Extracurricular Activity Descriptions​

The TX-20081 AFJROTC group offers many fun and optional afternoon extracurricular clubs, drill meets, competitions, and summer courses.

Standard Drill Meet Information

30 Step
Cadet Commander: N/a
Meet times:
  • N/a
30 step drill is a drill team that consists of AS1’s and is commanded by an AS2. It’s all very simple drill movements that will set the baseline for any other drill team younger cadets would want to join later. There’s usually a 30 step team at most drill meets, so it also gives younger cadets a chance to compete at competitions. Not only will cadets have the opportunity to attend Saturday practices, but 30 step is often practiced in class on drill days.
armed Drill
Cadet Commander: Cadet As. Gomez
Meet times:
  • N/a
We drill with replica rifles and learn a few other drill movements with the rifles. Those who can drill with rifles tend to have an easier time drilling with other teams.
Unarmed Drill
Cadet Commander: Cadet Am. Gomez 
Meet times:
  • N/a
We drill with the same drill sequence as Armed Drill, just without the rifles. Anyone on the Armed Drill team normally becomes part of the Unarmed Drill team.
Sabre Team

Meet times:
  • Monday: 1645 - 1745
​Color Guard
Cadet Commander: Cadet Am. Gomez
Meet times:
  • Tuesday: 1645 - 1745
The Color Guard is a group of four or five cadets that present the colors at games, ceremonies, or competitions. For some civilians, the color guards might look like a few kids with flags and toy rifles, but to our Corps of Cadets, they lead the way by serving our community and nation in a very visible way.

Stellar X
Cadet Commander: Cadet Isken 
Meet times:
  • Thursday: 0715 - 0815
Stellar Xplorer is a nationwide competition where teams have to complete scenarios. In these scenarios, the team has to create an orbit within certain parameters to best fit the mission, assemble a satellite to best fit the mission, and/or pick a rocket and load it with the most cost-efficient parts. These scenarios can take up to 6 hours to complete start to finish. Last year we were in the top 20 teams nationwide and made it all the way to the semi-finals, which is the farthest we ever made it. Anyone can join and learn how to complete the scenarios.
Leadership Academic Bowl
Cadet Commander: Cadet Howell 
Meet times:
  • N/A
Academic Bowl is a team where we compete against other JROTC units answering questions about things we learn in our core classes, ASVAB questions, leadership, and current events. The competition is 2 levels, and then the championship. The competition can be done whenever within the given time frame, so it’s good for busy schedules. Academic teams can also compete at drill competitions.
