ROTC cadets stand alert for their drill. During their inspection, ROTC cadets ran drills and were graded on their performance.

Lafayette High School’s Air Force Junior ROTC (AFJROTC) unit was awarded “exceeds all” in a recent inspection of their standards Feb. 28 2017.

“There’s no way I can  summarize all the standards we adhere too,” said James Smith, ROTC director.

The Missouri 81st JROTC upholds certain traditions attributed to the uniform they wear. The ROTC also has a unit of 110 cadets within its ranks. Each student followed the demographic, grooming and uniform standards.

“This sets a baseline for us a viable organization and allows room for growth within certain standards,” said Smith. “So with polished shoes and well-kept hair the ROTC may move forward in their endeavors.”
