Jr. ROTC accepting instructor applications from reservists

  • Published
MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. --  Retirees from the Air Force Reserve Command and Air National Guard can apply for instructor duty in the Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps.

AFJROTC officials anticipate Congress will approve and enact legislation to Title 10 by Oct. 1 permitting them to hire retired Air Guard and Reserve members as instructors. Currently, active-duty retirees are the only people serving as AFJROTC instructors.

Based on this anticipated approval, AFJROTC is accepting applications from Guard and Reserve members who retired within the past 5 years or less, or who are within 6 months of a fixed retirement date. 

People can access applications via the AFJROTC public Web site – www.afoats.af.mil – by selecting “AFJROTC” and then “Instructor Application.”

AFJROTC officials said acceptance of applications depends on passage of the legislation and approval of applicants’ qualifications. They emphasize that submission of an application does not guarantee approval or selection for an AFJROTC instructor position.

More information is available by calling 1-866-235-7682, extensions 7742, 5112 or 2535. (AFRC News Service from an AFJROTC news release)
