What Does ROTC Use Peer Communication?

I investigated how cadets’ communication evolved while they were in JROTC and how they used word of mouth to achieve the program’s goals. Colonel Spry mentions that cadets’ discussions when they first start out in the program are not very serious in nature, but as they grow and move up in the program they begin to mature and have thoughtful discussions on how to solve a problem and what kind of plan it would take to resolve it.

The Army ROTC will influence my life in many ways. The specific skills receive in Army ROTC will include leadership development, military skills and adventure training. With my leadership skill that lease by an example or , I will become a leader who reacts to a situation

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.

In September, I had the opportunity to visit the Naval Academy for a “Candidate Visit Weekend.” During my two-night visit, I was paired with a current midshipman, whom I accompanied to classes, meals, and a sports practice. Personally experiencing daily life at the Academy and meeting current midshipmen has reinforced my desire to join their ranks. The most inspiring thing about the midshipmen I met was the effort that they put into succeeding. Being a part of this culture, even for two days, has shown me that I can work just a little harder, and that I can push myself just a little further. Since returning home, I have done just that in numerous ways.

Men of Alpha Phi Alpha such as James Felton and Vaun Davis are key to why I want to pursue my aspirations of someday becoming a brother of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity incorporated. Both James and Vaun’s unselfishness has allowed me to grow as a leader and also into a man. These role models have opened numerous doors for me that have resulted into various benefits and opportunities. I hope my encounters with great Alpha Men such as James Felton and Vaun Davis will allow me the opportunity of joining the highly respected brotherhood. Another abundant encounter that I have experienced with Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, is the true meaning and display of brotherhood. For years I have watched the interactions and connections of men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated I have noticed that each member that I have encountered expresses and implements the true meaning of brotherhood. I profoundly believe in the bond of brotherhood and fraternity. In my belief, if granted the chance to uphold the unbreakable bond such as the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, the bond would enhance my credentials while assisting and challenging others. The brotherhood would push me to

An abundance of medal-clad students halted in formation, arranged in a platoon at the far side of the gym littered with desks. Standing at attention, the group radiated a sense of unity, a demand for respect. Amid all the misconceptions revolving around ROTC, the program doesn’t falter under a scrutinizing eye.

Being both active on the college campus and in the community, ROTC can help fill the civilian-military gap through the education of the civilian population. Public knowledge needs to be increased through positive experiences between the civilian populace and the military. Being a programed designed for the commissioning of officers, ROTC trains civilian students as military officers equipped with the knowledge to train future soldiers on civil-military relations. Being such an important bridge between the civilian and military world, this paper will cover the first introduction of military training on the college campus through the Morrill Act. Despite this Act being enacted before the official gathering of ROTC, the military training it

This was significant in my leadership skill since I was made a platoon sergeant and became responsible for sixteen students and everything that they needed to complete. I was liable for their whereabouts and the many things that they needed to learn in order to be promoted. Also I had to make sure that they were ready to march for the District Inspection and Fiestas Patrias Parade. In order to represent the school well. Which took a lot of work and dedication, but when they were able to comprehend what they were being taught it made it easier. And when it was time for them to stand in the inspection and do everything that they were taught correctly it made it all worthwhile to be their platoon sergeant. Being a part of ROTC taught me service when I participated in the Fiestas Patrias Parade. Since it made me dedicate an entire day to being in the parade and making sure that I did my part to represent my school the right way. As well as, build my character since I had to keep my integrity in tact by following through with being loyal to my school, and exert my good behavior to show my school is great.

As a squad leader and a sergeant in JROTC I've learned many things like how to march myself and other cadets, how to teach in my own way, and how to become more independent of me. These three skills have all been a huge accomplishment from the person I was before joining the program. I have become cadet of the month and taught others how to do the same. Although some may not like my leadership

The JROTC is a place where men and women of high ethics and values are forged with care and sturdiness; it is a second home for many. The JROTC, short for (The United States Army) Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, has been living in our school system for 100 years and has created various great citizens of our country since. The program has its roots in the National Defense Act of 1916 and its purpose has varied in the past 100 years from one thing to the other, yet the strive to make the best out of every single cadet has been engraved into the program and the people in it since day one.

Being a cadet has helped me in so many ways. It has given me more confidence, more involvement in my community, more purpose, and more social, leadership, and communication skills. It has allowed me to be the best person I can

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.

For me, the video of Simon Sinek speaking on developing trust and fulfillment hit very close to home, as I must employ some of his techniques when working with new AFROTC cadets. Typically, these cadets are motivated, but lack the knowledge of how to operate efficiently in a military environment; which is to be expected. Given that most new cadets require a great deal of time and energy to teach the basic skills required to succeed in the AFROTC program, when they do begin to excel, I am rewarded with a sense of fulfillment, pride, and espirit de corps. Truly, as Sinek said, “Fulfillment comes from doing good for others” and perhaps the greatest fulfillment of AFRROTC is the ability to physically interact with and positively influence a wide variety of students from nearly every walk of life. Sinek, in his presentation warns his audience that this type of interaction is essential to obtain a sense of fulfillment, and to be mindful of distractions, such as the internet or social networking, which can replace these genuine interactions.
