The frequent question, “How do we forge good American citizens?”has been asked every year, and it is addressed differently by every group in society. The National Defense addressed this question by creating the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) for all four military branches: Air Force, Army, Marines, and Navy. Although eligibility requirements and specific mission vary among branches, they share the primary goal of developing responsible and informed citizens, who are motivated to obtain higher education and take on leadership positions. All four armed services generally require students to maintain acceptable academic achievements, physical fitness, and to proudly represent the military branch by maintaining appropriate dress and appearance standards and conduct (Helium). The Air Force’s Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) program instills this goal for a better society, but the focus is more on the rewards the students, also known as cadets, obtain for themselves rather than for society. Students who are active participants of AFJROTC receive many rewards that are beneficial for them while in school, but also for a life time.…

Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) program can be a three-year journey of life changing experiences that build character and leadership. I was a sophomore when I first join JROTC, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Throughout my student life being a cadet, I was challenged physically, mentally, and emotionally. But I was able to learn more about teamwork and leadership. The curriculum consists of practical exercises that directly target an individual’s leadership and character. JROTC has taught me what I would not have learned in any other class in high school. Cadets have overcome fears and have formed lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories. Overall, they have found JROTC has molded a sense of character within them just it has for me.…
In 2005 statistics continue to be released showing a slump in both US military recruitment and the rate of re-enlistment by personnel whose contract has expired. The worst branch that was affected when the war started was active duty or full-time Army followed by the Army Reserves and National Guard.

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.

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…
