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).

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.

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.
