Air Force Rotc Jobs (NOW HIRING)

All applications are taken via this website. Those who do not meet the initial screening requirements for use of the online application may still be considered on a case by case basis if they receive a waiver from the Chief of Instructor Management. An example of an unusual circumstance is the person's time since retirement has exceeded five years and they desire to apply for an extended vacancy or hard to fill location.

HQ AFJROTC's goal is to provide and maintain a fair and equitable nomination process so that any interested applicant has an equal chance at a particular vacancy. Anyone interested in a particular vacancy should not attempt working with any school directly until HQ AFJROTC officially refers them as an approved applicant. If it is determined that a particular applicant is circumventing this official process in an attempt to gain an advantage, that applicant may be rendered ineligible for that vacancy.

HQ AFJROTC Instructor Management reserves the right to make that determination. Department of Defense Dependent Schools (DoDDS Schools): Due to the high-visibility locations, proficiency training required, and increased cost of Headquarters visits in overseas locations, all applicants for AFJROTC vacancies in DoDDS are limited to experienced AFJROTC instructors (current and prior instructors only). Current instructors must meet the transfer criteria as stated in AFJROTCI 36-2001 to be considered.

Prior instructors must be in good standing and have received a satisfactory AFJROTC Form 98 from their previous school when they departed. Only those names screened, approved and referred to DoDDS by Holm Center/JRI are eligible for consideration.
