JROTC Opportunities
With 1,734 programs and 20 more approved in the next two years, junior ROTC is the third-largest youth program in the U.S. Cadets exceed schools’ averages in attendance, graduation and GPA, and have lower drop-out rates and instances of indiscipline, according to the Army. “The power of Army JROTC is its ability to create better students, better citizens and better leaders for our nation,” said Maj. Gen. Antonio Munera, commander of Army Cadet Command, which oversees the program.
What to Watch: The program can now tap into a larger pool of instructors because of a provision in the defense authorization act. Positions previously limited to retirees are now open to recently separated officers and NCOs who served honorably for at least 10 years, among other requirements.
