Do military members and veterans support young people in JROTC

I believe we should support them. I came from in JROTC program in high school and I found it to be a particular benefit early and my military career.

Aye sir! Our MCL Detachment presents an annual award. We partner with them in our fund raising events so that they too can make some money. We attend some of their drill comps. Had their color guard post colors at our Marine Corps Birthday dinner. Of course the four of them got comp'ed their $40.00 ticket. Whenever we can, we like to celebrate our young students. The mission to help guide these kids to be productive and responsible citizens is an honorable one.

I would hope that once made aware they would have our support!

Military order of the Purple Heart gives a Leadership Award to outstanding JROTC cadets every year.Some of the other veterans organizations do so as well.They also have scholarship programs.

Our oldest son has been AFJROTC all 4 years of high school. He is now the armed IDR commander and member of the Cyber Patriot team. He is looking to join ROTC .in college as well. I think it is a wonderful organization. I know a lot of military members, both past and present, mock JROTC. Yes, there are those cadets who think JROTC is a direct line into the SF pipeline and pound their chest as such. Those are few and far between.

These programs will also grant you E-2 if you ever decide to join the military you will go in with 1 aditional rank a college degree plus JROTC will grant you E-3.

Even though i was a Young Marine & Civil Air Patrol. I highly support JROTC the ARMY JROTC let us barrow there bulding. When i was a Young Marine we barrowed the Naval Sea Cadet Corps building. All of these are great programs for the kids .

Ladies and gentlemen I posted the question in hopes of getting support for the 182 young cadets that have never experienced a military ball, please show them that you care by either answering the question, sharing the post or donating to their fund! Thank you!
