The Goals of Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps

“How JROTC has prepared me to be a better citizen of the United states of America”. JROTC has prepared me to become a better citizen by teaching me how to use leadership skills and be able to cope with subordinates. It also has prepared me to be a better citizen by showing me what the 7 army values are and what they mean. Some of the army values are respect, honor, integrity, and personal courage. JROTC has showed me how to do things different from the way I thought things should be done and how to march and be able to keep a company and platoon together when marching. Since I know a lot about the JROTC I am able to help other people become better citizens like I was taught. I am also a better citizen because i have the discipline not to do certain things that I did before I took the JROTC class.

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.

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.

I started JROTC my freshman year in high school and stuck with it through recent years. I never though JROTC would ever become a part of my life like it is today. JROTC is a program in which you're taught values, leadership skills, and social skills, as well as a variety of other things (Medical, survival, maps, and etc.) I really learned the core values in being a leader through JROTC, and without them, I don't think I'd be the person I am today. I'll always hold the JROTC experience dear to my heart, as well as include it in job resumes, because managers like leaders. I've gained many of my friends through JROTC as well as developed a

Students participating in JROTC may study military versions of history and civics and learn marching skills. In some schools, weapons training is a component of the JROTC curriculum. Time spent in JROTC often is time taken away from academic subjects that provide solid preparation for college. JROTC program costs to local school districts often exceed the estimates provided by the military. This can strain educational budgets and lead to cuts in other programs. Acquire proficiency in basic military skills (such as drill and ceremonies, first aid, and map reading) that are necessary for working effectively as a member of a team. Learn the importance of citizenship through American history as it relates to America’s culture and future from the Revolutionary period to the present. Learn about the dangers of substance abuse and the importance of mental management, including goal setting and positive self-talk. Graduate from high school. Be good citizens by knowing and exercising the rights, responsibilities, privileges, and freedoms of good citizenship.

When we go to future parades I want to learn new chants to represent our school. In JROTC I want to learn what you need in your resume when applying for a university and what will look good on it, so I can get a higher chance to get into that university. I would like to know what you need to do in JROTC to get a better chance at a college and for how long you have to do something in ROTC. I would like to try to do team building exercises so students in are class get to know each other better and communicate well, so when we get older it would be easy for us to do simple tasks. I think our class should communicate more so we can build strong friendships and accomplish a task together in class. I learned a lot in JROTC it changed me a lot; my personality changed and I became a better leader and I build better friendship and my leadership skills improved a lot. I want to learn what other things JROTC haves to offer that isn’t related to drill, rifle, etc. I want to know what soldiers have to go through when they are sent to war and how they adapt to their surroundings when they go to war. I want to learn about what the president thinks about the wars and how many soldiers they send to defend this country. I’m curious on the chain of command people have to follow to contact the

What had initially started as a source of enlisted recruits and officer candidates, evolved into a broad program devoted to the moral, physical and educational advancement of its cadets. The program has retained its rigid structure and goal of infusing in its student cadets a sense of discipline and order through its growth. JROTC today has become a source of structure in the lives of its cadets, contrasting greatly with its original purpose. JROTC today has become a vital facet in the lives of its cadets. JROTC has become, in and of itself, a source of broad opportunities for leadership and enrichment. The program is similar to a school inside of another school. JROTC teaches its cadets moral, social and practical skills, many of which are not covered in the common school curriculum. The JROTC curriculum ranges from life-saving to negotiation skills, both of which are of indispensable use to cadets in their future regardless of the unique path that they elect to take. JROTC also possesses a macrocosm worth of special teams. Ranging from Color Guard to JLAB Leadership Bowl, to Cyber Patriot, each of these teams cater to the different bits of intelligence, strengths, and interests that every cadet undoubtedly possesses. JROTC also contains an enormity of opportunities which are available to be seized by each and every cadet. Ranging from meeting Major Generals in command of a plethora of troops to assisting with the

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

Jrotc helps cadets develop character and leadership by putting them through a strict curriculum designed to make cadets better leaders and citizens. Jrotc is lead by cadets so it gives everyone a chance to become a leader and lead their peers in a variety of drills and exercises. In jrotc we learn how to be a better citizen by participating in community activities and events. Personally I think jrotc has helped me strive to be a better leader and focus on what I have to get done to be successful. It also encourages me to participate in community activities like the Veterans Day march. I think leadership is an important skill because when you are asked to lead a group of people in a job or a sport you can be successful and people will look

What it means to me, to be a R.O.T.C. Junior Cadet at Pryor Middle School. Being a R.O.T.C Junior Cadet means a whole lot to me, as it has been my lifelong dream to serve in the United States Military. A R.O.T.C Junior Cadet should demonstrate qualities of loyalty and patriotism, dependability and good character, obedience to discipline, and leadership abilities. It is important to show loyalty because loyalty builds character and reliability in a person. Being able to understand and exert discipline is also important in order to be successful.

Today I would like to talk about JROTC and how it has come about in these many years it has been around and what it is meant to do for the youth of America.

It has always been my hope to attend a highly respected university and get the best education possible, so I have spent most of my academic career working to make myself stand out amongst the hundreds of other candidates. Along with being a cadet in the JROTC program and playing on a sports, I have also done a number of other academic and physically challenging extracurricular activities throughout my four years of High School. Each of these clubs, events, and opportunities have shaped me into the person I am today and have brought me closer to my lifetime goals.

Entering any of the United States Armed Forces as a commissioned officer, like many other professions everywhere, requires at least a baccalaureate education. And an institution’s reputation may further support that effort by tangibly accelerating career trajectory, especially near the beginning. Under those circumstances, graduates from any of the Military Service Academies regularly garner assignment preferences in addition to networking advantages over the course of their careers. After that, the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) programs utilized at select colleges and universities across the United States rounds out an ever larger mosaic.

Jackie Robinson quote “A life is not important except in its impact on other lives.” speaks volumes to me as a person because as child my parents raised me in church and I was told that making an impact on others’ lives make all the difference. Around my 12th Birthday my mom told me that I was getting placed in an advancement program which boosted me into high school at an early age. As I was registering for my classes my freshman year I noticed something very interesting that I had never seen before in school and the was JROTC, or Junior Reserve Officer Training Corp, Program. This program really sparked my interest in the fact that I was an opportunity to gain leadership experience while still being able to learn as a student. As years progressed

JROTC stands for Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps and it’s a program in my high school that helps students become better citizens and develop skills that could help them sometime in life (leadership, time management, teamwork, …). In JROTC, I met a lot of new friends, developed motivation to work hard in my life, and learned many knowledge
