The JROTC Program

The SAI of Blackman’s program, Colonel Gary Spry, expresses an additional goal besides the overall mission statement: “We have many young adults in our program who grow up in less that [sic] stellar conditions at home and they crave a place to belong … we work with these young people in an attempt to help them be better...to have a better life for themselves.” Cyla Lacuniak, a senior who has been a cadet in the program for all four years, says, “… the goal of the JROTC program is to improve our leadership, communication, and critical thinking

Their primary mission was to prepare male teenagers for military service. Equipment and instructors were provided by the active duty Army. These programs were looked upon as a source of enlisted recruits and officer candidates.In 1964, the ROTC Vitalization Act expanded JROTC programs to the other services; Navy, Marines, and Air Force. As a result, active duty Army instructors were replaced with military retirees.Eight years later, in 1972, females were allowed in JROTC programs as cadets. Females were previously allowed as

I would like to be in the Marine Corps JROTC program because it will be able to help me learn the basic elements and the need for national security and my personal obligation as an American. The Marine Corps JROTC program will also help me strengthen initiative and individuality to establish natural gifts, to teach me self-control, progress personal character, responsibility and aspect of integrity, loyalty, and dedication. This program sparked my interest as I know that it is highly beneficial and can teach or promote positive, productive behaviors. With this program, I learned that the Marine Corps JROTC cadets arrive everyday, have higher participation in class, are role models for avoiding substance abuse, have higher self-respect, develop

JROTC, Junior Officers’ Training Corps, has impacted thousands of young men and women’s lives in its 100 years of existence. JROTC was created by the National Defense Act of 1916 as a part of Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, more commonly known as ROTC. Under the supervision of the act, high schools were authorized the loan of federal military equipment and assigned active duty military personnel as instructors. During its early years, the course consisted of three hours of instruction a week for three years any many of the times that high schools scheduled training was inconvenient. Any cadet that met these requirements by the time they graduated was awarded a certificate of eligibility for a reserve

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 students took the success profiler in order to be able to understand our strengths and weaknesses. Since it is hard for people to understand their true strengths and weaknesses, this test was made to give people more reliable answers on their strengths and weaknesses. After finding the answer to cadet’s weaknesses, Conover gives cadets online courses to help them improve on their weaknesses. This allows them to become better citizens, which is the mission of JROTC.

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.

JROTC is a successful program, making substantial contributions to students, schools, and communities which benefit greatly from its presence. The benefits of JROTC are reflected in metrics impacting all schools in the U.S.

When working as a JROTC instructor there are many steps in which an instructor must take in order to be a JROTC instructor. There are many certifications that they must go through before even being considered for the job. They must have military experience at a certain rank, they must also pass many requirements that they would normally pass in a military unit. The must show the ability to train others without having to treat students like they are in the military. For some career Soldiers they may be hard to complete. You must have a lot of patience when dealing with high school students. They are not very disciplined and don’t really have a lot of life experiences like a Soldier normally does. I will describe the type of training program of a JROTC instructor must go through and continuously do throughout their time as a JROTC instructor.

Now JROTC programs are in as many as 1,550 high schools in America, in all 50 states and as well as some foreign countries like Germany. JROTC teaches leadership, morals, and ethics in classrooms. JROTC also provide students opportunities to be on a team. These teams include, Air Rifle, Cyber Patriot, and various drill teams such as,

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.

You have probably heard about JROTC already before, but do you know how different JROTC is today than how it was 100 years ago? Maybe any historical events that has been contributed to the Army JROTC? Well if you don’t then I would consider for you to keep reading! First of all JROTC stands for Junior Reserves Officers Training Corps and this program has been around for 100 years now and I think there have been huge changes from yesterday to what it is today to what it will be tomorrow.

In my first year of JROTC some of my improvements were my Interpersonal Awareness, stress management and Physical wellness increased hugely- others increased as well but these were the most significant. My interpersonal Awareness increased from the strengthen category to the enhance area, meaning over the year I learned to be more aware of myself, my thoughts and feeling. This also allows me to be able to understand others better, like Nikki Giovanni said “If you don’t understand yourself, you don’t understand anybody else.” Throughout my first year my stress management skill also grew, going from strengthen to enhance. I could feel that during the year, I felt less stress and more free and my work reflected that
