THE NEW BALLANTYNE RIDGE ARMY JROTC 

"WOLVES"

"MISSION TO MOTIVATE YOUNG PEOPLE TO BE BETTER CITIZENS"

The Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) Program’s mission philosophy is “To Motivate Young People to be Better Citizens” and it is a service to our nation that provides Cadets the motivation and skills to remain drug free, graduate from high school and become successful citizens. The program is one of the largest character development and citizenship programs for youth in the world. It instills in students from secondary educational institutions the values of citizenship, service to the community and the United States, personal responsibility and a sense of accomplishment. While participation in JROTC does not require a military service commitment, Junior ROTC Cadets may qualify for an advanced placement in the Senior ROTC Program or in the Active or Reserve Components of the Armed Forces. Cadets may be authorized the enlistment grade of Private First Class (PFC/E-3) if they have successfully completed three or more years of JROTC.
