You say you're not recruiting but don't many JROTC graduates enter the military?
Yes, 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 (E3) and pay grade (Approx. $300/mo. today). But, the JROTC program is not set up to recruit and does not request or expect a military commitment of any kind.
Can JROTC help my child go to college?
If the potential is there, we definitely can help. JROTC training improves the ability to study, to take test, to set goals and to focus. These are the tools a student needs to get better grades and have a better chance to attend college.
Does my child have to wear a uniform?
Yes, once a week, or when taking part in special ceremonies. The rest of the time, normal clothing is fine.
Are there any fees for uniforms, books or special equipment?
No, the JROTC program supplies uniforms, books and all equipment used in the course.
Is JROTC training as hard as it sounds?
Well, the course is demanding, but most of the students who make an effort really enjoy the challenge and thrive on the hard work and discipline.
Who teaches JROTC?
Retired Army personnel with years of experience working with young people. Instructors are certified by the Army, but they are hired by, and work for, the school. Besides having at their command state-of-the-art instructional techniques, JROTC instructors serve as exceptional role models for maturing teenagers.
Are there any age requirements for JROTC?
Yes, a student must be a least 14, (or in the 9th grade) to take JROTC.
Do JROTC students have to be U. S. citizens?
No, they don't. Although we teach about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, we also teach many other subjects that are valuable to students regardless of their citizenship.
Will my child be required to get a short haircut?
Not normally. As one JROTC instructor says, "We're interested in what's in your head, not what's on it."
Do JROTC cadets have an obligation to join the military?
No, you're under no obligation for any future military service.
Where can I get more information about JROTC?
A JROTC instructor will be happy to meet with you and answer and questions. The office is located at C-5.
