Once a cadet has done this task the cadet is eligible for the AFJROTC Model Rocketry Badge, after this task is done FLIPS has many things to offer a cadet. For example, a cadet can have the opportunity to fly professional Remote Controlled model planes, also, after the cadet s three launches the cadet can modify his/her Alpha as well as build bigger and better model rockets. A cadet can also learn different about aerospace, aircraft, aeronautics, as well as what it is like to have a career in those fields.

You are taught wilderness survival skills, land navigation, and basic medical skills you may need to know in the field. There are two teams associated with Orienteering and both can earn you the orienteering ribbon. The first is the competition team. This team is made up of a team leader, three team members, and two alternates. This team, led by the team leader, competes in local and state orienteering competitions to win titles for the unit. The team leader can be anyone from the wing commander, to the club president, and even the average cadet. The other team is the newly established Search and Rescue team (SAR). This team is an experimental team and the first of its kind in the wing.
