subordinates so long as they do not interfere with the academic progress of cadets in the
corps.
d. Requests for announcements that need to be made during scheduled LLAB time by
cadets will be first approved by their squadron commander. The cadet(s) who wish to
make the announcement must receive final approval of their Group Commander before
presentation to the Cadet Corps. No last minute announcements will be made unless
seen fit by any Group Commander. Group Commanders will ensure that
announcements are well thought-out, contain accurate information, and are of sufficient
relevance to warrant the use of LLAB time. The Cadet Wing Inspection Team led by the
Inspector General, will subsequently give constructive criticism regarding the public
speaking skills and areas of improvement necessary for the projection of authority and
professionalism. Cadets wishing to make an announcement will be arranged at the front
of the auditorium, in an organized manner, to minimize time in between presenters. Most
announcements can be posted online rather than requiring the use of scheduled LLAB
time.

to make up LLAB by watching the DVD which will be made available the week following
the missed LLAB. The cadets who missed a LLAB will check out the DVD from the OFC
the week after the missed LLAB but no more than two weeks after the missed LLAB. Cadets
who have missed a LLAB for other reasons are encouraged to make up LLAB in the same
manner. Exceptions can be made to this timeline, but cadets should make every effort to
make up the LLAB as quickly as possible. Due to space on the DVDs, the CS/HO might not
be able to fit LLAB in its entirety. If that is the case, he/she should focus on capturing the
LLAB objectives. The MTS/LLO will be able to provide guidance as to what should be
captured or not.

week for ICL, SCL and ECL cadets. For PT, each cadet will attend a minimum requirement
of two PT activities per week, but cannot be required to attend in excess of 3 hours of PT per
week (Monday through Sunday). These weekly limits on mandatory PMT training hours are

healthy and active lifestyle and ensure the cadet corps meets the fitness standard for active
duty service. This purpose warrants the emphasis placed upon the program by the Cadre and
the cadet leadership.
(1) Weekly physical fitness is mandatory and will be conducted IAW with current
AFROTC requirements. Cadets not reaching attendance standards will face escalatory
corrective action, with the possibility of involving the OFC.
a. The competition criteria will be made public before the second LLAB and posted on the
detachment bulletin board.
b. The Project Warrior officer will develop a plan that provides for the evaluation of at least
one criterion per LLAB that will factor into the determination of the Honor and Warrior
flights.
3) The list of awards to be given out at the end of each semester can be found in AFROTCI 362011, para 10.10. The cadet wing staff will utilize this information in conjunction with a list of
eligible cadets provided by the cadre to make their selections. This list must then be approved by
the OFC prior to the awards ceremony at the end of each term.
