Who is the ASI (Air Science Instructor)?

Who is the ASI (Air Science Instructor)?

• A. United States Air Force Retired Master Sergeant Carlos Guevara
• B. Major Jose Bareng, USAF Ret.
• C. Captain Maria Lopez, USAF Ret.
• D. Lieutenant James Harris, USAF Ret.

Answer: (D)

The ASI is the person who directly delivers aerospace science instruction and helps run the JROTC unit, usually a retired Air Force officer who can mentor cadets in the program. Among the listed individuals, the retired lieutenant fits this role best because he is a commissioned officer with the leadership and instructional background typical of someone designated to instruct and guide cadets in AFJROTC. The other options include an enlisted master sergeant, who would more typically serve in a different instructional capacity, or officers who could serve in other roles, but the roster in this context identifies the retired lieutenant as the ASI.
