Junior Officer Training Corps

JROTC is a program to help students graduate from high school, help them become a better citizens, and help them grow with their strengths and help build their weaknesses up. JROTC will also prepare students for their future in possibly joining in the army.

JROTC has prepared to be a better citizen by showing me the orals of how a leader should act and how disciplined a leader should be at all times. JROTC has taught me the ways that you should treat a lady and how to serve tables when you got to an event and have a guest sit at your table you stand up. JROTC has also taught me how to put service learning projects together so that the cadets or the people who will be helping know what to do and when it needs to be done by. It also has taught me how to be safe with guns because of the gun safety course. It has also taught me how to show respect a person with a higher rank than me like Sgt. And sir if they are an officer. There is a lot that JROTC has taught me to become a citizen and there will be a lot more that they will teach me. It changed me by helping me to bump my grades up and helping me with my

Since freshman year, the Junior Reserves Officer Training Corps (JROTC) program has been an invisible hand of guidance that strived to bring out the best in me. This longstanding program has an impact on me in ways so innovative, it is impossible to find another program filled with diverse exhibitions of life lessons, discipline, and teamwork. JROTC has given me a lifelong readiness to combat the harsh realities of the real world that exist, which in return has helped me better myself and my community in contributions to being a citizen in the United States of America.

My experience with JROTC began my freshman year at Forestville Military Academy through my senior year at Parkdale High School. At the very beginning of this opportunity i realized that i enjoyed participating in JROTC more and more everyday that passed. Only problem, like others was the uniform. Of course they were uncomfortable a first but then you get used to it. You get to make the uniform yours. It's almost like a new set of skin that sooner or later you're gonna have to get used to it.Slowly everyday you get a little more used to the way of obeying to the rules. This experience has been the most absolute fun experience of my entire high school memories. Favorite things to do was anything involving JROTC. From community service to

Please consider my request to be recommended to attend the Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy (SNCOA) in-residence course. This course provides a unique opportunity to develop strategic-level leadership and mentoring skills while increasing exposure to organizational culture of the Active and Reserve components. I believe that in my current position it is vital that I receive the opportunity to improve my techniques to enhance my leadership abilities and skills in order to mentor our future leaders and develop valuable management tools to aid me in future mission challenges.

Students also have to pass weekly physical fitness tests; comparable to the physical fitness test a Marine would take. JROTC also benefits a student who is planning on going to college; many who participate in JROTC in high school carry that experience with them to college and join ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps). ROTC is a college program that future officers participate in which pays for college tuition and gives a student a better perspective of military life. Students who take part in a ROTC program are expected to complete physical fitness test as well as have an academic class, and must pass both to stay in the program. (Kwan)

Becoming a NJROTC cadet has taught me many things, things that I know will be useful later in life. Obedience, loyalty, and leadership are many qualities that I have obtained while being in NJROTC. Having a structure system in place helps with motivation and determination in having a foundation set up as growing as one. I remember coming into class my first day nervous, anxious, and ready to start learning. I watched others take on responsibilities like teaching us how to march and how to set up our uniforms properly.

Have you ever thought of joining the JROTC? If so wait how about you learn the history behind JROTC first. In 1916, the Vitalization Act opened JROTC up to the other services and replaced most of the active duty instructors with retirees who would teach JROTC. High schools were given loan for federal military equipment and the assignment of active duty military personnel as instructors. JROTC has changed throughout the years. It was once used to find recruits and officer candidates. It than soon became a citizenship program to help improve moral, physical and educational strengths for high school students. It also made students learn discipline and order.

In my four years I have accomplish many things being in Horn Lake High School Marine Corps JROTC program. They have showed and taught me things that I can take further on in life with the camps and the leadership. I have seen first had on what it’s like to be a United States Marine in boot camp. I’ve also meet the CEO/founder of FedEx. JROTC has open me up to amazing opportunities that probably would have never happen if I wasn’t in the program.

You have probably heard about JROTC already before, but do you know how different JROTC is today than how it was 100 years ago?

The foundation of JROTC began with the passage of the National Defense Act in 1916. Declaring that the goal of the program is to influence high school students across the United States to be better citizens. Giving the opportunity to young adults to excel in every area and to involve them in leadership roles. Over time JROTC has changed to become more modern in certain areas but, still pertaining to the original purpose and motive. A 100 years from now this program will most likely expand, have different ways of learning, and overall increase academic excellence in high school students

Since my freshman year, I have been a part of Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC ). I joined the JROTC raider team my junior year, while on the team, I realized that my teammates were skeptical about success. Making them feel as though as if success was a fantasy, I felt the need to uplift and lead my teammates the best I could, heeding to their skepticism. Being in JROTC has taught to take charge when in the opportunity presents itself. All that asked my teammates to do was to outperform themselves every single day. I was taking a risk of carrying the burden that my teammates carried. I used the qualities that I learned in JROTC to motivate and lead my team to success. Using the mantra “do better than yesterday” to remind my teammates
