Yea tell me about it, we just got a new instructor this year, our old one retired, and the new one just got in from the fleet. It took some time for him to adjust from the stricter attitude of active duty to "us".
But cadets in my unit are sometimes hard to deal with, only the cadets that are trying will coincide with the cadet staff, and fear punishment for screwing around. But in this day and age society in America seems to have a surplus of kids who say "I don't care" all the time, and unfortunately I think one of the biggest problems with any JROTC unit like this, is that unlike the U.S. military we don't have the UCMJ to back every thing up. Problem cadets who don't fear school punishment and who have grown up with submissive or no parents are killing my unit's discipline. Drug use is also a problem.
Having said individuals on teams is also a bad thing, our unit is small, real small, and if we kick to many cadets out for bad moral character and work ethic, then the Navy will put us on probation for 2 years till we pick our numbers back up, thats coupled with the fact that we are taking in less and less NS1s every year, our future isn't pretty, and trying to find a answer for these problems is something that has been eluding me for three years now.
