I’m sorry, if feels like you have been mistaken. If you were joking, then excuse me, but if otherwise then let me explain to you further. As of typing this, I am a first year cadet and a c/ Airman First Class at my Air Force JROTC Unit. JROTC does not provide you with any combat training whatsoever (not just for AFJROTC units, but as a whole with other armed forces JROTC units). The only element of JROTC as far as I’m aware that bears any resemblance to “actual military training” are the PT/Raiders teams (PT stands for physical training, PT teams are a much more advanced version of PE that also encompasses after school routines whereas Raiders is an even more advanced version of the PT team). As a member of my unit’s Raider’s team, I can say with first hand experience that we are exposed to grueling obstacle cores, mile runs/lightweight ruck marches, and even more physically demanding tasks that rival and or are more difficult than the athletics programs at school. But even then, this cannot match up to actual military training. And yes we have a marksmanship team, no they don’t use real guns- they use BB guns.
Students learn how to be leaders,learn study skills,things that help in college ,in the work place and later if you do decide to go in the military whatever branch you decide,I am 60 now and have worked in several places in my life ,I am now a Security officer graduate Air Force JROTC Abilene Tx cCapt graduate
