The NJROTC Program is administered by the Naval Service Training Command (NSTC) located at Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida, and locally supervised by the NJROTC Area Seven Manager located at the US Coast Guard Station, New Smyrna Beach, Florida.

2. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: The goals established for the NJROTC Program center on learning the basic elements and requirements for national security and the personal obligation of American citizens to contribute toward national security. Basic objectives are as follows:

a. Promote Patriotism.

b. Develop informed and responsible citizens.

c. Strengthen character and promote habits of orderliness and precision.

d. Promote an understanding of the basic elements and requirements for national security.

e. Develop a high degree of personal honor, self-reliance, self-discipline, and leadership.

f. Develop respect for, and an understanding of, the need for constituted authority in a democratic society.

g. Promote community service.

h. Provide information on the military service as a possible career.

3. NAVAL SCIENCE CURRICULUM: Naval Science (a.k.a. NJROTC) is an elective course at NORTH PORT High School with one credit earned at graduation for each year of Naval Science completed. NORTH PORT High School is the only "center" in the County public school system that offers Naval Science studies.

4. UNIT MISSION: "To provide an environment where student-cadets can learn naval science and experience first-hand the requirements for strong self-discipline and positive participation attitudes in an atmosphere of a formal (militarily-structured) organization. "

5. UNIT MOTTO:

"The BIG CAT Leads, Others Follow, or step Aside."

6. ENROLLMENT OUALIFICATIONS: To be eligible for enrollment in the NJROTC Program, a student must be:

a. A citizen of the United States.

b. Physically fit to participate in the school's physical education program.

c. Accepted by the Naval Science Instructors and the submission of the program application. Such selection shall not discriminate based of sex, race, religion or national origin.

d. In total agreement with the rules and regulations of the Unit and the NJROTC Program as set forth in this Handbook. And maintain a 2.0 GPA.

7. CONTINUANCE IN THE PROGRAM: To continue in the NJROTC, a cadet must:

a. Stay physically fit by meeting the basic standards of the school's Physical Education Program. PHYSICAL EXAMS: All cadets are required to have a physical exam each school year. Physical exams are mandatory if participating in NJROTC. Forms for a school sports physical are available and this will suffice for the Unit.

b. Have received the NJROTC uniform and be prepared to wear it for inspection on the first announced uniform day, and each prescribed uniform day during the school year.

c. Have paid the NJROTC service/activity fee (see Page 1 1, NJROTC Service Fees) and completed all required paperwork prior to 1 October.

e. Pre-requisites for Second Year Cadets: Pass NS-I and be advance to at least Petty Officer Third Class.

f. Pre-requisites for Third Year Cadets: Pass NS-2 and be advances to at least PO2.

g. Pre-requisites for Fourth Year Cadets: Pass NS-3/4 (as assigned), completed signature requirements up to rank of PO1 .

NOTE: Waivers may be granted by SNSI/NSI

8. PROGRAM BENEFITS: The program has an abundance of benefits, particularly for those cadets who maintain a positive attitude with respect to participation and conformance to rules and regulations. Foremost will be a marked improvement in self-discipline, team (cooperative) spirit, maturity, and responsibility. In addition, student-cadets will derive the following tangible benefits:

a. Enlistment at Advanced Pay Grade: Cadets who successfully complete 3 years of NJROTC and receive a letter of recommendation from the Senior Naval Science Instructor, are entitled to an advancement / promotion up to a pay grade of E-3 (Navy) upon enlistment in a military service and the completion of recruit (basic) training.

NOTE: THERE IS No REQUIREMENT TO ENLIST IN THE MILITARY SERVICEAFTER COMPLETING ANY PORTION OR ALL OF THE NJROTC PROGRAM, SUCH ENLISTMENT IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY ON THE PART OF THE CADET

b. Naval Academy Nominations: Nomination for an NJROTC Naval Academy appointment may be submitted by the Senior Naval Science Instructor for those cadets who are a member of the Unit during his/her senior year in high school and meet all Naval Academy qualifications and requirements. In addition, cadets may apply for appointments via their senator, congressman, or the President of the United States. Normally, cadets who are being considered for academy nominations must have at least a 1250 SAT score, a well*balanced student-activity profile, and be in the college track curriculum.

c. NROTC Scholarships: The Senior Naval Science Instructor is authorized to nominate qualified and motivated cadets for NROTC scholarships. To be eligible, cadets must meet the basic eligibility requirements as prescribed by the Naval Education and Training Command as well as providing a significant contribution to the Unit s leadership. Normally, cadets who are being considered for NROTC Scholarships must have a minimum SAT score of 530 Reading/520 Math or ACT score of 22 English/21 Math, a well-balanced student-activity profile, and be in the college track curriculum.

9. PERSONAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT: The basic concepts of the NJROTC Program require that all cadets develop and maintain a POSITIVE personal growth trend throughout his/her time as a member of the Unit of Cadets. Unlike other classes where the objectives are primarily to teach the specifics of the courses (such as math, history, science, etc.), the NJROTC Program is designed to help each individual cadet mature at a given rate for each year in the Unit. As a first-year cadet, he or she must learn the rules and regulations quickly and abide by them explicitly, show some degree of heightened loyalty as the year progresses, learn the principles of followership, and develop some realistic goals to achieve in the short-term (during the first year) and some achievable goals for the long term (during the second and third years). To show maturity, first-year cadets must want to learn military drill and courtesies quickly and to demonstrate them without being told to do so. As a second-year cadet, he or she is expected to begin taking on positions and jobs of higher responsibility, to try to learn the details and requirements of division officer jobs, and to be mindful that the first-year cadets are looking for role models to pattern themselves after. Second year cadets are expected to continue the maturity trend they established in their first year of the program. This maturity, combined with the development of leadership skills, will be required in their NS-3 and NS-4 years in the Unit. As an NS-4 cadet, he or she is expected to be ready for assignments to the highest jobs in the Unit (staff, department heads, platoon leaders, special team leaders); be able to "be with subordinates, yet apart"; be able to evaluate subordinates objectively; be able to separate friendships where necessary in the execution of his/her tasks; be able to generate spirit in his/her department/division/ platoon/special team. Fourth year cadets will be Leadership teachers and models for the younger cadets. Because of their experience, longevity in the Unit, and special trust invested in them, they will be expected to perform at a significantly higher level than other cadets. Fourth year cadets will be graded on their leadership performance and any academics or special assignments tasked by the Naval Science Instructor. All cadets should show signs of positive maturity regardless of his/her time in the Unit. For example, appropriate behavior (being serious or humorous when required by the situation); "taking charge" of situations and doing what is morally correct and appropriate at the time; not being influenced by peers of questionable character and intentions; and being able to blend easily in groups of older people and hold intelligent conversations.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS: BE AND ACT MATURE AND SEE HOW QUICKLY OTHER

PEOPLE BEGIN TO SHOW RESPECT FOR YOU. REMEMBER: RESPECT MUST BE EARNED. IT DOES NOT COME WITH JOB OR POSITION. GIVE RESPECT AND YOU WILL GET RESPECT. SHOW THAT YOU ARE A PERSON OF INTEGRITY AND CHARACTER AND YOU WILL GAIN RESPECT.

SECTION B

UNIT REGULATIONS AND POLICY

1. ACADEMIC ROUTINE: As NPHS is 45-minute schedule, each day you have Naval Science you may receive instructions in both academic and leadership which includes close order drill, ceremonial drill, Manual of Arms, the Sword and the Guidon drills, squad and platoon on the-job leadership training.

2. NJROTC SERVICE/ACTIVITY FEES: A one-time NJROTC Service Fee of$ 20.00 is collected from each new cadet entering the program for the first time. The fee is collected at the beginning of each school year annually. This service fee covers the expense of nametags, unit shirt and other required items. The fee is due by 01 October.

3. REOUIRED CADET FORMS: Each cadet is required to have several NJROTC, and Unit information forms filled out by him/her and signed by a parent or guardian. This is normally accomplished during the start of the school year. All required paperwork must be completed to remain in the program.

4. PLAN OF THE WEEK (POW): A Plan of the Week (for dissemination to each class on the Promethean/White Board) and will be prepared by the Executive Officer. The purpose of the POW is to keep each cadet informed on the schedules and activities of the Unit. Cadets are to show the POW notes to their parents/guardians as often as possible, particularly when there are many weekend activities planned and/or a schedule change(s) must be made. There is a link to the POW on the NPHS NJROTC website.

a. The POW will include all or some of the following information:

(1) Next uniform day and what uniform of the day is prescribed.

(2) Scheduled Unit/team meetings and practices.

(3) Upcoming events such as parades, competitions, field trips, at-sea cruises, Unit formations and social events.

(4) Money/paperwork deadlines.

(5) Congratulatory messages.

(6) Additional notices, as appropriate.

b. NOTE: Cadets will receive a quiz on the POW periodically though out the school year. It is the Cadets responsibility to know what is on the POW.

5. CADET RECORDS: The Administrative Department maintains a cadet record for each cadet enrolled which includes a performance record card listing advancements/promotions, awards earned, qualifications, and any correspondence pertaining to the individual cadet. Cadets may review their record with the Administrative Officer or Naval Science Instructor. It is the individual cadet's responsibility to ensure his/her record is up to date.

6. ORIENTATION TRIPS AND AT-SEA CRUISES: A cornerstone of the NJROTC Program is the opportunity to take trips to ships, stations, museums, etc. to supplement the information that has been taught in the classroom and to experience firsthand some of the various evolutions with hands-on training. Every effort will be made to ensure that each year group will participate in at least one field trip associated with some subject matter currently being covered during the school year. With each field trip, there is a vast amount of paperwork and preparation that must be completed prior to leaving on the trip. In addition to paying the required amount of money for transportation, meals, lodging, etc., IT IS IMPORTANT THAT EACH CADET MEETS THE DEADLINES FOR THE PAPERWORK AND THE COLLECTION OF MONEY. FAILURE TO KEEP UP WITH THE PAYMENT SCHEDULE/DEADLINES WILL RESULT IN THE CADET LOSING HIS/HER PRIORITY AND POSSIBLY A RESERVED SEAT AND/OR TICKET. Appearance is extremely important for field trips!! Since each cadet will be representing NORTH PORT High School and the NJROTC unit, it is imperative that he or she always maintains an outstanding appearance. There will be a personnel inspection before each trip. Each cadet must pass these inspections or be left behind. Of importance is the appearance of the haircuts and hairstyles!! These must be fully regulation; no other condition will be accepted for field trips. This is understandable when one considers that the Unit of Cadets will be seen by people for the first time, and the first impression is generally a lasting impression!! There is a set of rules and regulations for each cadet to follow on all field trips; these will be provided before each trip. Cadets will find that all field trips can be fun and educational, PROVIDING that all paperwork is in order, all money has been paid, uniforms and personal appearance are above reproach, directions are followed, and his/her conduct reflects maturity and pride in the school and the unit.

7. UNIT FUND RAISING PROJECTS: The NORTH PORT High School NJROTC unit has a large operating budget and needs extra funds annually to provide the items necessary to have a successful organization. The U.S. Navy does not provide the money to purchase these extra items; therefore, the unit must earn it. This is accomplished through fundraisers or service projects, such as assisting/hosting golf tournaments, product sales etc., which provide a profit based on total sales by the cadets.

8. APPEARANCE AND GROOMING STANDARDS: The wearing of the NJROTC uniform should be a matter of personal pride to all student-cadets enrolled in the NJROTC Program. Cadets, you represent the United States Navy and the Unit of Cadets of NORTH PORT High School. When in uniform, you are "SOMEONE SPECIAL," you will stand out in the crowd. This pride develops "Esprit de Corps" and a "top of the line" NJROTC unit. Appearance and grooming standards for the NORTH PORT High School Unit are listed in Chapter I in the Cadet Field Manual (see Section C of this Handbook for more information on the uniform).

9. GRADING CRITERIA: A cadet's NJROTC report card grade, unlike other classes, is an average of several factors (academics,' drill, leadership, followership, participation, appearance, attitude, physical fitness, self-discipline, and involvement in the activities of the Unit). Historically, those cadets who maintain a positive attitude toward the NJROTC Program and the rules of the Unit at NORTH PORT High School will receive a significantly higher grade than one who has a poor or negative attitude. If a cadet experiences a significant drop in his/her NJROTC grade, in all probability, attitude and not academics is the problem!! (He or she did not wear the uniform as required; did not come to class or event prepared; did not attend an event; etc.). Records have shown that cadets who have failed for the grading period invariably point to a drop or loss of attitude. The grade that appears on the cadet's report card is weighted in the following manner:

a. Test/Quiz/Review Grades (20%): Normally, each cadet will have an opportunity to receive an academic grade every week of the grading period.

b. Participation Grade (10%): Each activity is assigned a numerical value depending on the importance/status of the event; these values are added to a subjective classroom contribution grade for the final "participation grade. "

c. Program Aptitude/Employability Grade (20%): A program aptitude grade is assigned to each member of the platoon based on attitude, military bearing, military drill, military appearance, contributions to the platoon and the Unit, performance in assigned jobs, etc.

d. Physical Fitness Participation (10%): Cadets must dress out in the proper clothing and participate fully in the prescribed activities (as determined by the SNSI/NSI).

e. Uniform Grade (40%): Uniform wear is required once a week. Each cadet will be inspected and assigned a grade. If the cadet is absent on uniform day, he/she must wear it the next day they attend school. If the cadet fails to wear the uniform on the prescribed day, they may wear it on another day during that week for partial credit as determined by the instructors.

10. ENROLLMENT ENHANCEMENT (RECRUITING FOR THE UNIT): All of us know that having pride in an organization to which you belong, or work is the best compliment you can ever pay to that organization. Within this expression are all the qualities that will make your organization the best around. We also know that without people, we could not have an organization for which we could express our pride. To this end, each cadet in the Unit should try his/her hardest to enroll as many outstanding students as possible in the Unit. When talking with other students about the NJROTC Program at NORTH PORT High School, make sure you provide the prospective cadet with an honest and objective picture of what the program is all about, the benefits of the program for enlistment, scholarships, and appointments to one of the service academies, and the chance to belong to something all year long. You might want to mention the fact that you can take many trips, make many friends, and do numerous other things besides academics and classroom work. If your friend is interested in enrolling in the program at NORTH PORT High School, tell him or her to talk with one of the instructors or guidance counselors. Don't forget to tell your friend to mention your name on his/her application when enrolling in the NJROTC Program. Ribbons can be earned för recruiting as outlined in the Cadet Field Manual and this Handbook.

11. SPECIAL EVENTS: During the school year there are three events, which the Unit of cadets must participate in; these events have been scheduled in part by the United States Navy and by the unit in observance of some very important occasions. These functions are classified as "MANDATORY," which means that each cadet must be present for the full event. There are no excuses for missing these events. If the cadet is under a physician's care, he or she must produce a statement from the doctor on office letterhead stationery stating the full details and dates of treatment. The essential events are as follows:

a. Heron Creek Fundraising Golf Tournament.

b. Annual Military Inspection: Normally scheduled by the Navy during a school day.

c. Change of Command/Awards Ceremony: During school in April.

It is important that each cadet plan his/her personal schedule around these events. There is plenty of advanced notice (as much as six months), so there is no excuse for being absent.

12. ZONE INSPECTIONS: In order to have our NJROTC spaces looking shipshape and always squared away, we must have a formal system of inspecting our assigned spaces. Department heads will ensure that their spaces are always ready for inspections. The Executive Officer will conduct informal inspections of all departments at least once a week and will conduct a formal Zone Inspection once a month.

SECTION C

If a cadet should forget his/her cover, the cadet will place his/her left hand over his/her head during inspections or whenever outdoors.

SECTION D

UNIT ORGANIZATION

1. ORGANIZATION: The NORTH PORT High School Unit of Cadets is organized in the form of a shipboard/squadron structure with each class forming a "platoon" in the Unit.

2. RANK: This organization is established with various levels of responsibility; therefore, there are different levels of rank to man these organizational assignments based on demonstrated performance, enthusiasm, participation, positive attitude, and leadership example. The responsibilities of leadership must be accepted, and the challenges of the job met before the privileges of rank can be extended. Senior cadets normally fill the most senior positions in the Unit organization.

3. JOB DESCRIPTIONS: The job descriptions of the Staff and Executive Staff members in the Unit organization are as follows:

a. Commanding Officer (CO): the senior cadet of the Unit, responsible tor maintaining the morale and high standards of the Unit. Will be a graduate of Leadership Academy (waiverable by the SNSI/NSI only).

b. Executive Officer (XO): second in the chain of command, responsible for the daily routine and executing the policies of the Commanding Officer. Will be a graduate of Leadership Academy (waiverable by the SNSI/NSI only).

c. Command Chief/Senior Chief/Master Chief: senior enlisted member of the unit and as such has a direct voice to the Commanding Officer. Responsible for muster at all Unit formations.

d. Operations Officer (OPS): responsible for the training and performance of the Unit Special Teams and the Operations Department.

e. Administrative Officer (ADMIN Officer): responsible for all functions of the Administration Department: Admin. Division, Personnel Division, the Data Processing Division, and maintaining Unit files, cadet records and the preparation of mailing labels, Unit and platoon rosters, and Unit correspondence and certificates.

Supply Officer (SUPPO): responsible for the issuing, receiving, inventory, storage and accountability of all NJROTC uniforms, and accessories. Ensures that the Supply Room is maintained in a secure, neat and orderly manner always.

Public Affairs Officer (PAO). Supervises public affairs-like events to include photographic duties, news releases, and liaison with newspaper agencies.

h. Platoon Commanders/Leaders (PC/PLs): Platoon leadership is the essential link between most cadets in the Unit and the Unit staff in the chain-of-command. His/her responsibilities include: knowing assigned cadets of their platoon as individuals and keeping them informed of Unit business and activities; maintaining a platoon notebook, being meticulous in recording the required information on all members of their platoon; ensuring that platoon members have their NJROTC notebooks and textbooks prior to entering the classroom every day; following the daily/weekly training schedule; and striving for excellence in military drill, personal appearance, high morale and a competitive spirit in the inter-platoon competitions and inspections.

SECTION E

RULES OF CONDUCT AND PROCEDURES FOR NJROTC SPACES

1. GENERAL: The NJROTC Unit at NORTH PORT high School is fortunate to have a building that is large, comfortable, and accommodating (cadets will refer to the building as the "HOUSE"). We are always dedicated to keeping this building as clean as possible and ready to receive visitors at any time. Cadets and their guests are to follow the prescribed rules of conduct and related procedures while in THE HOUSE. Cadets are responsible for their guest's behavior.

a. Horseplay, fighting, and abusive language shall not be tolerated at any time. A relatively quiet atmosphere will always prevail.

b. Chewing gum is not permitted in The House.

c. When a VIP (Principal, Asst Principals, Military Personnel, Adult, etc.) enters the spaces, the cadet who sees the person first will call, "Attention on Deck" and offer to assist the person in any way possible.

d. Books, magazines, and reference library materials are always to remain in NJROTC spaces. Material and professional books may be checked out.

e. The chairs are for sitting only; do not put your feet on the tables or chairs. KEEP

ALL FOUR CHAIR LEGS ON THE DECK. TABLES ARE NOT SEATS, DO NOT SIT ON THEM.

f. Cadets are reminded to exercise "Senior Cadet'! responsibility when situations arise that require immediate direction. The Senior Cadet present should take charge of the situation; he/she will be held accountable!!

g. The CDO (as assigned) will ensure the NJROTC spaces are clean and orderly and ready to receive cadets and guests the first thing the next morning.

h. All bulletin boards, qualification charts and displays are the property of the Unit and are not to be tampered with, written on, or defaced in any manner.

i. Unless under arms, or participating in a personnel inspection, cadets will always uncover and remain uncovered while in NJROTC spaces. This rule applies to guests also.

j. Earphones/buds are not to be used or visible while in The House and NEVER while in uniform.

2. CLASSROOM: (also review annexes B & C)

a. A member of the platoon staff will ensure that each cadet in the platoon has his/her NJROTC notebook and textbook.

b. Just before entering the classroom, each cadet should take a quick glance at the notices on the main bulletin board. Generally, new information posted each day.

a. When entering the classroom, the first task is to review the Plan of the Week (POW). Take individual notes as needed to ensure you know what events are being planned for the upcoming week and future.

b. When the instructor enters the classroom, the first cadet to see him will call, "Attention on Deck." All cadets will snap to attention and look straight ahead until the instructor calls, "Seats", "At Ease" or "Carry On." Specific information on class muster (roll) reports will be provided to the platoon.

c. During class, each cadet will pay strict attention to what is being said and by whom. Respect the person who is speaking at the time regardless of whom it is (instructor or cadet).

d. Raise your hand to speak or ask questions. Ensure that the comment or question relates directly to the topic or issue being discussed.

e. Do not move around the classroom unless specifically cleared to do so by the instructor (or platoon leader in his absence). Classroom time will not normally be used to make trips to Supply, Armory, or Admin.

Platoon/Unit business will take place during the start of the block and class will terminate when the platoon leader or Naval Science Instructor says "Dismissed" at which time the cadets are to sound off "Sir/Ma'am Aye Aye Sir/Ma'am."

g. In the absence of the instructors, all cadets will respond directly to the orders of the cadet who has been appointed to act on behalf of the instructors. Generally, this will be the platoon leader or a member of his/her staff.

h. Do not place book bags on the table.

i. Water (in clear bottle) is the ONLY beverage allowed in the classroom.

3. INSTRUCTORS' OFFICE: This is reserved strictly for the instructors. Any traffic in this area will be limited to those cadets who have business with the instructors concerning their health and welfare. REMEMBER: Cadets are to use the Chain-of Command, and all means available (such as the platoon leader, platoon staff, the CEA of the Unit, etc.) to solve the problem before coming to the instructors. When the door to the Naval Science Instructor's office is closed, only emergencies will be heard. When the door is open, the cadet will knock three times on the door and wait at "Parade Rest" facing the front door. When the instructor says, "COME IN," the cadet will enter and proceed directly in front of the desk of the instructor with whom he/she wishes to talk. State your business quickly and intelligently. If the instructor tells the cadet that, "you have come to the wrong person," this is a subtle reminder that the cadet did not use the Chain-of-command properly. Probably, the cadet could have solved the problem through the platoon leadership.

4. SUPPLY ROOM: This is a limited entry area and is strictly for supply business!! Unless cadets are turning in or checking out uniforms and accessories, stay clear of the area. Cadets do need to knock on the door if it is closed, as there are periods of time when males are being fitted out and females are not permitted in the room, and vice versa. Specific rules will be posted in the Supply Room. The Supply room is off limits to all cadets except as authorized by the SNSI/NSI or those instructed by the Supply Officer.

5. ARMORY: The Armory is for storing tools, rifles, swords, cleaning equipment parts, and supplies. It is strictly reserved for those cadets who have been cleared to work in the area, thus making it a limited-entry area. Cadets not authorized to be in the space will conduct their business at the door. Also, there are to be no more than three people allowed in Armory at any given time.

6. READY SUPPLY: This is a limited entry area and only those members Authorized by CO & XO (and the Supply Officer) are permitted in this space. All other cadets will always remain clear of this area. If a cadet who is not on the Executive Staff is invited to the space, he/she will knock on the door and request permission to enter. Conduct business quickly, quietly, and leave! Ready supply door will remain open when occupied. The Ready Supply room is not a hangout area.

SECTION F

DISCIPLINE - RULES AND REGULATIONS

1. GENERAL:

a. Each NJROTC unit has its own rules and regulations to support the disciplinary system of this unique program.

b. Discipline in the NJROTC Program is somewhat different from the regular classroom disciplinary system. It is based on the special goals of the Program.

c. One of the special features of the NJROTC Program is the leadership training that permits upper-class (Junior and Senior) cadets to train new cadets.

d. The NJROTC Program is based on disciplined adherence to rules and regulations and cannot permit a student-cadet to "do his/her own thing." If this were allowed, there would be disorder and inefficiency. In short, the Program would not be effective.

f. Discipline is intended to be instructive to help cadets understand the rules. Generally, warnings are given to help discipline new cadets. If a cadet corrects the problem as suggested by the warning, the incident is over.

g. All offenses DO NOT warrant warnings!! Lying, cheating, stealing, etc. will be handled in accordance with the school discipline policy.

h. Infractions which result in warnings are serious business!! They signal the beginning or continuance of a trend that may result in a cadet being placed on probation or perhaps in dismissal from the Unit.

2. MINOR UNIFORM AND CONDUCT INFRACTIONS: Warnings, and work details may be given for the following:

a. Uniform violations

b. Unsatisfactory personal appearances.

c. Failure to bring the NJROTC notebook and/or textbook to class.

d. Failure to meet obligations on time.

e. Chewing gum in The House, in formation, in uniform at any time, or during class periods.

f. Not having homework in on time.

g. Showing outward expressions of affection while in uniform or in The House.

h. Disrespect to a cadet-officer or CPO.

i. Expressions of disloyalty.

j. Disruptive conduct in class or on the drill field.

k. Tardiness to class.

l. Leaving gear adrift.

m. Missing movement ("no show") for in-town trips.

n. No show for events you've signed up for.

3. MAJOR CONDUCT INFRACTIONS: A cadet may be referred to School Administration with a recommendation for ISS WITHOUT WARNING for the following:

a. Disrespect to teachers, administrative staff, and school staff.

b. Smoking/Vaping, fighting, defacing government or school property.

c. Repeated MINOR (See paragraph 2 of this section) offenses.

d. Missing movement ("no shows") for out-of-town trips.

e. Profanity (in or out of uniform).

f. Lying, cheating, or stealing.

4. GENERAL DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS:

a. Work details: Work details may be given by NSI's for violation of minor or major infractions. Cadets having a work detail will be required to perform work chosen by the NSI.

b. Probation: Cadets placed on probation will be informed by a formal letter that he/she is in danger of being disenrolled.

c. ISS: Cadets serving ISS will report to the ISS Room in accordance with school policy. If the ISS is assigned on a uniform day, the cadet will NOT wear the uniform on that day but will wear it on the next regular school day when the cadet is back in class. Failure to do so will result in a zero being assigned in the grade book. Cadets are reminded that receiving ISS(s) is a warning that their conduct is not as expected in the NJROTC Program and steps should be taken to correct the problem(s) as soon as possible. Reminder: Cadets who have received ISS(s) are not eligible for the Exemplary Conduct Ribbon.

SECTION G

INDIVIDUAL CADET AWARDS AND RECOGNITION

1. SPECIALIZED RIBBONS: In addition to the criteria for NJROTC ribbons listed in the Cadet Field Manual, additional criteria have been established by NORTH PORT High School for the following NJROTC ribbons:

a.

In all cases, the service provided will be without compensation, and the NSIs will have the final decision as to the legitimacy of the service.

b. Unit Service Ribbon: Will be awarded to any cadet who provides exemplary service to the unit on a one-time basis in situations where another NJROTC ribbon cannot be awarded. Such service will be "above & beyond" required of a cadet in his/her performance, dedication to the unit and be strictly voluntary.

NJROTC is unlike any other course offered at North Port High School. As a cadet you will be responsible for your conduct and appearance both in class and at any time you represent the NJROTC program. Cadets are expected to respect themselves, their NJROTC unit, their school and the United States as demonstrated by their words and actions. Cadets are expected to wear their uniform with dignity and pride and are expected to groom to military standards as set forth in their Cadet Reference Manual and Field Manual. Additionally, cadets are expected to obey lawful orders given by the Naval Science Instructors and cadets with positional authority.

We (cadet and parent/guardian) agree to the following:

I accept full responsibility for uniform and government materials issued to me. If lost or willfully damaged, I agree to reimburse the NJROTC unit.

I agree to groom to military standards as prescribed in the Cadet Reference and Field Manual and amplified by the North Port NJROTC Cadet Handbook (i.e., piercings, jewelry, haircuts, hair color etc.)

I agree to wear my uniform for weekly personnel inspections on the designated day and for any unit function where the uniform is prescribed. Wearing the uniform for personnel inspections requires that the uniform be worn from the time the cadet leaves home for school until he/she returns home from school. Uniforms may be removed temporarily to dress out for physical education or when safety is an issue such as in a science or shop class.

I agree to accept and carry out lawful orders given to me by the NJROTC instructors and cadets who have positional authority over me.

I agree to abide by the Naval Science classroom expectations as well as the program regulations spelled out in the North Port NJROTC Cadet Handbook.

I agree to never willfully do or say anything that brings discredit to the NJROTC unit, the school or the U.S. Navy.

I understand that in order to participate in the program, I must be able to participate in my high school's P.E. program as well as submit a completed FI-ISL Sports Physical Examination form.

I understand that if I fail to comply with any of the above agreements, I am subject to removal from the NJROTC program. I further understand that removal from the program after the official "drop-add" date will result in a full year failure of the NJROTC COURSE

I have read and understand my obligations as an NJROTC cadet.
