hey guys ,today I'm giving my though and review of JROTC(junior reserve officer training corps),JROTC is a class offered is at most high schools in the united states. JROTC is a class/program that teaches leadership and teamwork.
At first I took jrotc to get out of gym but overtime it became fun and i made some good friends. In my jrotc unit we have three teams,rifle,drill,and raider team. Raider team is a athletic sports team that competes against other schools( mile,pushups,situps,mile,5k run,rope bridge,etc) drill team is about precision and timing, doing drill movements such as flanks,columns,half step,rear march,etc),and rifle team shoots air rifles at targets going against other schools,however it is invitation only.
Raider team is probably the funniest thing i did in jrotc. No matter who you are by the end of a raider meet you are either half gay or half lesbian. (common joke we make) we also joke about the raider team being "special" since we do screw around alot.
In jrotc I'm on staff. staff is responsible for most of things that happen in jrotc. the S-1 is responsible for keeping up with cadets attendance,how many people are in the battalion,who has fees,etc. S-2 is responsible for security and arms room access and inventory of weapons,automation,and sensitive items. S-3 is responsible fore upcoming events and weekly training schedules. S-4 is responsible for supply and distributions of uniforms. S-5 is responsible for newsletter. CSM(command sergeant major) is responsible for assigning people to color guards,honor guards,and cadet of the month/quarter/and year board. battalion commander and xo(executive officer) are responsible for everyone and everything that happens or fails to happen.
Every week we have briefings of were we are at with our part of the battalion and we usually brief the SAI(senior army instructor) ,and principle.
Jrotc always helps with rank if you decided to join the military. If you take Jrotc for at least 3 years of high school you receive E-2 unless you join the navy,you will receive E-3.
