Why Students Dont Join JROTC

• 1. I dont want to join the military.
• JROTC IS NOT a recruiting station. The
  mission of the program is to motivate young
  people to become better citizens. The purpose of
  the program is to instill the values of
  citizenship, service to community, personal
  responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment.
  JROTC students are the leaders of tomorrow.
  Students are taught the importance of a high
  school diploma and further education for a
  successful future. JROTC teaches life skills,
  career opportunities, writing resumes, and
  preparation for job interviews.

Why Students Dont Join JROTC

• For those who do aspire to join the military, the
  JROTC experience will provide many advantages.
  The program can help student leaders join the
  military branch of their choice at a higher rank
  and up to a 300 monthly pay increase for the
  duration of their enlistment. JROTC can provide
  all the physical conditioning and skills
  necessary to ease the cadets through their boot
  camp or basic training experience. The Knight
  Battalion has traditionally assisted Upson-Lees
  students in various military academy
  appointments.

Why Students Dont Join JROTC

• 2. I dont want to wear the uniform.
• In reality the uniform is worn less than one
  day a week and some of those days the NJROTC
  T-shirts and slacks are worn. The uniform is yet
  another way for JROTC to impart responsibility,
  teamwork, organization, and discipline. It is a
  means for the Cadet Battalion to show their
  self-confidence and pride in the display of their
  well earned medals, ribbons and rank. The uniform
  is worn to impart pride and self-confidence,
  teach responsibility and teamwork. There is no
  charge to the student for the use of the uniform
  or other military equipment. Yes, you will stand
  out in your uniform, but so will your confident
  attitude, rank and leadership abilities.

Why Students Dont Join JROTC

• 3. I dont have time.
• The Knight Battalion has always included
  Upson-Lees honor students who are also officers
  and leaders in our program. They are active
  members in numerous other Upson-Lees
  extracurricular activities such as class
  officers, student council, football,
  cheerleading, marching band, drama, and various
  other sports teams. Unlike some school
  activities, JROTC works around their other
  commitments because we know the importance of
  students being well rounded and involved. JROTC
  extracurricular activities are not required for
  the grade, but it is only fair that cadet
  participation in these activities helps them earn
  their medals, ribbons and rank.
