The mission of JROTC is to motivate young people to be better citizens. JROTC was created by Edgar R. Steevers. Due to the National Defense Act in 1911. It had originated from Norwich, Vermont. Nothing really had changed since the beginning of JROTC. It still has the same mission and goals. Some of the desired goals are to graduate high school, be good citizens by knowing and exercising the rights, responsibilities, privileges, and freedoms of good citizenship. Army JROTC has a well-defined organization. JROTC is the same but different. The motto of the program is still the same they want to make people better citizens, but the people and technology is different. The technology has advanced since the beginning of JROTC. The people have also
By May 1981, approximately 40,000 women were enrolled in college and university ROTC units throughout the United States. By May 1981, over 32,000 were enrolled in the high school units.In 1987 the first true mission statement for JROTC stated, “Motivating young people to be good Americans,” which was later modified. Today the JROTC mission statement states, “To motivate young people to be better citizens.”JROTC taught combat tactics and combat weapons training, and military based tactics such as first aid. In 1990 everything took a change as a result to a curriculum change. The Curriculum dropped combat tactics and combat weapons training, and increased the focus on citizenship. As of 2005, there are 1420 schools with JROTC programs, approximately 278,000 cadets, approximately 3600 instructors and more than 300 schools on a waiting list to establish their own JROTC program.
The SAI of Blackman’s program, Colonel Gary Spry, expresses an additional goal besides the overall mission statement: “We have many young adults in our program who grow up in less that [sic] stellar conditions at home and they crave a place to belong … we work with these young people in an attempt to help them be better...to have a better life for themselves.” Cyla Lacuniak, a senior who has been a cadet in the program for all four years, says, “… the goal of the JROTC program is to improve our leadership, communication, and critical thinking

The United States Army Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, abbreviated JROTC, was established by the National Defense Act of 1916. JROTC serves as a character and leadership development program for the United States’ high school students. High school students enrolled in JROTC are called “Cadets.” There are approximately 314,000 Cadets enrolled in JROTC in 1,731 high schools, drove by 4,000 retired Army Instructors. In the beginning, through the JROTC program, high schools were able to use federal military equipment and assign active duty military personnel as instructors for their classes. In 1964, the Vitalization Act opened JROTC up to the other branches of the military and also replaced most of the active duty instructors with retired members of the armed forces, who worked for and are cost shared by the schools. Title 10 of the U.S. Code declares that “the purpose of Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps is to instill in students in United States secondary educational
One of the primary goals of patient care has been safety for a long time. How patient safety is regulated has changed throughout history. Between 1917 and 1918, the American College of Surgeons developed The Minimum Standards for Hospitals which was a one page document that lead to The Joint Commission (TJC, 2014). Founded in 1951 with accreditation beginning January 1953, TJC is currently the oldest and largest organizations setting standards for patient safety (TJC, 2014). The American College of Surgeons required ethics for physicians in 1951 (TJC, 2014). Today TJC and other credentialing organizations require all staff, clinical or not, to participant in patient safety goals. Regardless of the organization you work for, patient safety will
I would like to be in the Marine Corps JROTC program because it will be able to help me learn the basic elements and the need for national security and my personal obligation as an American. The Marine Corps JROTC program will also help me strengthen initiative and individuality to establish natural gifts, to teach me self-control, progress personal character, responsibility and aspect of integrity, loyalty, and dedication. This program sparked my interest as I know that it is highly beneficial and can teach or promote positive, productive behaviors. With this program, I learned that the Marine Corps JROTC cadets arrive everyday, have higher participation in class, are role models for avoiding substance abuse, have higher self-respect, develop
My experience with JROTC began my freshman year at Forestville Military Academy through my senior year at Parkdale High School. At the very beginning of this opportunity i realized that i enjoyed participating in JROTC more and more everyday that passed. Only problem, like others was the uniform. Of course they were uncomfortable a first but then you get used to it. You get to make the uniform yours. It's almost like a new set of skin that sooner or later you're gonna have to get used to it.Slowly everyday you get a little more used to the way of obeying to the rules. This experience has been the most absolute fun experience of my entire high school memories. Favorite things to do was anything involving JROTC. From community service to
JROTC matter to me in many ways. I feel like I have more respect after taking JROTC for awhile. It gives me better attitude and leads me with how I’m suppose to be in public. It may be hard at first, but it’s not gonna let me down. I’ve learned so many things in this class and it help me to be more focus on my school works.
The mission of JROTC is to motivate young people to become better citizens. In JROTC I want to be physically fit/healthy and disciplined. Skills that will be learned in JROTC will help me in the future as in going to collage like becoming a nurse. JROTC give us many opportunities of having high chances of going to collage. As a cadet I have learned that it takes high standards to being in this unique program. It may be a challenge but it takes hard work and dedication to become great.
Navy Lt. Katherine Kline, the officer in charge of JSMART, says the goal of JSMART is “to promote wellness in all JTF members. Being in the military, we are trained to put others first but it is our belief that if you can't take care of yourself, then you can't take care of others. I always encourage people to think of it like this -- when you're on an airplane and the oxygen masks drop, what do they tell you to do with it? The answer is, put yours on first because if you can't breathe then you can't help anyone else to breathe. That is the epitome of self-care.”
Students also have to pass weekly physical fitness tests; comparable to the physical fitness test a Marine would take. JROTC also benefits a student who is planning on going to college; many who participate in JROTC in high school carry that experience with them to college and join ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps). ROTC is a college program that future officers participate in which pays for college tuition and gives a student a better perspective of military life. Students who take part in a ROTC program are expected to complete physical fitness test as well as have an academic class, and must pass both to stay in the program. (Kwan)
JROTC students took the success profiler in order to be able to understand our strengths and weaknesses. Since it is hard for people to understand their true strengths and weaknesses, this test was made to give people more reliable answers on their strengths and weaknesses. After finding the answer to cadet’s weaknesses, Conover gives cadets online courses to help them improve on their weaknesses. This allows them to become better citizens, which is the mission of JROTC.
The JTF is based upon current doctrine, the scenario, and forces currently available. The command and control and organization of the JTF explains the need for service and functional components as well as the effectiveness of dual-hatting in certain situations, and where it could add additional confusion in other situations. It also explains the multinational, civil-military, SOF, command
In other words, the Army’s mission is to deploy when needed and to win in combat in support of the interests of the United States. It conducts training and operations in every part of the world with 520,000 active duty Soldiers in 223 occupational specialties or jobs. The mission seems relatively simple but recruiting Soldiers to fulfill this mission and retaining them is much more difficult than one would realize. I will present a few of the benefits in the Army’s EVP that motivate Soldiers to “be the best they can be” to make America and the world a better place.
