Air Force JROTC Instructor Job Requirements & Job Description
13.5.3. Aerospace Science Instructor (ASI). In each unit, a Noncommissioned officer (may also be a Commissioned officer in certain cases) is employed as an ASI (NCOs: TSgt thru CMSgt) to complete the unit's basic complement of instructors. In the context of AFJROTC program requirements, operations and activities, the ASI is supervised by and reports directly to the SASI (AFJROTC Department Head). A successful ASI is an effective leader who is action oriented, outgoing, proactive, and self-reliant. Must be of excellent moral character and have an enthusiasm for aerospace science, leadership education, teaching, and the Air Force.

Although ASI primary instructor duties are usually associated with leadership education, the ASI may also teach aerospace science subjects, if qualified and not prohibited by federal, state, or school policy. Schools usually assign the ASI as the unit's primary military property custodian (MPC). Academic, administrative, logistical, financial support tasks, and after- school activities are equally shared by all instructors as regular duties.

13.5.4.1. Maintain liaison with Air Force representatives in academics, logistics, finance, and academic areas to ensure effective utilization of Air Force resources.

When the school does not specify a particular format, instructors must use the format outlined in the AFJROTC Curriculum Guide.
13.5.4.5. Confer with Holm Center/DE (Academic Affairs) regarding course planning and content, examination procedures, scheduling difficulties, teaching methods and techniques, and other related areas.
13.5.4.6. Instruct students by a variety of means, such as lecture, guided discussion, lecture and discussion combined, student briefing or report, student panel, teaching interviews, guest lectures, team teaching, demonstration-performance, role playing, and brainstorming or problem solving using large and small group interaction.

13.5.4.17. All instructors are required to have current Adult (ages 14-18) Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) certifications at all times while on employment contract. These certifications must be granted from a nationally recognized, hands-on style program. Instructors may pay for CPR training using unit O&M funds if available. If funds are not available, this remains a mandatory, individual instructor requirement. Instructors who do not possess a valid CPR certification will not lead or supervise any cadet wellness activities until the certification is properly obtained.
