The success of AFJROTC would not be possible without the dedication of its Aerospace Science Instructors. Officer Instructors are retired officers with at least a bachelor's degree and a minimum of 15 years on active duty. Almost 90 percent of them have master's degrees with backgrounds in teaching and experience working with youth groups. Enlisted Instructors are retired non-commissioned officers (NCOs) with a minimum of 15 years on active duty. Presently, 27 percent of this group have bachelors degrees and 14 percent masters degrees. Most of them have experience in the supply, administration, drill and ceremony, teaching, and youth group activities.

All AFJROTC instructors are deeply involved in community relations. They teach aerospace science and leadership education curricula. They also serve as liaisons between the Air Force and civilian agencies in the aerospace field, and perform career and performance counseling for AFJROTC cadets. They help plan and support activities like military balls, cadet competitions, cadet newspaper production, military ceremonies and charitable activities. They provide instruction in drill and ceremonies and in the principles of leadership and management. In short, the instructors devote themselves to the cadets in the classroom and during extensive extracurricular activities. Their hard work and devotion have resulted in an AFJROTC program which is highly acclaimed on local and national levels.
