Ranks

Ribbons are listed in precedence order. The NJROTC ribbons are be worn centered, one-fourth of an inch above the left breast pocket of the shirt or coat. Adjustment may be necessary to make the ribbons parallel to the deck on the Service Dress Blue Coat. NJROTC ribbons are be worn in the order of precedence with the most senior ribbon worn on the top row and inboard when more than one ribbon is on a row. All earned ribbons can be worn at the same time, but only one of each ribbon may be worn with devices/subsequent awards attached to that ribbon. Other awards and ribbons awarded by other organizations besides NJROTC such as other military JROTC programs, DAR, American Legion, ROA, marksmanship, etc., are worn after (junior to) NJROTC ribbons in the order determined by the Naval Science Instructor (NSI).

Medals earned are only worn on uniforms where awards and decorations are authorized. They are positioned one-fourth of an inch below the bottom row of ribbons on the left breast pocket, arranging in seniority order inboard to outboard in the following order: NJROTC Academic Competition, NJROTC Marksmanship Competition, and all other prescribed by the NSI. No more than 3 medals will be worn in each row side by side or 5 medals when overlapping, in addition to its corresponding ribbon, if any. When wearing large medals, they are placed immediately below the last row of medals so only the medallion of each medal is visible.
