Cloth ranks do not belong on the Class A jacket. Ask your instructor for brass ranks. The cloth ranks are to be worn on the grey shirt to indicate rank if your jacket is taken off
Sir I'm a Military Academy Cadet and I use Qtips to property prepare my buttons on my jacket.I also use a tailor ruler to make sure all tags and pins are properly positioned. Excellent video Sir and easy to follow and helpful. Sir I wished I researched videos like this when I first entered my School it would have saved Me a few smoke sessions.. Sir everything needs to be impeccable don't BS
@@CamJam312 Thank You very much Sir. I'm a Cadet Major in my Junior Year. Looking at West Point or Harvard I carry a 3.8 GPA with all AP Courses. FUMA has prepared me well. Aldo VMI.
Hey good job! But we were told that arcs needed to be centered and 1/8 of an inch apart. But you look good! Keep up your good work, the amount of awards you have now compared to your first video is amazing!!!
CamJam 312 that’s so amazing!!!!! You can do it though, that’s why you have the people below you to make sure your cadets and battalion are in line. You seem like a good, devoted Cadet congratulations!!!
If you really want to stack up on ribbons, volunteer for whatever you can. I'm not sure how things are going now since COVID, but march in those parades if you have them. Do community service with your battalion. If you haven't already, start getting in shape so you can earn your PT ribbons. If your school has after-school JROTC programs like drill team, rifle team, or Raiders I would definitely do those. If you really want to get in shape, go with Raiders (because I was a Raider and I'm biased). When it comes to making rank, our school had us do some kind of evaluation. They asked us about squad and platoon marching, reciting the Creed and Chain of Command, colors detail, and more stuff if you wanna go the Staff route (which is officer/senior enlisted)
A big thing that helped me a lot was to just go up to my instructor and ask for any opportunities such as field trips for a field training ribbon. Also ask a lot of questions about activities and such. Not only doing good but exceeding the minimum on your PT tests and Cadet Challenges will help you get more ribbons. For general leadership, just set the example for others. Keep your grades up and put in the effort. Also, don't swear a lot 😂. All of that ties in with ranking up. If you're given an opportunity, take it. I'm a C/SFC right now and just a few days ago they offered me if I'd like to take the C/SGM position next year just because I like to help other cadets stay motivated and keep their uniforms looking straight. I know this is like an entire essay, but I hope this helps you out and gives you some advice....and sorry for the late reply, lol
datboisboi do any and everything that you can! In my battalion, we rank up by getting merits points. Merit points come from doing drill meets, acing inspections, etc. you do EVERYTHING you can, and you will be rewarded for it at some point. Also, a good leader is a good follower. When you first start, watch your squad leaders, platoon sergeants, team captains and all of that. Learn from what they do and read up on your roles and responsibilities and you will be good!! I never thought that I would get anywhere at first because I was breaking my neck for JROTC and I still had a blank uniform, but I just had to be patient!! After 2 years I started getting lots of awards and positions like Drill Team Captain, Assistant Battalion S-3 and even Company Commander! So just do all you can and sit back and watch the awards roll in.
Our program is starting something new next year. There are going to be inspection boards for every NCO and Officer ranks. For example, a sergeant first class must be able to recite the Cadet Creed and march an entire platoon. And a Command Sergeant Major, I have to know how to do the Ceremonial Flag Detail. Just study up on the responsibility of your next upcoming rank. Our program may be a little different from yours but it doesn't hurt to get all the info you can get
CamJam 312 true!! Because it never hurts to know more than you need! And I honestly like how y’all do it, I miss the promotion boards because a lot of times if a student in command doesn’t like you, the won’t write you down for your points, so lots of people get held off from promotions they deserve.

We don't use brass ranks because retards like to steal them and get some money off of them
@@CamJam312 that fucking sucks dude. I am getting my A class in a few days and we’re fortunate enough to use brass.
@@CamJam312 Our school does the same it’s bs
Good quality keep up the good work

Thank you for the feedback, kind sir. I'm well out of JROTC now and currently undergoing training in the Navy. Best wishes to you!

Thanks Janeice! I just got promoted to C/CSM....so I've got a lot of responsibility on my shoulders now 😬

put the arc pin backers(froggers or whatever you choose to call them) thru into the back pocket.
Tried that. They always pop off and I keep losing them, lol
What let are you
I'm long gone out of high school lol
Why do you have your soft ranks on your jacket? We usually have hard ranks on our jackets.
Our program is broke af and can't afford to replace the ranks every time a cadet steals them
Im planning on joining JROTC this coning year. Ill be a freshman. Its army jrotc at Joplin high school. Any legit tips?

@@CamJam312 thank you, i am looking forward to doing color guard stuff mainly.
Awesome, I'd recommend drill team then lol
Nice man. You helped me a lot
Hey I'm a freshman so I'm new to JROTC. What advice would you give me to be successful such as rewards, working up in rank and just basic leadership?

Thanks for explaining this. I’m planning on going into the JROTC.
You should, it's fun and it looks good on job applications.
Aren't you supposed to have medal ranks or gold ranks for upperclassmen because I see everyone in my battalion who have medal ranks on there jacket
I depends on the school. My school didn't want to keep replacing brass ranks that would get stolen by cadets
Bruv, my plt got smoked in this shit, 100 degrees @ Ft Lee

Damn by the looks of it the only thing you DIDN’T do in ROTC was become a NCO
