aint that like JROTC but is a club like deal for your area?

hey joe, why dont u do Sea cadets or young marines? My friends have been doing it for a while and they love it!

i dont under stand how thoughs work

there are 4 JROTC branches in the US... Army, AF, Navy, and MC...

Marine Corps programs are scattered throughout the country, I think there are 15 in all. I tried to get my school to do it, but getting JROTC in a school filled with anti-military liberals is really hard...

If you want a marine corps program do this... write up a proposal or survey for your school saying that you need people interested in the program to sign it. Try to get 100 signatures(the JROTC HQ requires 90, but just go for extra), and if you do, take the signatures and proposal to your principal and have her/him look over it. I'd suggest coming up with a good speech or something like that to persuade the principal. If you manage to talk him/her into sending the proposal to the branches, then good job, you've made a difference in your school. If not, then oh well, wait till you can join the real military.

The reason I focused on the Marine Corps for this is because I tried this already with that same branch, but I failed to even get 50 signatures(50 is the minimum number of cadets that must be enrolled in the program for it to stay active).

I guess that's it.

Thank you for the info. didnt know that....but is still doesnt explain the Young marines or Sea Cadets

Check out the other topics for information on them. Ask about them there.

also, the Civil Air Patrol National Website gives a good bit of information about CAP, and how to find a squadron and such.

The Young Marines National Headquarters Website

I was jsut sent a letter from the Navy telling me that when I graduate highschool I should send them a copy of my high-school whatiscalled (can't think of the name) and they would review it for admissions to Annapolis. However, in the meantime, they suggested, I should invest time into joining actively in an NJROTC or Sea Cadet program. They also forwarded information about the Sea Cadet program. If you go to www.seacadets.com you may find information on the topic. Good luck with getting an ROTC program, and happy hunting for Sea Cadets. If you cannot get Sea Cadets, ROTC, or Young Marines then you could attempt to find a local Seabees unit. www.seabees.com Good luck, again!

thanks today got lots of info lol
