Georgia Career Information Center JUNIOR RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CORPS (JROTC) Do you want to develop your leadership potential? Is improving your physical and mental fitness important to you? Do you like working as a member of elite team? Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (JROTC) is a high school course taught by retired military personnel at selected public and private schools in the United States and its territories. In Georgia, there are more than 200 units representing the four service branches. The goal of JROTC is to motivate young people to be better Americans. The program combines classroom instruction and extracurricular activities. JROTC gives instruction about the rights, responsibilities, and privileges of citizenship. It helps to develop the student cadet's sense of personal responsibility. The program also helps to build life skills and provide leadership opportunities. For additional information about JROTC in Georgia, check out: http://www.doe.k12.ga.us/ Questions Students Ask Frequently Asked Questions Why enroll in JROTC?

A uniform is usually worn one day a week or during participation in special ceremonies. Does the school provide the uniform or will I have to pay for it? The JROTC program supplies the uniform, books, and any equipment the course requires. Do I have to get a short haircut? Each program sets the specific grooming guidelines. As one JROTC instructor says, We re interested in what s in your head, not what s on it. What types of extracurricular activities are offered? Each JROTC program is unique. Many programs have Color Guard and Drill Teams. In addition, you will find programs that offer Air Rifle Teams, a Georgia High Association varsity athletic sport.

Questions Parents Ask JROTC says it does not recruit, but don t many JROTC graduates enter the military? The JROTC program is not set up to recruit and does not request or expect a military commitment of any kind. Many cadets, however, find they enjoy military discipline and structure; it brings out their best and allows them to excel. Some win appointments to one of the military academies and those who enlist can enter military service at a higher rank and pay grade. Is JROTC training as hard as it sounds? The course is demanding, but most of the students who make the effort really enjoy the challenge and thrive on the hard work and discipline. Who teaches JROTC? JROTC is taught by retired military personnel with years of experience working with young people. Instructors are certified by their respective branch, but are hired by, and work for, the school. Are there age requirements for JROTC? Yes, a student must be at least 14 years of age to enroll. Do JROTC students have to be U.S. citizens? No, they do not. Although we teach about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, we also teach many other subjects that are valuable to students regardless of their citizenship. Can JROTC help my child go to college? If the potential is there, the program can definitely help. JROTC training improves the ability to study, to take tests, to set goals, and to better focus on academics. These are the tools a student needs to get better grades and to have a better chance to attend college. Where can I get more information about JROTC? The guidance counselor at your child s school or the JROTC instructor will be happy to meet with you and answer any questions.
