In conclusion, ROTC has given me confidence in motivating not only myself but those who I hold in the highest regard. After joining the class I’ve become more enlightened on the crucial importance of peer communication which has exceptionally strengthened my relatability and overall empathy. With renewed self-assurance in health and charismatic demeanor, I will continue exemplifying these learned behaviors throughout the many professional and relationship opportunities to come in future.
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.

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
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.
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.

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.
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.
In School I am enrolled in the JROTC program and here is where my three r’s come into play. I am the commander of Delta Flight, and as a commander, I lead my cadets to always ensure they represent our core values. Our core values are integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do. Many of my cadets look up to me, which is why it is important to me that they can trust and rely on me.
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.
