exposure and may include a severe rash with redness,

blisters, swelling, burning, itching, and high fever.

(b) To treat, carefully remove contaminated clothing and

wash the exposed area thoroughly with mild soap and

water. Apply rubbing alcohol and calamine lotion to

control the itching. If a severe reaction occurs, seek

medical help.

(8) Animal Bites. Although rare, because much of LEAD is

conducted outdoors the possibility of an animal bite always

exists. If an animal bite occurs, follow these procedures:

First, control the bleeding. Flush the wound immediately

with cool running water to remove saliva and cleanse

thoroughly with mild soap for 5 minutes. Cover the site with

a sterile pad or clean cloth and instruct the victim not to move

the affected area. Contact medical personnel or LEAD

staff as soon as possible!

(9) Snakebites. All snakebites (poisonous or nonpoisonous)

should have immediate medical attention – be sure to get a

good identification of the snake (color, designs, head shape,

sounds, etc.). Contact medical personnel or LEAD staff as

soon as possible.

(a) Do not give sedatives, aspirin, or any other medication

to relieve pain. Also, do not apply cold compresses, ice,

chemical ice packs, or any other methods of cold

therapy. Have the victim lie down and keep as still and

calm as possible. Adjust the victim’s body so that the

bite site is below heart level. It is important to be alert

for breathing difficulties and to be prepared to treat for

shock.

(b) Mild to moderate snakebite symptoms include mild

swelling or discoloration, mild pain with a tingling

sensation at the bite site, rapid pulse, weakness, blurred

vision, nausea, vomiting, and shortness of breath.

swelling, numbness, severe pain at the bite site, pinpoint

pupils, slurred speech, shock, convulsions, paralysis,

unconsciousness, and no breathing or pulse.

(10)Shock. This generally occurs to some degree after an injury

and, when severe, can cause death.

(a) Symptoms of shock may include a dazed or confused

look and, depending on the injury, the cadet may be pale

or flushed. Breathing will be irregular or weak, vomiting

may occur, and the person may lose consciousness.

(b) Have the cadet lie on their back; keep the head level or

slightly elevated above the body. Loosen the person’s

clothing around the chest and neck. If the skin is pale

and cool, cover the person with one or more blankets to

provide warmth--be careful not to overheat. If the skin

is hot and red, apply towels or napkins soaked in cool

water until the skin returns to normal temperature.

Never give a person in severe shock anything to eat

or drink!

CHAPTER 3.5: INSPECTION, EVALUATION, COUNSELING

1. INTRODUCTION

The LEAD staff will evaluate you through direct observation and by

analyzing the results of your performance as compared to your peers.

This assessment of your performance will determine your suitability

for entry into the Professional Officer Course (POC) and your

potential to commission as an Air Force officer. It will also affect

your final ranking at the detachment and therefore your choice of

careers in the USAF.

2. FORMAL INSPECTIONS

You and your flight will receive two types of formal inspections:

stand-by and open ranks. Any LEAD staff member may conduct

formal inspections.

a. Stand-by Inspections. Stand-by inspections evaluate the

condition and appearance of your quarters and equipment. Any

cadet who receives a total of four or more discrepancies in one or

more of the four graded categories during a single stand-by

inspection will be counseled via AFROTC Form 17.

(1) All cadets will be at parade rest outside of their rooms. The

Cadet Flt/CC and Cadet Flt/CD will meet the inspector as

he/she enters the flight area. The Cadet Flt/CC will call the

flight to attention, salute the inspector, and report, “Sir

(Ma'am), ___ Flight is prepared for inspection.” The

Cadet Flt/CD will accompany the inspector and record any

discrepancies on individual cadets’ AFROTC Form 84M

(Male) and 84-1M (Female). Cadets will follow the inspector

into their room while the inspector is inspecting.

(2) After the inspector has finished inspecting the rooms, the

Cadet Flt/CC and Cadet Flt/CD will escort the inspector to

the common areas. Common areas will be inspected on

AFROTC form 85. If available, the SQ/CC should

accompany the inspector during this portion of the

inspection.

(3) When the inspection is complete, the Cadet Flt/CC will salute

the inspector and report, “Sir (Ma'am), all flight areas have

been inspected.” The flight will prepare for the next

scheduled event upon the inspector’s departure. The Cadet

Flt/CD will consolidate discrepancies onto the discrepancy

roster and turn all AFROTC Forms 84M and 84-1M into the

Cadet Flt/CC immediately after the inspection.

(4) The Cadet Flt/CC will review and initial the consolidated

Flight Standby Inspection Discrepancy Report. The Cadet

Flt/CD will turn this report in to the FTO (NLT CTQ on the

day of the inspection).

b. Open Ranks Inspections. Open ranks inspections focus on

military bearing and personal appearance. Any cadet who

receives a total of four or more discrepancies during a single open

ranks inspection will be counseled via AFROTC Form 17.

(1) Flights being inspected will march to the inspection area,

position themselves at the proper location, and stand at

parade rest. The Cadet Flt/CC will be posted six paces to the

front of, centered on, and facing away from the flight. When

the inspector approaches, the Cadet Flt/CC will call the flight

to attention, salute the inspector, and offer a verbal greeting.

The inspector will direct the Cadet Flt/CC to prepare the

flight for inspection at which time the Cadet Flt/CC salutes

the inspector and does an about face. The Cadet Flt/CC then

gives the command “Open ranks, March,” and then

immediately walks at a 45-degree angle to position

him/herself one pace to the guidon bearer’s right side and

then faces down the line. The Cadet Flt/CC then proceeds to

align the flight starting with the First Element and ending

with the Third Element.

(2) Once the flight is aligned, the Cadet Flt/CC positions

him/herself three paces in front of the guidon bearer’s right

side, facing down the line. The first element will now be

three paces to the left of the Cadet Flt/CC. The Cadet Flt/CC

will command “Ready front.”

(3) The Cadet Flt/CC takes one step forward, conducts a right

face, and salutes the inspector (who has positioned

him/herself immediately in front of the Cadet Flt/CC) and

reports, “Sir (Ma'am), ___ Flight is prepared for

inspection.” The inspector returns the salute and begins to

inspect the Cadet Flt/CC.

(4) While the Cadet Flt/CC is being inspected, the Cadet Flt/CD

takes one step to the rear, conducts a right face, and marches

to a position one pace to the right and one pace to the front of

the guide. He/she faces down line and prepares to record the

inspection results.

(5) Once completed inspecting the Cadet Flt/CC, the inspector

asks the Cadet Flt/CC to accompany him/her on the

inspection. Both the Cadet Flt/CC and Cadet Flt/CD will

accompany the inspector; the Cadet Flt/CD documents

discrepancies on the ORI Discrepancy Roster.

(6) After being inspected, the Cadet Flt/CC executes a left face

(down line) and commands, “Second and third elements,

parade rest.” The inspector takes the necessary steps

forward to inspect the guidon bearer. The Cadet Flt/CD, who

is still positioned in front of the guidon bearer, continues to

face down the line. The Cadet Flt/CC executes a half left in

marching without arm swing and halts one pace to the right

and one pace to the rear of the inspector. (This causes the

Cadet Flt/CC to precede the inspector and the Cadet Flt/CD

to follow the inspector.) Cadet Flt/CD continues to face the

inspector during the inspection, documenting any

discrepancies. These positions are maintained throughout the

inspection of the front of each respective rank. After

completing the front inspection of each cadet, the inspector

looks to the right to signal to the Cadet Flt/CC he/she is ready

to move. When moving from individual to individual during

the inspection, the inspector and Cadet Flt/CC

simultaneously execute a facing movement to the right in

marching and an in-place halt as described in section 7 below.

(Cadet Flt/CD faces the inspector and simply takes one step

forward for each inspector and Cadet Flt/CC movement)

(7) The movement is executed by pivoting 90 degrees to the right

on the ball of the right foot, simultaneously stepping over the

right foot with the left foot and placing the left foot parallel

to the rank being inspected. Then advance one short step with

the right foot, and place the right foot pointed toward the

flight. Next bring the left heel into the right heel, and once

again reassume the position of attention. The upper portion

of the body remains at the position of attention, and the arm

swing is suspended throughout when inspecting the front of

each rank.

(8) These movements should place the inspector directly in front

of the next individual to be inspected, still preceded by the

Cadet Flt/CC and followed by the Cadet Flt/CD.

After the inspector has inspected the last individual in the

front rank, the Cadet Flt/CC hesitates momentarily and

allows the inspector and Cadet Flt/CD to precede him or her

as the inspector inspects the front rank from the rear. During

the inspection of the rear of each rank, the Cadet Flt/CD

follows the inspector approximately two paces to the rear,

halting when the inspector halts. The Cadet Flt/CC will

follow approximately two paces behind the Cadet Flt/CD,

also halting with the inspector. After inspecting the rear of

each rank, the inspector halts and turns in front of the element

leader of the next rank. The Cadet Flt/CD marches past the

rear of the inspector and reassumes the position following the

inspector while the Cadet Flt/CC will halt and turn in front of

the second person in the next rank (the Cadet Flt/CC is once

again preceding the inspector). (These procedures are used

to inspect the front and rear of subsequent ranks.)

(9) When the inspection party finishes inspecting the first

element and before the inspector halts in front of the first

person of the second element, the second element leader

assumes the position of attention. The element leader turns

his or her head approximately 45 degrees down line and

commands, “Second element, Attention.” When the first

element leader can see the inspector out of the corner of his

or her eye, the element leader turns his or her head down line

and commands, “First element, parade rest.” This

procedure is repeated throughout the remaining elements.

(10) After the last element has been inspected from the rear, with

the Cadet Flt/CD and Cadet Flt/CC following the inspector,

the inspector will halt and execute an about face. The Cadet

Flt/CD will halt while the Cadet Flt/CC will position

him/herself one pace to the right of the Cadet Flt/CD, halt,

and record the inspection results of the Cadet Flt/CD. The

inspector inspects the Cadet Flt/CD and commands “POST”.

The Cadet Flt/CD will return to his/her position in the flight.

The inspector marches off to the right flank (element leaders)

of the flight while the Cadet Flt/CC proceeds directly to a

position three paces beyond the front rank, halts, faces to the

left (down line), and commands, “Flight, attention.” The

Cadet Flt/CC then takes one step forward with arm swing and

faces to the right. The inspector marches to a position

directly in front of the Cadet Flt/CC and gives comments.

After receiving comments, the Cadet Flt/CC will salute and

greet the departing official appropriately, “Good morning

(afternoon or evening), Sir (Ma'am)”. The inspector then

executes the appropriate facing movement to depart. To

conclude the activity, the Cadet Flt/CC will command,

“Close ranks, march” before posting three paces in front of

and centered on the flight. The flight will then be ready for

the next scheduled activity.

3. INFORMAL INSPECTIONS

Unscheduled inspections are conducted by CTAs/FTOs. Cadets who

fail two inspections will receive an AFROTC Form 17 from the FTO.

Cadets who fail three inspections will be counseled by the ADO. A

fourth failed room inspection will result in an AFROTC Form 17

from the DO who will make a removal from LEAD for unsatisfactory

performance recommendation to the CC.

4. EVALUATION

Your LEAD performance will be evaluated and recorded. Your FTO

and/or other commissioned LEADU staff will complete several

Leadership Competency Evaluations (LCE) of your actions and

behaviors while serving in leadership positions. Your FTO will

review this and other data, including PFA scores and academic test

results, and complete a Leadership Evaluation and Development

Performance Report (LEADPR), which will be forwarded to your

detachment commander. The LEADPR is a permanent part of your

cadet record. It will influence your detachment commander’s

decision on your admission to and/or continuation in the POC and

your suitability for commissioning.

5. COUNSELING

During LEAD you will receive various counseling sessions. These

sessions will provide you with information and constructive feedback

allowing you the opportunity to understand how your performance is

being perceived and, if necessary, adjust that performance.

a. Initial Counseling. Your FTO will conduct an initial counseling

with you within three days of arrival. During these meetings, your

FTO will express his/her expectations for your performance.

b. Mid-way Counseling. Mid-way through LEAD you will receive

a mandatory counseling session from your FTO. During this

session, your FTO will identify your observed level of

Preparation for Leadership Evaluation and Development and also

advise you of your current Strengths and Areas for Improvement.

For the Areas for Improvement, the FTO will offer you

suggestions for achieving the desired level of performance.

c. Final Counseling. Your FTO will conduct a final counseling

session no earlier than two days prior to the end of LEAD. During

this session, your Strengths and Areas for Improvement will be

highlighted on the LEADPR. NOTE: The evaluation period does

not end until you physically depart LEAD; your formal rating

could change.

d. Additional Counseling. Your FTO may schedule any additional

counseling sessions he/she deems necessary in order to clarify

expectations or discuss behavior or performance concerns.

(1) A number of items necessitate mandatory counseling by the

FTO using the AFROTC Form 17 to include security drawer

violations, formal inspection failures, lights out violations,

and PFA failures.

(2) The AETC Form 341 is given “on the spot” for unacceptable

performance or behavior. Cadets receiving excessive

amounts of AETC Forms 341 will be counseled using

AFROTC Form 17. Examples include: arriving late to

reveille or retreat formations; talking or making extraneous

movements while at the position of attention; or failure to

perform a particular duty such as knowing your daily

knowledge.

(3) The DO and CC will counsel cadets referred as “Marginal”

or “Unsatisfactory” by FTOs as well as any cadets under

investigation for significant breaches of discipline such as

honor code or rules violations.

CHAPTER 3.6: PHYSICAL TRAINING (PT)

1. OVERVIEW

PT is an integral part of your LEAD experience and provides an

opportunity to evaluate your physical condition and teamwork

capacity. PT will occur daily and consists of such activities as the

PFA, warrior runs, dynamic stretching, calisthenics, competitive

sports, combatives, etc. To minimize the risk of injury, CADETS

MUST ARRIVE AT LEAD READY TO PARTICIPATE IN

STRENUOUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.

2. PT SESSIONS

a. Fall in by squadron. Form up in column formation, without a

guide. The class will form up with each flight facing their

Flt/PFO. Prior to the start of the PT session, cadets will ground

their gear. The gear will be standardized and grounded in straight

lines. Spacing will be double arm’s length apart on each side and

to the front and rear. The Cadet GP/PFO ensures the group is at

parade rest and prepared for the PT session prior to but not later

than 0515 (unless otherwise instructed).

b. Reporting Procedures. The Cadet GP/PFO initiates by

commanding “GROUP”. The SQ/CCs will command

“SQUADRON”, followed by the Cadet GP/PFO’s command

“ATTENTION”. Starting with Squadron 1, each SQ/CC will

salute the GP/PFO and say “Ma’am/Sir, Squadron _______ is

ready for instruction.”

c. Class Procedures. The Cadet GP/PFO commands “I am the

center, face the center, face.”

(1) The Cadet GP/PFO will announce warm-up exercises in the

following manner: “The first exercise of the day will be

(exercise). It is a ___-count exercise. We will perform ___

repetitions. Position of the exercise, MOVE!” All flights

will then assume the appropriate position. The Cadet GP/PFO

will then give the command of execution, “Ready, BEGIN!”

(2) The Cadet GP/PFO will call cadence and each flight will

respond on the completion of each set. Example follows.

Cadet GP/PFO calls, “1...2...3…etc.”

Cadets respond, “ONE”

Cadet GP/PFO calls, “1...2...3….etc.”

Cadets respond: “TWO”

(3) Following the completion of each exercise, cadets will

respond as follows:

Cadet GP/PFO announces, “RECOVER.”

Cadets respond, “AIR POWER!”

d. For any exercise requiring a partner, flight members will be paired

by gender (male/male and female/female). In the event there is

an extra cadet, a CTA of the same gender or a member from a

different flight may be used.

e. All cadets are required to bring a PT towel.

f. After the warm-up exercises, the Flt/PFO will move the flight to

the starting point of the day’s physical activity.

g. Closing Class Formations. Fall in by flight and squadron. The

Cadet GP/PFO will ensure everyone has put on their equipment

and the formation is at attention. Then a member of the LEADU

staff will dismiss the entire formation.

3. FITNESS ASSESSMENT (PFA) - GENERAL

a. The FA will be performed IAW , Fitness Program.

b. Prior to attempting the FA you will be asked to fill out the FA

questionnaire to determine if there is anything that will prevent

you from performing the FA such as illness. FA scores are

calculated based on four weighted events: the abdominal

circumference measurement, push-ups, sit-ups, and a 1.5-mile

run. To pass, you must achieve a composite score of 75 or greater

and meet all individual component minimums. Failure to meet

even one component minimum will result in an overall failure.

c. An abdominal circumference and height/weight measurement

will be accomplished during in-processing on training day

(TD)-0 and will be used to compute your FA score. The

remainder portions of the FA (push-ups, sit-ups, and the 1.5-mile

run) will be accomplished on TD-2.

d. You will be given one opportunity to complete the FA. Cadets

failing to meet FA standards will receive an unsatisfactory on their

LEADPR.

4. FA - TESTING INFORMATION

The FA will be conducted IAW AFI 36-2905. During the FA, staff

members will monitor each event to ensure standardization and

proper execution. Incorrect repetitions of push-ups and sit-ups will

not be counted. You will be told what you’re doing wrong and must

correct the error. The total number of correct repetitions in one

minute is recorded as your score.

a. Push-ups: You have one minute to perform as many correct push-

ups as you are able. Your counter will count the correct number

of push-ups aloud. Your counter will not count incorrect push-

ups. Your counter will tell you what you’re doing wrong and will

repeat the last number of correct push-ups until you correct the

error. The total number of correct push-ups in one minute is

recorded as your score. The push-up will be performed/scored as

follows.

(1) Starting Position. The member will begin in the starting

position with hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart,

palms or fists on the floor with arms fully extended and the

body in a straight line from head to heel. The feet may be no

more than 12 inches apart. The member may rest in the up

position only. The member may remove their hands or feet

from the floor, or bridge or bow their back, but only in the

up/rest position. The body should maintain a rigid form from

head to heel. The feet may not be supported or braced (e.g.,

no crossing of the feet).

(2) Complete Push-up. From the starting position (elbows

extended), the member will lower the body to the ground

until the upper arm is at least parallel to the floor (elbow bent

at least 90 degrees or less) before pushing back up to the

starting position (the chest may touch but not rest on or

bounce off the floor). The member completes one full push-

up after returning to the starting position with elbows fully

extended. It is important to ensure your form is correct. Dot

not allow your body to bow at the waist as you tire. The body

must remain rigid during the assessment (the back must

remain straight unless resting). Incorrect push-ups (e.g.,

member does not lower body until upper arm is at least

parallel to the floor, member does not fully extend elbows

when returning to starting position, body bows at the waist,

etc.) will not be counted. If an incorrect push-up is

performed, your counter will repeat the number of the last

correct push-up and explain what is being done incorrectly.

You may rest in the up position only. If you rest in the down

position with their body on the ground, the push-up

component of the test will be terminated.

(3) Completion of Exercise. 1-minute time limit expires; cadet

rests in the down position or with any body part resting on

the ground other than hands and feet (knees, elbows etc).

b. Sit-ups. You have one minute to perform as many correct sit-ups

as you are able. Your counter will count the correct number of

sit-ups aloud. Your counter will not count incorrect sit-ups. Your

counter will tell you what you’re doing wrong and will repeat the

last number of correct sit-ups until you correct the error. The total

number of correct sit-ups in one minute is recorded as your score.

(1) Starting Position. You will lie face up on the floor/mat. In

the starting position, your feet may extend off the mat, but

the buttocks, shoulders, and head must not extend beyond the

mat. Your knees will be bent at a 90-degree angle

(throughout the assessment), with the feet or heels in contact

with the floor at all times. Your arms will be crossed over

the chest with the hands/fingers on the shoulders or resting

on the upper chest.

(2) Foot Hold. Your heels must remain anchored to the floor

throughout the assessment. You may request to have your

feet held down. The “holder” may use their hands or put their

knees on your feet but the holder may not anchor your legs

by holding onto your calves or standing on your feet during

the assessment. The holder will use enough force to keep

your feet/ankles from rising while the sit-ups are being

accomplished.

(3) Complete Sit-up. A complete sit-up is accomplished when

your upper torso is raised off the floor/mat, the elbows touch

the knees or thighs, and your upper torso is lowered back to

the floor/mat until the shoulder blades touch the floor/mat.

Elbows must touch the knees or thighs at the top of the sit-

up, and the shoulder blades must touch the floor/mat at the

bottom of the sit-up. Any part of your hands/fingers must

remain in contact with your shoulders/upper chest at all

times. Incorrect sit-ups (e.g., elbows do not touch the knees

or thighs at the top of the sit-up, shoulder blades do not touch

the floor/mat at the bottom of the sit- up, hands/fingers lift

completely off the shoulders/upper chest, etc.) will not be

counted. If an incorrect sit-up is performed, the counter will

repeat the number of the last correct sit-up and explain what

is being done incorrectly. You may only rest in the up

position. If you rest in the down position or hold onto your

knees/legs while in the up position, the sit-up component of

the assessment will be terminated.

(4) Completion of Exercise. 1-minute time limit expires; cadet

rests in the down position or holds onto their knees/legs while

in the up position.

c. 1.5-Mile Run:

(1) Acceptable. Walking at any time or momentarily stopping to

re-fasten shoe lace(s) during the run, provided you remain

within the lateral limits of the running surface; signaling

current lap count verbally or using fingers; wearing a watch;

walking for one lap on the outside of the track to cool down

after completing the 1.5-mile run.

(2) Unacceptable. Crossing an inside barrier (if present);

deliberate physical contact with another runner or observer,

regardless if the contact occurs on or off the running surface.

(3) Completion of Exercise. Crossing the finish line; failure to

cross the finish line (regardless of reason) results in a score

of zero for the event.

(4) Observers. Must remain off the running surface. (i.e.; no

pacers are allowed)

CHAPTER 3.7: LEADERSHIP EVALUATION AND

DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION

1. OVERVIEW

Leadership Evaluation and Development (LEAD) is composed of an

In Garrison (InG) portion (Maxwell AFB, AL) and an AEF

(deployed) portion, (Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center,

CSJFTC, MS). During InG, cadets will be organized into a cadet

group structure. The Cadet Group structure will be reorganized into

a Cadet Wing structure upon deployment to AEF. The LEAD staff

positions described below will apply to both the InG and AEF

portions of LEAD.

2. LEADERSHIP EVALUATION AND DEVELOPMENT STAFF

a. Commander (CC). The Commander exercises general command

over the LEAD staff and cadets assigned to the MAX. The

commander is a colonel and is responsible for accomplishment of

the LEAD mission. The key links between the commander and

cadets are the Director of Operations (DO), the Assistant Director

of Operations (ADO), the Flight Evaluation Officers (FTO), and

the Cadet Training Assistants (CTA).

b. Vice Commander (CV). The CV is second in command and

assumes command in the absence of the Commander.

c. Director of Operations (DO). The DO is responsible for the daily

operations of the Cadet Group. The DO supervises the ADO,

DOS, and FTO functions.

d. Assistant Director of Operations (ADO). The ADO maintains

discipline, standardizes training, and oversees the physical

training (PT), drill and ceremonies (D&C), and standardization

programs for the cadet group. The focus of the ADO is

standardized cadet training and performance.

e. Scheduling Officer (DOS). The DOS is responsible for

scheduling and ensures all training curriculum and administration

is scheduled.

f. Flight Evaluation Officer (FTO). FTOs are the cornerstone of

LEAD. FTOs train, evaluate, counsel, and administrate cadets

within the flights.

g. Director of Support (SD). The SD oversees all support staff

functions including administration, scheduling, special projects,

and host base support.

h. Project Officer (SDP). The SDP coordinates all special projects

and events.

i. Command Support Staff (SDCS). The SDCS supports all

administrative functions.

3. CADET TRAINING ASSISTANTS (CTA)

CTAs are POC cadets who are selected (based on their LEAD

performance and overall cadet record) to return to LEAD as assistants to

active duty staff members.

CHAPTER 4: IN GARRISON (ING)

1. CADET ORGANIZATION

While in garrison cadets will operate under a Cadet Group structure.

FIGURE 4.0.1. Cadet Group Organization

NOTE: Additional squadrons will be sequentially numbered. Each

squadron will have two alphabetically designated flights.

2. CADET LEADERSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES

All cadets are responsible for maintaining discipline and setting a

proper example. Cadets in leadership positions can give orders to

subordinate cadets. However, they cannot excuse cadets from

formations or change orders and regulations. If a cadet in a

leadership position is required to be absent from any formation or

activity, he/she must notify the next cadet in the chain-of-command

to take charge. Cadets may not award merits or discrepancies.

3. CADET POSITIONS

As a cadet, you will hold various positions within the cadet

organization. The FTOs will assign most of these positions. These

positions may be classified as leadership or non-leadership and may

be permanent or rotating. Rotation will be at the discretion of the

FTO. Rank will not change based on position held. All cadets will

wear Cadet 3rd Class rank for the duration of LEAD. Prior to each

rotation of leadership positions, the incoming and outgoing group

commanders will meet with the ADO.

5. SIGNING OUT/IN

You must sign an AFROTC Form 82, Student Sign Out/In Register,

anytime you will miss activities on the schedule, or when proceeding

anywhere without your flight. Always consult your FTO or CTA and

sign out prior to proceeding to any medical treatment. Ensure times

are accurate to the minute. If there is a line of cadets waiting to sign

out or in, enter the time you joined the line. It is your responsibility

to return to quarters prior to CTQ. If you cannot return on time,

inform a LEAD staff member.

6. FORMATIONS

a. Definitions

(1) Detail - Formation of two to four cadets, including the cadet

in charge. In formations with three or four cadets, the

formation is properly sized and the cadet in the right rear

position will lead the formation. When in details of two the

detail leader marches on the right. When in a detail to

retrieve a guidon, the cadet on the right will carry it,

regardless of their assigned duty for that day.

(2) Flight – Normally a formation of five or more cadets. This

includes a designated flight leader, usually the Cadet Flt/CC.

There will be at least two but no more than four elements.

While on the OTS Complex, OTS flights will normally

march with two elements and AFROTC flights will normally

march with three elements at close interval.

(3) Guide – The guide marches, without a guidon, in front of the

highest numbered element leader and will regulate the

direction and rate of marching (front-right corner when in

column formation).

(4) Guidon Bearer – The guidon bearer marches, with a guidon,

in either a detail of two or a flight with six or more cadets

(Cadet Flt/CC, four cadets, and a guidon bearer). He/She

assumes the same position as the guide in a formation. The

guidon bearer will perform all proper movements in

accordance with AFMAN 36-2203 Chapter 5 Section C.

(5) Road Guard - Cadet designated to stop traffic when cadets

cross a road or parking lot.

b. General Guidance

(1) The Cadet Flt/CC’s first responsibility is the safety of the

formation. Therefore, situational awareness of the

surroundings is critical and must be maintained at all times,

even when stationary.

(2) Cadets will not talk while in formation.

(3) Double Time. Cadets will double-time when wearing the

PTU, except within one hour after a meal and if the Wet Bulb

Globe Test (WBGT) flag conditions do not support. After

the first PFA, cadets may also double-time when wearing

blues (at the discretion of the FTO or CTA) or ABUs. Cadets

may double time on paved surfaces to and from physical

conditioning activities except when crossing the street.

Cadets will not double time during hours of darkness for

safety reasons, nor will they double time to/from combatives

(Exception: Approved formation runs may take place during

dawn and dusk, and if the formation is carrying flashlights or

reflective gear).

(4) All cadets will move on sidewalks, parking lots, troop walks,

and other improved surfaces. When there are none available,

use unimproved surfaces with caution and while marching at

ease. The Cadet Flt/CC will act as road guard for flights with

10 or fewer cadets. If traveling along a roadway, march with

as few elements as practical (usually two) and in the

designated running lane. If no designated running lane exists,

cadets will march against the flow of traffic.

(5) All members of a formation must carry operable flashlights

during hours of darkness and period of reduced visibility.

(Exception: Reflective gear is a suitable substitute during

formation runs.)

(6) Cadets do not have the authority to place flights “at ease” or

“at rest” at any time. If a flight member wishes to address

the flight, he/she must first request permission from the Cadet

Flt/CC to address the flight and then do so from the position

of attention. The flight will also be at the position of

attention. Individual flight members cannot address the flight

while the flight is in transit. However, flight members may

request from the Cadet Flt/CC permission to ask a question

or to make a statement in order to address a safety concern.

7. ROAD GUARD PROCEDURES

a. General Information.

(1) Required safety equipment (only when pulling road guard as

a detail): fluorescent/reflective vest (worn by road guards)

and flashlight (during hours of darkness).

(2) Cadets will not “piggyback” units (march more than one unit

across the street without allowing traffic to proceed between

them) when crossing streets unless directed to do so by

LEADU staff.

(3) The Cadet Flt/CC will render all courtesies for the flight. If

an officer (on foot) or staff vehicle passes (from the front) the

person in charge will render courtesies. If a staff vehicle

approaches the flight while crossing an intersection the road

guard will not salute (due to safety). The person in charge

will march the flight across the street, halt the flight, call in

the road guards, and then render courtesies to the staff

vehicle. Safety is the priority in this situation.

b. Procedures

(1) For safety reasons, flights will always be halted six paces

from the roadway so the Cadet Flt/CC can ensure the safety

of the posting road guards. To post road guards, the Cadet

Flt/CC will use the verbiage “Road guards, post.” At that

time, the required number of road guards will fall out of the

flight and post as a detail six paces in front of the flight. The

required number of road guards is determined by the number

of lanes of traffic that must be halted to safely cross the

roadway.

(2) The Cadet Flt/CC will move forward, post in front of the

flight at the roadway edge, salute and ask permission from

their FTO or CTA to enter the roadway with the verbiage:

“Sir/Ma’am, _____ Flight requests permission to enter

the roadway.”

(3) The Cadet Flt/CC will then look both ways to ensure there is

no traffic and enter the center of the roadway. The Cadet

Flt/CC is only required to extend arms if traffic is visible

(only when halted). They will then perform an about face (to

face their flight) and command “Road guards, out.”

(4) On the command, "ROAD GUARDS OUT," the left road

guard will go to the closest lane, and the right road guard will

go to the farthest lane, face oncoming traffic at parade rest

with the right arm up, palm flat with the fingers pointed

upward. If carrying a flashlight, road guards will hold the

flashlight in the extended arm with the beam pointed down.

(5) The Cadet Flt/CC will move out of the path of the flight,

command the flight to march across the intersection, and

perform the necessary facing movements so they can observe

the flight at all times.

(6) Once the flight has crossed the roadway and is out of danger,

the Cadet Flt/CC will halt the flight and command, "Road

guards, in." The road guards will then return to their detail

six paces in front of the flight.

(7) The Cadet Flt/CC will remain in the intersection and continue

to halt existing traffic while the road guards return to the rear

of the flight.

(8) To have the road guards fall back in the flight, the Cadet

Flt/CC must give the command “Road guards, secure your

gear and fall into the rear of the flight.” The road guards

remove their vests, secure them and fall into the rear of the

flight to continue travel.

(9) The Cadet Flt/CC does not give further commands (e.g.,

“FORWARD MARCH”) until rejoining the flight.

8. GUIDON PROCEDURES

a. Each flight of six or more cadets will carry their guidon from start

to end of academic day while marching from one location to

another on Maxwell AFB, except when specifically instructed by

staff to do otherwise, or due to weather advisories.

b. The guidon will be carried to all events except the LRC, PT, or

other events as directed by LEADU staff. If there is no guidon

holder at the event, the guidon bearer will make every effort to

ensure the guidon is stored/displayed properly and will not

become a safety hazard. Guidons will not be posted by jamming

them into the ground.

c. Storage of the Guidon. Flight guides are responsible for storing

the guidon in the appropriate rack when not in use. Guidons will

not be placed with the tip of the ornament on the ground or with

the pennant wrapped tightly around the staff. If entering a

building that does not have a storage rack, cadets will take the

guidon inside with them and place it out of the way, leaning into

a corner so that it will not fall. (NOTE: When entering a building

with a guidon, cadets will announce “GUIDON” in order to alert

others in the area to the hazard.)

d. Cadets will take care of the guidon. If any part of the guidon

breaks, cadets will not attempt to repair it. They will take the

guidon to their FTO or CTA for repair.

9. BUILDING ENTRANCE AND DEPARTURE PROCEDURES

Entrance and departure procedures are necessary in order to promote

good order and discipline among cadets while entering or exiting any

permanent structure, including Academic buildings, Dormitories, or

the Dining Facility (after clearance from the Mess Checker). These

procedures apply to squadron, flight and detail formations. If a door

becomes propped in the open position, the last cadet entering will

close it.

a. Upon halting a flight near an entrance in which entry is required,

the Cadet Flt/CC will command, “Guidon bearer, secure the

guidon and post the door.” The guidon will be placed in the

guidon stand. If there is no guidon, the Cadet Flt/CC will

command “Guide, post the door.” Then the Cadet Flt/CC will

command, “COLUMN OF FILES FROM THE RIGHT

(LEFT), FORWARD.” Upon the Cadet Flt/CC’s command of

“FORWARD,” the element leader of the selected element turns

his/her heard 45 degrees to the right (left) and echoes the Cadet

Flt/CC’s command of “FORWARD”. At the same time the

remaining element leader(s) turns his/her head 45 degrees to the

right (left) and commands, “STAND FAST.” Their heads stay

turned until they step off. After all element leaders have echoed

the appropriate command, the Cadet Flt/CC will command,

“MARCH.”

b. Upon the Cadet Flt/CC’s command of "MARCH" all members of

the selected element will step off. The element leader of the

selected element will step off toward the appropriate entrance.

The element leader of each remaining element will command,

"FORWARD, MARCH" as the last cadet in each preceding

element has passed. Giving the command as the left foot strikes

the ground will ensure their element is in step with the preceding

element. All elements will incline in the appropriate direction,

following the leading element in successive order.

c. The Cadet Flt/CC will be the last person from his/her flight to

enter the building.

d. While marching as a detail, the cadet in charge will command,

“DETAIL HALT," followed by the command of "FALL OUT."

The cadets will then enter the building.

e. The Cadet Flt/CC will be the first member of the flight to depart

the building and will designate the position for forming the flight.

The flight will exit the building and form up on the guide, in line

formation, three elements, facing the Cadet Flt/CC. When

departing as a detail, cadets will exit the building in an orderly

manner and form up on the sidewalk.

There will be no talking in formation. Cadet Flt/CCs will take

care to not block traffic into or out of the building. The last cadet

in a formation will ensure building doors close behind them.

10. MAIL

a. While in-garrison, the Flight Mail Orderly (or alternate) will pick

up incoming flight mail from and deposit outgoing mail into the

designated mailbox in the SDCS office during the designated

hours, Monday through Saturday (except holidays). Separate

instructions will be provided for mail pick-up upon arrival at AEF.

Mail Orderlies will report in to the SDCS office as follows:

“(Alpha/Bravo/etc.) Flight Mail Orderly reports to pick up

the mail.” The SDCS member will grant permission. After

retrieving the mail, cadet will report out by saying, “Will that be

all, Sir/Ma’am?”

b. Tell your parents, spouse and friends not to send “care packages”

to you during any portion of LEAD or send mail to you during the

last 7 days of training. Cadets are not allowed to retain food items

due to health concerns (spoilage) or environmental concerns

(potential to attract rodents or insects). You may return the

package to sender. If so, you will prepare the package for mailing

and pay all costs. You may also dispose of any food items or give

them to your FTO to dispose of. If food items are non-perishable

and the cadet does not wish to pay postage costs to return them,

the FTO will retain the food until the end of LEAD. The AF will

assume no liability for lost or stolen items. Other items such as

magazines must be placed in the storage area unless approved by

the FTO.

c. During LEAD cadets are not allowed to receive packages from

online stores such as Amazon, Ebay, etc.

d. Your mailing address during LEAD follows:

CHAPTER 4.1: DINING FACILITY PROCEDURES

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The in-garrison Riverfront Inn Dining Facility (DFAC) serves a

nutritious, balanced diet designed for active cadets. Cadets are

encouraged to eat three meals daily. Cadets who choose not to eat

are still required to process through the DFAC with the flight. Food

will not be taken from the DFAC. The DFAC also services other

staff and trainees, move purposefully and quickly through the

facility. Remember proper customs and courtesies at all times.

a. During each meal period two cadets will be designated as water

monitors. After successfully reporting into the DFAC, these

cadets will enter the DFAC as part of the Key Personnel, and

proceed to the kitchen to begin filling glasses of water for the

cadets in the serving line. Once the current water monitors are

relieved of duty by the in-coming water monitors, they will

immediately process through the serving line as quickly as

possible. Water monitors will always wear cover, regardless of

uniform.

b. When Meals Ready to Eat (MREs) or box meals are offered in

lieu of a hot meals meal, all items in the MRE or box lunch are

authorized for consumption, with the exception of candy, mints,

or caffeinated products unless authorized by the commander. No

items may be kept after meal period. Do not leave any garbage

and/or unopened items behind- clean up after yourself.

2. ENTRANCE PROCEDURES

a. Mess checkers will pick up the dining priority list and MREs prior

to the first flight’s arrival time at the DFAC and will work as a

team until the last flight (regardless of program) has met their

dining priority. The on-duty mess checkers have the authority to

clear flights into the DFAC early/late if there are no other flights

waiting and the early/late flight will not inhibit any other flight’s

on-time entry into the facility.

b. All flights will use the following procedures to access the DFAC:

(1) Flights will arrive no more than 3 minutes before or after their

scheduled dining priorities (if marching to the DFAC). The

Cadet Flt/CC will note the time they initially halt the flight in

front of the dining hall as their official arrival time. For

example, if a flight has to wait for another flight to clear the

bay area, they will still annotate their initial halting time as

their official arrival time. Cadet Flt/CCs are responsible for

coordinating with other Cadet Flt/CCs awaiting entry to

ensure they do not skip or make another flight late by arriving

out of their 6-minute arrival window.

(2) The Cadet Flt/CC will halt the flight, place them at “Parade

Rest”, and then take the most direct and unobstructed route

to within one pace in front of the mess checker, halt, initiate

a salute and say, "Sir/Ma'am, ___ Flight reports with a

dining priority of __, we arrived at __, our accountability

is __ of __." If the flight arrives on time, the mess checker

will say, "You have arrived on time, your flight may

enter." If the flight arrives late, the mess checker will say,

"Your flight has arrived late, exit the dining facility

immediately after receiving your MREs." The mess

checker will annotate the early/late flight and will issue one

MRE per cadet in the flight. After the mess checker gives

instructions, the Cadet Flt/CC will ask, "Will that be all,

Sir/Ma'am?" After the mess checker responds, the Cadet

Flt/CC will salute, return to the flight, and wait to enter the

dining facility with normal building entrance procedures.

(3) The mess checker and cadet reporting in do not need to

interrupt their reporting procedures to greet and salute

commissioned staff. The area outside the dining hall will

only be called to attention for colonels (O-6) and above. The

first cadet to see one of these officers will call the area to

attention, salute the officer(s), and render the greeting of the

day. When the officer returns the salute the cadet will drop

their salute and direct the area to carry on. When other

commissioned officers approach, formation leaders will

come to attention and call their formations to attention before

rendering salutes.

c. Cadets must wash hands prior to eating all meals.

FIGURE 4.1.1. Arriving at DFAC

3. DINING FACILITY PROCEDURES

a. Upon entering the dining facility form one line even with the edge

of the wall and remain at attention. Before moving forward,

cadets will look both ways and then proceed into the serving area.

While moving in the DFAC, cadets may not talk or look around

unless addressed by a staff member or dining facility staff. Cadets

may pass each other in the serving area if they are not waiting for

the same food items. Cadets must execute proper situational

awareness to ensure that they do not run into or obstruct the path

of one another while moving through the dining facility. (NOTE:

Cadets will not square corners while carrying trays, but will

square corners in non-carpeted areas if unencumbered.) The

LEADU/ADO will turn in the chow roster for entire LEADU for

each meal. The Cadet Flt/CD will be the first to process through

the chow line, and the Cadet Flt/CC will be the last. See Figure

3.7.2.

b. If a cadet needs to use the restroom, they will proceed directly to

the restroom once they’ve entered the dining facility. Upon

exiting the restroom, they will go to the back of the line waiting

to post into the serving line.

c. Upon reaching the tray and silverware stand, cadets will step

forward, execute a facing movement, and take a tray along with

the appropriate silverware. Cadets will not step forward unless

there is room on the serving line to place the tray. Cadets will not

perform facing movements while in the serving line—they will

side step through the entire serving line (heels together when

halted). When using the salad bar and water fountain, cadets will

go to the farthest available serving area in order to minimize

backup. All cadets should consume a minimum of three full 8-oz.

glasses of drinking water or sports drink per meal (24-oz). Note

forced consumption IS mal-training. The three full glasses are a

recommendation to help avoid/minimize heat related injuries.

Coffee and juice may only be consumed at the direction of the

encampment commander.

d. Tight meals are designed to instill self-discipline, a sense of

military bearing and individual attention to detail. Tight meals

include no talking or looking around. All cadets start eating tight

meals beginning with their arrival and end eating tight meals as

described in this section. The following guidelines apply whether

or not a cadet is eating. Tight meals, by definition, include sitting

at the position of modified attention.

(1) Cadets will sit at modified attention with back straight (not

resting on the chair back) and shoulders squared. Elbows will

not be placed on the table or chair arms. If leaning forward

is needed to prevent spilling food, cadets will bend forward

slightly from the waist, but not relax the position of attention.

(2) Cadets will not talk to each other at the table during a tight

meal. Cadets may answer questions directed at them by staff

or dining facility personnel.

(3) Cadets will be seated in accordance with guidance that will

be provided to you by the InG staff. Figure 3.7.2 provides a

general overview of the DFAC interior for reference.

(4) Once halted in position, cadets will ground the tray to the

front edge of the table and centered and assume the position

of attention. Cadets will remain at attention until the table is

filled or a reasonable amount of time (20 seconds) has passed

and then take a seat. When the last cadet (position 4) arrives

and stands at attention they will instruct the table to “Be

seated.”

(5) If in blues, all cadets will place hydration systems and

ponchos under their chairs and sit down. Once seated, cadets

in positions 2 and 3 will pass a napkin to the cadet on their

right and then take one for themselves. Napkins will be

placed on the cadet’s lap.

(6) The cadet in Position 4 will state “Moment of silence” to

accommodate those who wish to pray before their meal.

When everyone at the table is ready, position 4 states “Enjoy

your meal.”

(7) Cadets will have a minimum of 10 minutes to eat their meal

from the time “Enjoy your meal” is stated. Time will end

when trays are removed from the table. The Cadet that is

timing the meal will place his or her watch on the center of

table once started.

(8) Cadets will place a napkin on top of the tray to signify they

are finished with the meal.

(9) Once everyone at the table has finished eating (all occupants

of the table have napkins on their tray), cadets in Positions 2

and 3 will pass all the items from their trays to cadets in

Positions 1 and 4. Glasses will be placed on the trays upside

down, but will not be stacked. Trays will be stacked and

carried to the cabinets by two when possible. If there are

three cadets, one cadet will carry his/her own tray. If a cadet

is unable to carry the tray due to restrictions, the other cadets

will make the appropriate adjustments to carry the tray. Once

trays are stacked, cadets will stand, don their hydration

systems, ground the chairs to the right side of the table, and

then momentarily assume the position of attention. The cadet

in Position 1 will proceed to the tray cabinet. The cadet in

Position 3 will lift the napkin holder while the cadet in

Position 2 wipes down the table. The cadet in Position 4 will

wait to collect any waste left over from cleaning and then

proceed to the tray cabinet. Trays will be placed in the

cabinet from bottom to top, back to front. After complete

position duties, cadets will proceed to the exit in a military

manner.

4. DEPARTURE PROCEDURES

a. Cadet flights will exit the dining facility from the door opposite

the DFAC entry door. Upon exiting, cadets will organize

themselves into an element of two to four cadets before

proceeding to the designated area.

b. Cadets will form up in line formation in the designated area and

wait for the rest of the flight to form up. The first two cadets in a

flight to exit the dining facility will proceed to the front of the

dining facility to retrieve the guidon and then fall in appropriately

with the flight. When retrieving the guide the tallest cadet will be

on the right and will carry the guidon.

c. Cadets will exit the Dining Facility or Operations Center and

march in elements of two to four cadets to the designated location.

FIGURE 4.1.2. Riverfront DFAC interior

CHAPTER 4.2: DORMS

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

a. Housing. While in garrison, you will be housed in dormitories by

flight in shared rooms. Female cadets will be housed in separate

rooms from males. Unoccupied rooms and supply closets are off-

limits unless a staff member specifically authorizes you to enter.

Before entering a room occupied by members of the opposite

gender, cadets and staff members will announce, “Gentleman

(Lady) in the area,” and wait for the appropriate response. The

cadet closest to the entrance will confirm that all cadets in the area

are properly dressed and respond, “Please Standby” if any

member is not properly dressed and, “All Clear” as soon as

appropriate. Cadets will not change clothes in the presence of

members of the opposite gender.

b. Dorm rooms. Doors and curtains/blinds will be closed when

cadets are changing clothes. Curtains/blinds will be fully closed

at all times, and doors will be open at a 90° angle during duty

hours and closed during sleeping hours (Taps to reveille).

c. Inspection Order. Rooms should be inspection ready from the end

of the first dorm maintenance period until the beginning of CTQ.

Wastebaskets must be completely empty during formal

inspections and no more than half full at all other times.

d. Common Areas. Common areas are those spaces which all cadets

use, i.e., stairwells, hallways, dayrooms, latrines, laundry rooms,

etc. These areas must be clean and orderly at all times. Squadron

Commanders will be responsible for all squadron common areas

as designated by the group staff. The Group Commander(s) will

be responsible for common areas inside and outside of the main

administrative building (including the laundry room).

Keep bed rails clean and free from dust. Items placed on bedding

must be clean, dry, serviceable, folded, lint-free, and displayed tight,

neat, and wrinkle-free where applicable. If an item becomes

unserviceable, inform your FTO. Cadets will sleep with their head

to the wall (aka head end of bed). The bottom bunks will be utilized

prior to the top bunks. Two cadets will be housed per room and both

sides of the bed will be considered subject to inspection. Cadet 1 will

be the cadet on who occupies the bottom bunk and Cadet 2 will

occupy the top bunk.

approximately 12 inches from the head end of mattress; then, lay the

sheet on top of the mattress, creating a 45-degree angle. Tuck excess

hanging down, under mattress. Next grasp 45-degree angle and without

changing its shape, bring it down and tuck under mattress. After sheet

is completely tucked, smooth and tighten to the conformity of mattress.

(3) Top Sheet. Drape evenly over width of mattress so that the

top edge of the sheet is approximately 6 inches from the head

end of the mattress. Tuck excess under the foot end of

mattress.

(4) First Blanket. Drape evenly over width of mattress so that

the top edge of the blanket is approximately 6 inches from

the head end of the mattress. Tuck the excess blanket under

the foot end of mattress. Make hospital corners with both the

sheet and the blanket, together.

(5) Pillow and Pillowcase. Put pillow inside the case and place

on the bed, open side to the right with excess material neatly

folded underneath, flush with the head of the bed, and

centered with the width of the mattress.

(6) Dust Cover. Fold the blanket in half from narrow end to

narrow end. Drape evenly over the head end of mattress.

Single fold is approximately 24 inches from the head end of

mattress. Tuck excess blanket under the head end of mattress.

Make hospital corners (picture does not show them). Ensure

no excess blankets/sheets or strings are hanging down under

mattress.

(7) Extra Blankets. Fold blanket(s) into an “e” fold and display

the “e” fold to be viewed from and flush with the side of the

bed facing the bathroom. The blanket(s) should be flush with

the foot end of the bed as well.

DEVELOPMENT COMPLETION

1. REQUIREMENTS

You must successfully complete at least 80 percent of the required

LEAD curriculum and not be absent from LEAD for more than 72

consecutive hours.

2. NON-COMPLETION

There are many reasons you may be released from LEAD. These

reasons may be within your control (removed with prejudice) or out

of your control (released without prejudice). If you are removed or

released, the LEADU/CC (or delegate) will notify your detachment

commander and observe while you contact a family member and

inform them of your new travel itinerary. The LEAD staff will

contact the appropriate base agency for those unable to travel (mental

stress, fatigue, etc.). An LEADPR will be accomplished for all cadets

who report to LEAD. Cadets removed from Leadership Evaluation

and Development with prejudice will be det dropped (non-contract)

or investigated for disenrollment (contract) once they return to their

detachment.

a. Release.

(1) Administrative (Emergency Absence). In the event of an

emergency, the LEADU/CC may authorize you to be absent

from training for up to 72 consecutive hours. Note:

emergencies must be verified through the American Red

Cross. If you cannot return within 72 hours or are unable to

make up missed training to meet syllabus requirements, you

will be released without prejudice.

(2) Medical Release.

(a) Cadets placed on profile that prevents their active

participation in PT, competitive sports or drill for a

cumulative period of more than 20% of physical activity

time (to include morning PT, LRC, confidence course,

athletics, warrior competition day, warrior runs, etc, but

not including FTO Time PT sessions), will be released

without prejudice.

(b) Cadets medically restricted to quarters or admitted to the

MTF for a cumulative period exceeding 72 hours, will

be released without prejudice.

112

(3) Did Not Attend. This classification applies if a cadet does

not show up, whatever the reason, for the assigned MAX.

Notify your Detachment as soon as you discover that you are

unable to attend LEAD. HQ AFROTC will determine if the

no-show constitutes a release without prejudice, or a removed

with prejudice from LEAD.

b. Removal.

(1) Self-Initiated Elimination (SIE). SIE means that you

voluntarily withdraw yourself from LEAD. You will be

counseled and must state your reasons for withdrawing in an

official memorandum to the Commander via the FTO and

DO. You must acknowledge receipt of the Commander's

comments by endorsement and will be removed with

prejudice and will receive a “Did Not Complete LEAD” on

your LEADPR.

(a) If you are a contract cadet, you must understand that SIE

will jeopardize your future status as a candidate for a

commission in any branch of the US Armed Forces. It

could also result in an involuntary call to extended active

duty in your enlisted grade or recoupment of paid

scholarship benefits.

(b) If you are a non-contract cadet, you must understand that

SIE may jeopardize your future status as a candidate for

a commission in any branch of the US Armed Forces.

(2) Performance. The LEADU/CC is the local authority for

removals based on unsatisfactory performance.

CHAPTER 7: AWARDS

1. INDIVIDUAL LEADERSHIP EVALUATION AND

DEVELOPMENT AWARDS

LEAD awards are given for exceptional performance at the LEADU.

LEAD awards are based upon specific LEAD criteria below or as

determined by a Commander directed awards board. Leadership

Evaluation and Development staff can announce and recognize all

award winners at the Awards. CTA badges will be presented at the

ceremony. However, all ribbons/medals will be presented at the

detachments. Criteria for all awards can be found in AFROTCI 36-

2011, Cadet Operations.

a. Leadership Evaluation and Development Distinguished

Graduate (LEADDG) Award. Cadets graduating LEAD in the

top 2 of their flight at LEAD, as determined by the LEADPR, will

be designated as a distinguished graduate and will be awarded the

LEADDG ribbon (including silver star device). This ranking will

be based on a cadet’s LEADM test score, PFA score, leadership

position score(s), LRC score, AEF participation, and other

evaluation points as determined by LEADU staff. The top 10

percent is based upon flight initial strength.

b. Leadership Evaluation and Development Superior

Performance (LEADSP) Award. Cadets graduating LEAD in

the next 2 below LEADDG in each flight, as determined by the

LEADPR, will be designated as a superior performer and will be

awarded the LEADSP ribbon. This ranking will be based on a

cadet’s LEADM test score, PFA score, leadership position

score(s), LRC score, AEF participation, and other evaluation

points as determined by LEADU staff. The next 10 percent is

based upon flight initial strength.

c. Leadership Evaluation and Development Fitness Award. The

LEAD Fitness award recognizes one male and one female cadet

in each LEADU with the top PFA score at LEAD. All

components of the PFA must be completed to qualify. In the

event of a tie, cadets will be given additional points based on an

extended PFA scale: 1 point for each pushup beyond the

maximum; 1 point for each sit-up beyond the maximum; and 1

point for each 5 seconds faster than the maximum run time. The

faster 1.5 mile run time will be used to break any ties. The award

recipient will receive the LEAD Physical Fitness ribbon. Also,
