I believe that in the future ROTC will not be as big of an impact upon people. Due to the recent budget cuts there have been some ROTC closures. This really does not affect the students it mainly affects the staff. There will be many job losses because of this. Due to the cuts the newcomers will not get as much of a benefit as we do. Also since they are going to cut down military recruitment, people might not find the program as beneficial to them anymore. It is not my hopes that this will…
Throughout the program, we were taught these values, "Integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do." I had multiple opportunities being placed in leadership roles to lead others within the corps. From this, I learned that you're accountable for everything you do, and you have to own up to your mistakes no matter how bad the repercussions will be. AFJROTC also includes numerous community service projects and not only did I give back to the community with over 150 hours of community service, but I also gained the trait to be…

“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” Said by Steve Jobs. Being in Jrotc had taught me many things. I first joined as a sophomore. I didn't know what to expect. Since I’ve started JROTC I’ve been challenged mentally, physically, and emotionally. I have learned how to work more as a team and learn about leadership. Most things I’ve learned in JROTC I probably wouldn't have learned in my other classes. Cadets have managed to overcome many fears, tears, lifelong friendships, and unforgettable memories. Therefore, Jrotc builds character and leadership by its many activities such as conducting color guards, being apart of the chain of command, and being apart of the raider team.…

By going to leadership academy and a leadership conference, I realized there are different ways to lead different people. Realizing this is crucial because I cannot approach someone in a situation the same way I did with another person, I learned how to talk to certain people based on their personality.…

Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage are the seven basic values of the army. JROTC helped me grow as a person and let me interact with people that I would have never interacted with before. I developed social skills and a good work ethic during my time in the JROTC. Over 50% of students in high school were in the program. I helped over a 100 students with basic army movements and discipline skills. A lot of students didn’t care much if they were good at what I was teaching them. That didn’t stop me from forcing them to repeat basic army movements for an hour each day. I taught them repetition and discipline. The more and more people I helped, the more people saw me as dependable. My instructor gave me more responsibilities and tasks to do as he saw me improving. JROTC helped me meet the friends that I still have to this day. If I did not join the program I wouldn’t have become who I am today. I used to be an introvert and kept to myself at all times. I rarely finished assignments or even started working on them. I never participated in any extracurricular activities. I was just a super lazy…
To begin with, the first reason that I enrolled in JROTC was because I want to be different then every high school student. JROTC has truly been a blessing in my life. JROTC has helped me stick out from the crowd because most high school student do not like being told what to do. Also they do not like wearing the uniform but I take pride in it because when I grow older I will join the army because of the great amount of influences that I had in my life from my dad to LTC Harrell. When people see my down the hallways they ask me do you like that class? And I always reply the same thing “OF COURSE!!!!”…
Throughout PFC I have learned and gained many new important factors in life whether they are new skills to lifelong friends. Being in PFC has exposed me to new ways of learning and becoming a better leader in the future. From the beginning, I have inherited new skills through the trainings conducted and last minute conflicts on the freshman days of service I have been a part of. The trainings were not just a way of torture, waking up on Saturday mornings dragging myself to work so I can sit there for four hours just to listen to someone talk and instruct us on what to do. Those trainings were another way for us all to get together, learn about each other’s qualities, and being able to deliver to the program to creating a better community for…

I am currently a freshman and I am enrolled in the JROTC program at Boca Ciega High School, and at first I wasn’t sure what to expect and who I would encounter.

When I became a part of one of the Deer Park JROTC Cadets, I’ve never knew I would come to find happiness and enjoyment in the three years I spent growing with the other cadets. In the first year when I joined JROTC was unpredictable for me because I went from playing softball throughout my whole entire childhood into my freshman year to marching in formation as a JROTC cadet. The life lessons I learned from Chief Underwood and First Sergeant Harmon is always give my best of ability into my school work, extracurricular activities, and part-time jobs for a successful career. Because of these basic opportunities I’ve received in high school, I’ am more prepared for many obstacles in the real world compared to other kids that can’t go to school…
