Yea i just sent an email to the Student Activities head at my school (btw, does it matter if your school is public or private?)

Anyway, i hope he at least reads my letter, because i know there are countless students who are definately interested. I didnt write him a report or anything, but I'm crossing my fingers.

I just talked to my Director of Student Activities and he said that the school would be interested and that i would need to gather some info about the programs, anyway, i gather that and heres my info just to help any of you out:

After contacting some of the programs and talking to some students of high schools which have JROTC, a good way to ensure a JROTC program would be to apply to all branches and then accept the first that accepts the applications, however here are some websites which I found that have the info about their respective JROTC programs:


Naval JROTC Program Information:

https://www.njrotc.navy.mil/index.cfm

Marine Corps JROTC Program Information:

http://www.tecom.usmc.mil/jrotc/

Army JROTC Program Information:

https://gateway.usarmyjrotc.com/http://portal.usarmyjrotc.com/jrotc/dt

Air Force JROTC Program Info:

http://www.afoats.af.mil/AFJROTC/index.asp

These sites are the official sites for the branches of the Armed Forces and their JROTC programs. Also, all sites contain School Application forms and additional info.

i recently read that getting a AJROTC program could take up to 5 years because they have such a long waiting list. My friend and I have both tried to start one at my school and that was in the begining of the year and it is now summer and we just finally got a reply after making several apoinments to see our activities director and she said they are still looking into it.

Hi i was just reading the letter you wrote, and i was wondering can i, myself, copy and paste it to my principle, and would i get in trouble for stealing someone's else work?

Getting a JROTC unit started is hard these days. With so much dis-approval of the military, some towns have gone so far as to outlaw JROTC in schools. Its sad, as JROTC is a fantastic program, but if you go to a small school (or one filled with not much love for the military) you might be out of luck. You can try Sea Cadets or CAP though. Good luck.

I am attempting to get a JROTC program started in my school but is it possible to have more than one such as an AJORTC and AFJORTC in the same school.

JROTC is a joke.
I saw ROTC cadets who came through JROTC pipelines. What absolute rubbish they are.

It all depends on the JROTC program. I'm in Army JROTC and CAP I think their both good. CAP Cadets think they have more dedicated members then JROTC just because they are a volunteer organization. Thats kind of true but I have to say JROTC has more opportunities for PT and other physical activities. CAP and JROTC both have professionals but just b/c JROTC is a class there are sometimes people who got put in there who didn't want it with school scheduling SNAFUs.

Also ONE JROTC program PER School cant have 2 branches.
