FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How often do I have to wear the uniform?
Cadets wear the uniform every Thursday and conduct uniform inspection to ensure they are meeting the standard and demonstrate responsibility with keeping up with all uniform items.
What do we do for physical fitness training?
Cadets conduct PT (physical training) on Monday and Friday and do a variety of fitness activities to challenge them physically and mentally. Activities include push ups, sit ups, burpees, running, squats, lunges, and partner assisted activities with medicine balls, kettlebells and other weighted items.
Do I have to cut my hair?
Cadets are expected to meet a higher standard while in JROTC which includes adhering to specific grooming standards. Males must have their hair neat and tapered, with no hair touching their ears or collar. Females can have long or short hair. Long hair must be worn in a ponytail or bun while in uniform.
Can I play a sport and also be on a JROTC team like Raiders?
Yes! Cadets are encouraged to maximize their high school experience by participating in a variety of activities and teams. There are many current and previous cadets who have been in several extracurricular activities and on the Raider and/or Drill team and are very successful.
Is JROTC only for people who want to join the military?
NO! JROTC is for any student looking to develop leadership skills, confidence, resiliency, discipline, and a positive mental attitude. The mission of JROTC is to motivate young people to be better citizens not force them into the military. Instead we focus on setting students up for success in life after high school, no matter the path they choose.
What is the benefit of JROTC versus taking another focused elective?
Students who are in JROTC for 3 years recieve credits that exempt them from having to take Physical Education, Personal Wellness, Government, and Finance. This frees up significant time to participate in other school activities or take additional classes they are interested in.
Are there events that happen during the year that cadets must participate in?
Yes, there are two main events each school year (SY) that cadets are expected to participate in. The Veterans Day Parade in November, downtown Clarksville and the JROTC Military Ball in the spring (Feb/Mar).
