Wow... look at this handsome devil. Jackson Knight Laingen is now a cadet in the East Ridge High School Air Force Junior ROTC program... There are only a few kids in the program, since it's a new school, and he really seems to enjoy it. It is basically a civics course, but has a military feel to it, with a retired lieutenant colonel and sergeant major who do the teaching. There is also some PT (physical training) involved.Mom and Dad didn't even know he had signed up for it! The uniform is not quite dark blue enough for Dad, but we are very proud of Cadet Laingen!
The Air Force Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps mission is to "Develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community." Learn more about the AFJROTC program HERE.
