Q: You say you're not recruiting, but don't many JROTC graduates enter the military?
A: Many cadets find they enjoy military discipline and structure; it brings out their best and
allows them to excel. Some win appointments to one of the military academies. And those
who enlist can enter military service at a higher rank and pay grade. But the JROTC program
DOES NOT request or expect a military commitment of any kind
Q: Can JROTC help students go to college?
A: We definitely can help. JROTC training improves the ability to study, to take tests, to set
goals, and to focus.
Q: Do cadets have to wear uniforms?
A: Yes, but usually only once a week, or when taking part in special ceremonies. The rest of
the time normal clothing, such as the school uniform, is fine.
Q: Are there any fees for uniforms, books, or special equipment?
A: The JROTC program supplies uniforms, books, and all other equipment used in the
course, free of charge. There is a fee if the uniform is damaged, lost, or stolen.
Q: Is JROTC as hard as it sounds?
A: The course is demanding, but most students who make an effort really enjoy the
challenge and thrive on the hard work and discipline.
Q: Who teaches JROTC?
A: Retired Army personnel with years of experience working with young people are the
instructors. They are certified by the U. S. Army, but they are hired by, and work for, the
school. Besides having state-of-the-art instruction techniques (see Classroom) at their
command, JROTC instructors serve exceptional role models for maturing teenagers.
Q: Are there any age requirements to be in JROTC?
A: There's no firm age requirement, but students must be in at least the 9th grade to take
JROTC.
Q: Where can I get more information about JROTC?
A: The guidance counselor at school or the JROTC instructor will be happy to meet with you
and answer any questions. You could also visit a helpful link on the Home page or you could
