. ROTC Air Force ROTC was authorized when dent signed into law the ROTC Vitalization Act of 1964 (Public Taw 88-647) in October of that year. The first major legislation affecting ROTC since 1916, the Vitalization Act modernized the colle¬ giate ROTC program and was the basis for the Ju¬ nior ROTC program. Previously only the Army had a high school ROTC program. Now all three ser¬ vices were to have it. Junior ROTC is basically a three-year program, but can be expanded to four years to accomodate military institutes. Each new school introduces the course at the 1 Oth grade level. 41

AFJ Academically oriented, Air Force Junior ROTC is primarily designed to enable high school stu¬ dents to become better informed citizens on the challenges and opportunities of aerospace. In addi¬ tion, it is intended to develop leadership capabili¬ ties in the student and to introduce him to the magnitude of the national defense effort. It is also designed to promote habits of orderliness, personal honor, self-reliance, and discipline. Each school has a retired Air Force officer as an instructor and may have one or more retired NCOs serving as assistant instructors. 40
