If you saw one of your Joes doing this, how would you react?

Or maybe this Joe enlisted under the alternate training program AKA "split Option", and he is actually really still a high schooler. And honestly why not question why this prom photo has in uniform cheerleaders...as a recruiter I would high five this joe and ask for a referal.

Perhaps everyone should refrain from braggadicious and inflammatory comments until all of the facts are in. Those aren't prom dresses I see on those girls, either. Looks more like a photo taken during the school day, and he appears more JROTC, than a member. No unit insignia? Well, then, he most likely hasn't seen training. Let the young man be proud of his current level of accomplishment, and if it's discovered he is wrong, then make a spot correction in private to avoid his embarrassment while bolstering his confidence in leadership.

Very good chance this is actually just the prom or homecoming court at a pep rally, which would put him on duty for the picture. Note the two cheerleaders in uniform. This is not a formal anything really, which means he isn't actually in the wrong. The formal presentation of the court usually has the females dressed up in a way you can't deny it's formal. It does look they did some sort of dress to impress day.

JROTC Does have ASU's but during a normal school day some JROTC programs have you wear ACU's one day a week and ASU's one day a week. But I cant recall if they wear the US Army or JROTC Velcro. And even most JROTC classes have some sort of patch to identify as a school or the JROTC patch itself. My opinion is he is most likely split ops and is finishing his Senior year. No Patch so he most likely graduated basic and hasn't been to AIT yet. Kid probably doesn't know what 670-1 is. No point in getting upset about this. He'll get to his unit and he will learn. And when he becomes permanent party his knowledge will grow.

They also wear uniforms like this for the JROTC programs in high school now

Don't be jealous that the kid has girlfriend. Probably thinking with the smaller head instead of the one under his PC.

This looks more like homecoming than prom. Do we know that this guy is even in? He could've gotten the ACUs at a surplus store.

Looks to me like a homecoming queen and her court ... being escorted by JROTC and other selectees at a school presentation and pep rally. The sashes all say Homecoming ...

I'd keep my yap shut ... unless I wanted to compliment him on the fox he was escorting.

Do they wear BDU's in high school ROTC

Not enough context, and I don't care anyway. When he leaves Dunghole, Iowa to come back to Fort Wherever, no one is going to care that he's in the Army. Let him enjoy his time being the center of attention as the Honorary King of the 76th Annual Dunghole Spinach Festival or whatever.
