What is JROTC? Should you join?

- In middle school, I had no real idea what I was signing up for. My Dad just recommended it, so I signed up for it. It turned out to be one of the most life changing programs I had ever been in. For without it, I wouldn't have joined the Air Force, I wouldn't have half of the skills, friends, or experiences that I do today, and I probably wouldn't have this UA-cam channel. Anyways, I would suggest it to anyone looking to better themselves or earn another post-high school option to their list.
I left middle school and went to a completely different high school than my friends. Since I have mega social issues and I’m super shy, I kept my head down and stayed to myself my ninth grade year. The teachers and counselors were worried about me, but there was nothing to be worried about. I just didn’t want to be there.
Eventually I got tired of not talking or sitting with anyone at lunch, so, I decided I needed a friend. I found a guy who was super nice to me and he was in the jrotc at our school. So he was the one who convinced me to join, and honestly? It was the best thing to happen. My tenth grade year so far is the best ever. I have made so many friends and my confidence and grades are up. Everyone is just amazing! I went to a mini camp back in November and became a C/captain over public affairs. And this summer I’m going to the big summer leadership school so I can be more than a captain and move up in rank (my goal is to be a flight commander and inspire others like my outstanding AS1 flight commander did.).
I love this program and all the people in it. They changed my life for the better and filled that gap I was missing in my life. 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
TheGoldenArcanine Nice!
Fantastic!🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
👏👏👏👏am shy always I joined 3 days ago
Im pretty shy too unless someone gets to know me.. Also i'm new in a big city and whole new place from what i'm used to.. I looked at this video since my mom forced me to and i start tomorrow
We are so proud of you!!
i'm currently in 8th grade and definitely going to join JROTC.
Livimations don't
Livimations Good for you!
Good luck
The Reaper2445 That's awesome! Are you enjoying it?
Livimations yeah haha I'm in JROTC as well
Its funny because when I was in high school I was part of the basketball varsity which included being exempted for PE and our "Mandatory" JROTC.. This was in a different country. Now I'm in the military as well... life

Miguel Guzman ur late
ARCHIE WHAT. 68w for the win. You def helped inspire me to enlist as a medic.
I am in Army JROTC. It was one of the best decision of my life. I am the battalion commander for my school. I am a Cadet Lieutenant Colonel and I've learned alot of life skills and knowledge. I would recommend this program to anyone who is interested. I am currently a senior and a DEP in the United States Air Force. Can not wait to ship and become an Airmen!
I'm a C/SMSgt in the AFJROTC program
I am a C/PLT in Sophomore year and I am in High School right now and we wear are class A and class B uniform every Wednesday
This is probably going to get lost in the comments but whatever.
I remember 3 years ago, young 14 year old me just about to be a freshman in high school, I signed up for JROTC not knowing anything about the military. I remember watching this video and this video was very helpful.
I am a Senior at high school, Class of 2020, and about to be a 4th year in this program.
Niceeee. Its my first year of MCROTC and I'm planing to do all four years plus another four in collage. Good luck in the military dude!
Yeah I'm in 8th grade so I'm definitely going to do it edit: a year later I'm in JROTC and might I say its quite lovely but Also equally hard
love방탄 me too!
Same
regret your decision yet?
3 months later i’m back, jrotc is so much fun but it gets irritating sometimes :(. a lot of opportunities and service hours though that’s for sure
Same here bud! I may join air force (we have all branches at my school)
I'm in jrotc it is amazing it will build confidence make you stronger and make you a better leader
i am in the air force JROTC its one of the best decisions I've ever made my instructors have been amazing this program has allowed me to build my self up JROTC is worth taking
My son is a freshman in MCJROTC and likes it so far.
Me too, it's really cool
Dawn Santo Lucky.. I wanted MCJROTC! That's cool though!
Dawn Santo what's MC Rotc?
Marine Corps
Dawn Santo congrats
I am currently in my 2nd year of AFJROTC and I enjoy it a lot. My dad influenced me to join from all of his fun stories and the great friendships he made, and I too have built friendships with others in the program. I have grown in self-confidence, self-esteem, and many more traits that help you pursue life goals and dreams. I also would highly encourage any middle school students to join when you get to high school.
I am currently in my school's AF-JROTC. This video could not have been anymore dead on! I am a Jr. now and am more than likely joining the Airforce when i graduate thank you very much for your videos!
do they have JROTC Marines
+PINKY IS NEW GREEN Yeah. My school does and I'm totally gonna join.
Lol this is so late but thanks I found out the high school in going has MARJROTC but thanks man
Is it alot of physical activities
I watched this video 4 years ago and said I'm definitely going to Join the Jrotc program. Can't believe, I am now an Official Cadet Sstg of AfJrotc and Part of the Sabre team. This guy inspired me. Thanks!
Way to go!!!
I'm a senior in AFJROTC, I've been in it sense freshman year and am on Rifle Team, I'm gonna miss it
*since
Is it helpful for physical training and stuff like that?
Future freshmen MCJROTC cadet/Marine!
Same here
I'm AFJROTC
Adolf Hipster Same
I'm doing air force jrotc
My school only have Army JROTC.
Sadly, joined too late in the game. However, I feel that it will help with my overall life and will help with bootcamp.
what year did you join
I wish I could rewind back time and join. I'm 26 now. I never knew about it in highschool. I was the person who just wanted to get high school done with and leave. I joined 2 clubs, but I wished I did more like JROTC. i always encourage the kids to make high school fun. Go to games, join clubs, do things that will make it really memorable because you will regret it like I did. My high school days sucked and I wish I could rewind time and do it all over again. I'd definitely join JROTC. My school didn't really tell you about it either. I wished they brought up the different clubs or things you could do around high school and not just going to class. I wish they told us about JROTC and what it is. But all in all, I encourage every upcoming high schoolers to make it memorable even if you hate the school.
I’m gonna be joining JROTC this school year, so I’ve been looking at videos and such to see what it’s like. I know for a fact that I’m definitely not gonna be able to keep up with the physical training but believe me when I try, I try. So in truth the thing I’m most afraid about joining it is that others will judge me for not being on the same level as them physically like when I was in athletics.
did u enjoy it? lol
Thanks so much! I'm an eighth grader about to start freshman year and I am so excited for JROTC!!
I love NJROTC in PCTI, it's so amazing to be in this program. And in my school, once you join the program, it replaces gym. As a freshman, I joined late September, because we got to see a presentation in gym. I was very quiet and my freshman year, I just wanted to know the program. Along the way, I received a few ribbons and was promoted to a Seamen (E-3). Then just last year as a sophomore, I wanted to become more involved in the program, so I joined the drill team, where I made so many friends and was in the PT and Academic team. We won many first place along the way. I also did many community service events. When I was assigned as a platoon commander, I was promoted to a Ensign (O-1). Then I knew, I improved so such as a cadet and a person. I also tried out for Area 4 Leadership Academy, but I didn't make it on the final cut. I was a little bit upset, but that made me motivated than ever. Now this summer, I am doing Basic Leadership Academy as an incoming junior and I am the PT Assistant officer and also looking to be the Company Commander (O-3). I am so excited for this upcoming year!!!
I am quitting band and doing this! this is an amazing experience and i do plan on joining the Army so this will help me and also give me a higher rank when joining so that will help also! Thank you for opening my eyes!
Thanks for this i start jrotc in two weeks and this helps a lot since I was concerned a bit since I was going into in my freshman year this coming school year
Same.
Best experience of your life so far Cadet Colonel! But I'm sure you have many, many more great ones ahead. I enjoyed my days as a JROTC cadet as well. Thanks for posting a great video!
Does it matter about being fit for this stuff, because i'm doing it this year and I feel like i'm not strong or tall enough but I really want to do this.
I'm Nervous about that too!!
I'm stupid but I’m in jrotc I’m a sophomore not really athletic and you’ll do fine if they see you trying you should be good
There is a PT component to it, but it's graded on effort, not on ability, so as long as you try to do everything, you should be good.
I’m a chubby kid but it’s actually easy. Plus I’m an athlete so it’s easier for myself.
@@BigPapiGrizzlyy Hi man I'm doing well. I love rotc community. This message is a year old to btw😂
My freshman high school year starts in a couple days and I’ve been put into JROTC, this helps a lot with information and keeping me from chickening out, thanks man.
I came here cuz memes...

I am in Let 1 for JROTC this year because it is a fun program for JROTC and I enjoy it as much and I love have fun with my JROTC friends
Cool it's my first year
Mr. F same
I love how you explain everything!!!!! I am jrotc too and it's really fun so that's good you didn't forgot to mention about fun!
Thank you so much for the information. You are a wonderfully spoken, bright and handsome young man. Best of luck to you!
I just had my first day of jrotc 9th grade
Impressive video.. You are one sharp kid. Best of luck to you in the AF. Was just taking a look at this for my son for high school 9th grade.
Corps as in "corpse"? It's pronounced exactly like the word "core".
Hey it's corps not corpse 😁
Its Corps... but pronounced core....the Marine Corps is pronounced the
Marine Core
Went into LOTC in middle school and hated it. That’s why I didn’t do JROTC for Highschool. Watching this video makes me excited to join (if my counselor can change my schedule). Thank you!
I have NJROTC :-)
SEAMEN! jk air force loves ya navy
+William Murray (Ch)Air force don't ya mean ya POG
This helped me a lot! I'm in 8th grade and being able to see what different kinds of fun we get to do in JROTC made me feel excited. I've decided to do JROTC and again I appreciate this information you gave me.
My school doesn't have this program..but I want to get involved in it to see if the military is for me. Is there any way I could take this course at a different school? Is that common?
Ali Kingery It's indeed common, find a school nearby that has JROTC. You'll be out of district and it happens all the time. The one requirement is that you keep up your grades. If your GPA falls down to around 2.0 or something, you would get removed from the program and sent back to your district school.
there is aanother way, you can do something similar to it. Its called Civil Air Patrol
I did young marines for a few years
Jrotc is the best thing you could ever do I’m telling you. Having someone to look up to build my confidence and kept me disciplined from doing stupid stuff.
Oh my god I can't wait to just join already.
AAAAA
I am an 8th grader and I am Nervous...how is it?
Thank you for this video!! I'm in 8th grade right now and I've been considering this opportunity. Now I know I really want to do this.
It was my first day of 10th grade and I’m taking rotc it’s fun
Love the #uniform aspect!
My freshman son just joined #JROTC and #Football.🥁🎼🥁🎼🥁🎼
I'm in AFJROTC Unit TN-792 and I this is my 2nd year and it is amazing
Airman Basic here.
Freshman and in all honesty, I thought I would hate rotc and I dreaded for summer to end, but on the first day I was ready and having so much fun, my chief and colonel were so nice and fun, same with my flight sergeant and commander.
If your watching this, DO ROTC IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY
@WildBlueYonder I'm going in my freshman year in August of 2019 and our jrotc is army but I want to join the navy as of now what do I do. Pls help
Just join. It'll give you the experience of military life. Although it'll be confusing at first when joining the Air Force, you will rank up when out of boot camp
Sometimes the magic of friendship happens, and sometimes it doesn’t.
For example, let’s say in college you join a kayaking club. You get a couple of cool outings a semester, but with a number of weeks between each one, it’s not really often enough to get any kind of social traction going.
Often in college, it’s the officers of a club or organization who become friends. It has to be something you genuinely want to put the hours into.
My advice to young people is to respectfully visit a number of clubs. Any reputable group will be fine with you visiting two or three times. And you can see if it’s the type of thing you want to devout more hours to.
One tricky part about your first semester of college is that you want to get on top of your class load, and you’re probably still fine-tuning your study methods. But also, that first part of the academic year is when people are most open to meeting new people.
I wish you all the best as a young adult! 🚴🏾♂️ 🎸 🎶 👩🏻🔬
could I enroll to jrotc at a different school if I'm home schooled
James Honaker No
No
Some schools allow cross-town affiliations, but talk to the school first.
Thank you so much for this video, I'm going into high school in two weeks or something and I found this video and I feel more relaxed and JROTC doesn't sound that bad! Thanks for the helpful video!
Future Freshmen AJROTC Cadet
Nice I'm an NJROTC cadet
DaltonFilmsHD Nice MCJROTC CADET
Same
IF you are joining JROTC/ROTC make sure your 100% committed. JROTC/ROTC is something that requires dedication, integrity, as well as self and general respect. This is advice from somebody taking the class as of 2021
Will JROTC help me get into the Air Force Band?
Thank you so much for this! I will be a freshman in the upcoming school year and I was deciding whether or not to join JROTC and this video have helped me into doing so!
Can girls do JROTC? I'm going into High School next year and I'm thinking about joining. I also want to join the Coast Guard after High School, too.
Awesome!
Maia Adolphs Jrotc isn't a gender based program I've doing Jrotc for two years and I honestly love it
Maia Adolphs. Of course
Raylaya Albert me too
I have been in JROTC for 2 years now and honestly it’s amazing.
im in army jrotc and i want to go in the air force will it still count for the e-3 promotion
yes it will still count
No but you can get E-2 in any other branch.
Yes it will.
Brendan Joseph You get E-3 in the Airforce for doing ANY branch of JROTC for at least 3 years. Google it.
I was in AFJROTC in high school and I graduated as a Cadet LtCol. I was color guard commander....I loved it..... and then join the Air Force as an A1C (E3) that is two stripesit was the best decision of my life
My school kcms has jrotc in 8 grade I done was gonna join because I wanted to join the military and I’m joining
I watched this as an eighth grader and am now watching this having now done AFJROTC for ~ 3 months. By FAR one of the best choices ive made. If you are willing to join and put in even a little effort to rotc your highschool experience is going to be so much better. If you're thinking about it and having any questions id gladly answer them just comment below
My dad is forcing me to go i don't want to then i watched this and i still dont what to do it
Ha well good luck
Same as my mom
Its ass but good luck bud
Just talk about how badass it is and impress people
Thank you so much for making this because its convinced me to join JROTC. Im going to be a freshman next year and i really could use the discipline that this provides.
I'm in army Jrotc it's crap we don't learn anything.
depends on the school
Try Civil Air Patrol :)
+UniformWarrior Yeah!
+UniformWarrior I'm in cap hell yeah
Guess that course isn't for you then, maybe you should drop out. They could have accepted someone who was more appreciative of the course rather than spoiled on it. They accepted you while turning away other possible cadets. Be grateful.
I'm starting NJROTC at my high school in a few days. I'm very excited, yet extremely worried. This video helps me feel a lot better! Thank you.
Hey I have a question.. Do they make u work out alot in jrotc?
@@AntdaGreat In my unit we have 1 PT day a week. Sometimes we have more, but pretty rarely. We don't work out A LOT but depending on your strengths and weaknesses in working out it'll feel like a lot.
whats his job in the military?
He's Aircrew Egress Systems
+Autumn Hayes Aircrew Egress Systems
+CoCo F Like an ejection seat or whatever.
+Mick Failure yes that's exactly it. he makes sure they are functioning properly
I’ve been in jrotc since I was a freshman and now am a junior almost a senior and jrotc has really helped me decide that I want to go to the airforce and help of your videos now I know what to expect thanks so much totally recommend jrotc for anyone it’s been great
All of the weird/ nerdy kids in my school are in JROTC lol
jay clearly you need some discipline. Go join the ROTC. They’re not just nerds.
@@netherhaileygaming4631 oh nah
did anyone ask
NetherHaileyGaming ew, you are exactly why I would never join JROTC.
@@arturintete2461 My guy up there is a bit saltly lol. As a representative of jrotc, he is not part of us. We pass him to PE.
if anyone is thinking of this i 100% percent believe you should im ending my first year of afjrotc i enjoyed it and i believe it teaches you stuff you actually use once you get out i love it if your thinking of joining do it i to believe its the best decision i've made in my life as well.
Now can you join multiple teams? That's my question. I'm a freshman joining JROTC in September and really excited lol😁😁
I just got in high school aswell but my school starts early the teacher is a retired Lt.Colenel and it's great btw there is a lot of yelling.
+Gar Vadum noice
+Adolf Hipster Haha, Great Name 😂
I got promoted to the first rank lol
yeah, my sister us in both color guard and cyberpatriot.
C.A.P. is also an excellent program to join. If you have a well put together and well lead squadron you can lead and take charge, gain much more responsibility and even SAVE LIVES. You can't get all of that from JROTC. That is just the way I am seeing it after 2 very active years in CAP and 2 very active years in JROTC.
what if I wanted to join on 9th grade but couldn't and applied for 10 grade will it affect anything??
+poseidonseagod 1 You can still apply at any point in your high school career! And as long as you have 3+ years, you can still get a full A1C promotion as you enlist in the Air Force
+WildBlueYonder thank you for answering my question :)
+WildBlueYonder what will happen if I do jrotc and go to collage and join the air force as a doc
I am a freshman and I am in Jrotc and it’s fun to be in and ever since I joined I have changed
So, I'm joining NJROTC next year, I heard that most cadets are really rude to anyone who isn't straight. I'm a lesbian. Will I be bullied?
ROTC is like a big family, no one is going to bully or hurt you, the most that will happen is people getting on your case during inspection, but that's like the only time. Plus, if bullying does occur, then you should most definitely talk with you Instructors, and get it resolved. Don't let things get in the way of your ROTC career, I'm a junior, my 3rd year in ROTC, and I already have Scholarships lined up, waiting for me to chose, all because of ROTC. MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Being Honest it's gonna be hard as hell. I'm Pansexual and I still joined. There will be assholes but don't let them stop you. Hazing in JROTC for the most part is gone, but if anything does happens follow the chain of command. -Stefano 15M/Pansexual/Let1
Being from Hawaiii, I had no idea what jrotc was. It wasn't until I joined Army jrotc and Marine jrotc in Texas; where I live now. Because both my father and Grandfather were in the Army National Guard and Navy, that was influence enough.
I was placed in Special Education in Hawaii,; and I wasn't the brightest tool in the shed. I was buried in the 5th grade, and I have some medical mysteries. I graduated HS in May of this year, and I left on a positive note, as a MCJROTC Staff Sargent; with a total of 7 ribbons and 2 medals. ( I actually was able to jump a rank from Cadet Lance Corpral to Sargent because of being in Army Jrotc)
Came here from all the memes
gotta mention that if you do get into jrotc you really have to get stuck in to have fun, the more you do the better your experience
Hey I'm in JROTC. I'm a captain in Army JROTC. And it's worth my time and you learn a lot from it. You learn everything he said in this video. So if you are in middle school take this program. It's very useful.
Alpha_Male #1 I want to enter ROTC but my high school does not have ROTC. what should I do to enter. help please.
Milagro Solano well where do u go?
Alpha_Male #1 I going to Garfield high school New Jersey
Milagro Solano well I'm not really sure. But is there schools in new Jersey that have JROTC?
Alpha_Male #1 Yes There are some high school has the ROTC But My high school doesn't what do I should to do?
I’ve done Jrotc for two years. I started out at an army school and then transferred to an Air Force Rotc program and am now a technical Sargent. And am sometimes a flight commander.
I’m now in my third year of Jrotc and am a second lieutenant. I am also a vice wing commander. I work closely with our wing commander to ensure our corps runs smoothly and without any issues.
That is so true that it's not for everybody but I hate it but honestly if I could be in it I would be in it for for all four years because it pushes me to the Limit it shows me that I can go farther than what I've ever done before and I love it
I’m doing jrotc this year and I’m excited!!!!!! Thank you for informing me about it! It made me want to be in the class even more
I can’t wait for JROTC I’m so excited I’ve been waiting for 9 years I’m 14
You're a great role model. Well done!
Thank you for this video!!! I watched with my 6th grader and 2 middle schoolers.
I did AJROTC, graduated a year early, and am about to ship out in just a little over two weeks!!! Go AF!
+Jacob Edwards Same. Shipping out May 24th!
Yes ! Join the JROTC you will not regret it.
My boyfriend is in JROTC at his high school and he loves it, only 2 high schools in our city have it, I wasn’t going to any of those high schools, but I got in contact with the counselors at the high school I’m going to and the one my boyfriend is at and they said they’d send me a bus for my 5th period to get there, however after jrotc ends, I need my own way of getting home (I already have a plan) and he said he respected the way I talked and asked things, so he said if I put it down as my PE class, he’ll accept me in right away!
Next year, I’m going to be in 8th grade. I’m definitely joining JROTC :)
I’m in AFJROTC and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m enlisting in the Army next year. I love it so much
Should I join marine jrotc idk if I should
Always appreciate your videos. I wish you could have uploaded this video a few years back, though. I might have decided to join JROTC instead of going through the normal high school classes...Regardless, I'll be joining the Air Force in a year, after high school, and I appreciate all the videos and snapchats you post--they mean a lot. Thank you so much, man.
I’m joining JROTC for my freshman year. ( I just graduated from middle school)
This video really helped me with my questions, thanks!
As the Group commander at NC-20063 AFJROTC, I will definitely show this video to the future cadets
my school doesnt have a jrotc but thus girl who just moved here a month ago is starting one and she has all the paperwork and today was the first day of jrotc(its not official until next semester) we dont have a classroom and no textbooks and there is only like 10 people in all we did take a test on our personality and the way we think today and we did drills but nothing like what wad mentioned...i love it so far and i cant wait to go to the airforce!!
I am now a junior cadet in the TWHS AFJROTC and beginning to take on survival skills and my flight won the Outstanding Flight Award in sophomore year. it keeps getting better and better
This has been my 2nd year in AFJROTC (I first joined as a Sophomore in high school) and I have a staff position of being Deputy Logistics Commander, I just found out this past Wednesday that I will be the 2016-2017 Group Corps Commander! I am super exited for what's to come next school year!
I've seen people who treat it like real military stuff, and act entitled about it. From the perspective of a Canadian, my friends held alot of respect for them, thinking it was actual military, but when I told them it's pretty much Army Cadets, (the Canadian version which also isn't actual military) they pretty much just told them not to act so entitled.
I was the Battalion CC of my Army JROTC program we did parades, community service, summer camp, and good structure too. We didn't learn stuff unless they realized you cared. I also ended my JROTC career as the Cadet Colonel which is the highest rank to be held by a cadet.
I joined JROTC. My dad wanted to be a marine but couldn’t cause he had flat feet but my brother is in Virginia! He’s a marine! Today was my first day (I’m a freshman) and I got praised(told good job)for standing in attention while asking my Major a question. It’s not that cool but no one else was standing while talking to him sooo I felt kinda happy.
Just finished my first year in MCJrotc, by far the best decision I've made to join.
Cadet major here in AFJROTC from SC932. after this year I'll have 6 credits in it. I've loved every moment and definitely recommend it. (side note, if you join a branch other than USAF like i did, you'll only get e2 not e3. but that's ok. the first ranks come fast)
+RUNANDGUN87 watch out everyone... cadet major lol
+Wheat Thinz lol. yea I know it doesn't mean a whole lot. but hey, it's been fun. It made the hell that has been high school a lot more tolerable.
I want to be a Marine really bad but im still too young right now so i think joining the JROTC will be good for me
Never did a day of JROTC in my life. Just joined the Army after not knowing what to do in college. So yeah don't know what it's like, but hope you guys enjoy that shit!
It really depends on the people who are in // run the program. The ns4's (seniors) pretty much run it. I would recommend meeting them and talking to them about it and or go to kickstart before the school year starts if they have one. Military wise, I would strongly recommend it. You learn how to drill, basic fundamentals, ranks, and get a head start if you ENLIST. Joining The NJROTC program At highland high school was the best choice of my high school career.
I am in JROTC and love it so far in 9th grade and have the best time in the class. I would say the only hard thing is that the uniform is different when you first were it and the pt gets hard but I would give JROTC a solid 8.7-10! Now I am only in quarter 2 so I still have a lot left 😅. Sub to his channel.💪🤣
I'm in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. I go to Berkeley High School. This video was helpful. I'm thinking about going JROTC next semester👏😊
