ROTC Q & A

  • Are there any post graduation benefits to joining JROTC?

    Posted by:

    Cadets who participate in JROTC and have completed three years before the date of enlistment, these cadets may be entitled to advancement to A1C/E-3.

    For cadets who plan to attend a 4 - Year College/University that has a Senior JROTC program, participating in JROTC will provide a solid footing for success in the first two years of the ROTC program where you can compete for scholarship opportunities.

  • If I’m in JROTC, can I still be in other programs, sports, and/or clubs?

    Posted by:

    Yes. Even if you are in JROTC you can be in any sport, club, or program. The JROTC instructors and other school athletic coaches make every effort to allow students to participate in other sports, clubs, and/or programs.

  • Why do I have to wear a uniform?

    Posted by:

    The uniform, worn properly, is a sign of respect to the program, our country, those who have worn the uniform before us, and yourself. It also prepares you for business etiquette and dress in life.

    The uniform is worn on Tuesday for the purpose of uniform inspections.  Cadets not in school on Tuesday must wear their uniform the first day they come to school during the same school week.

  • What will I learn?

    Posted by:

    The JROTC Curriculum consists of military-related topics such as marching and leadership. JROTC also teaches U.S. history, future financial planning, study skills, first aid, and other important life skills. After-school teams are also available and will improve vital skills learned in the classroom. The biggest lesson in JROTC, however, is becoming a leader.

  • Does participation in the program obligate you to join the military?

    Posted by:

    No, joining any branch of the military is completely voluntary. JROTC is here to help students become better citizens, not recruits.
