With regard to hazing, Air Force and instructor guidance is very clear. In short, hazing is strictly prohibited and cannot and will not be tolerated.
Paragraph 7.7 of AFJROTCI 36-2010 (found here) states the following:
"No person will encourage, allow, or condone the use of any type of physical act or abuse as an outcome, punishment, penalty, or corrective training for a cadet’s failure to achieve a specific result. These prohibitions include, but are not limited to physical exercises, menial tasks (e.g., cleaning bathrooms), or any physical exchange such as shoving, pulling, or hitting.
"No person will encourage, allow, or condone the use any type of psychological abuse as an outcome, punishment, penalty, or corrective training for a cadet’s failure to achieve a specific result. These prohibitions include, but are not limited to any effort to humiliate, tease, intimidate, or publicly reprimand or embarrass a cadet for failure to achieve a specific result.
"No person will encourage, allow, or condone the use of any form of hazing, whether physical or psychological, within any AFJROTC event, activity and/or practice. All persons involved will ensure any membership requirements or qualifications to join any approved AFJROTC team, event, or activity does not include anything humiliating, demeaning, or otherwise unapproved by this instruction.
"No person will encourage, allow, or condone the use of any device, gimmick, or game to select an outcome, punishment, penalty, or corrective training for a cadet’s failure to achieve a specific result.
"Unofficial groups, secret societies, private clubs, or any other unofficial entity within an AFJROTC program is prohibited."
