Ok, well as most of you know theres an ROTC progam at school. Can anyone explain to me what its about? Thanks soo much!!

it stands for Navy junior reserves officer training corps. The class is a four year long course. But you dont have to stay in if you dont like it.

Basically in the class you will learn alot about the bracnhes of military. navy, marines, army, coast guard, airforce. You will have quite a view guest speakers from each branch. Through out the year you will have comptitions with the other Rotc groups from all the different schools around that state. Not every school but around like 15-20 schoools. at the compitions your pretty much doing alot of running, push ups, situps, color guard, drill team, armed drill team, and alot more activities. Going to compition is not required unless your teacher requires it. Joining an after school team is not required either but is recommened. I did color guard and its alot of fun. One day a week everyone in Rotc wears their military uniform. The uniform is givin to you with nothing to pay unless you lose it. And while your in the uniform you will get inspected.

Also theres alot of marching that you will be learning. Its alot of work but also alott of fun.

Through out the year you will have chances to earn ribbons. Ribbons are colored bars the you willl wear on your uniform. You them for gettting so many commuinty services hours or joining a team & going to so many compotitions and so many more things.

toward the end of the year around march your rotc group should have a milliltary ball. Its a dance kind of like prom. You dress up. When you first get there you eat and they do a long speech and introduce alot of people. Then you have like 3-4 hours of dancing.


i hope this helps.
