3. UNIFORM
a. Wear the prescribed uniform to school for Leadership Laboratory on Wednesday, or as directed on the training schedule. Wearing of the uniform is MANDATORY for Leadership Lab and the JROTC Program of Accreditation. The uniform will be worn properly for the entire day, including travel to and from school. If you fail to wear the uniform on time, you may be allowed to make up the requirement within the week with point deductions lowered each day. If you fail to make up the uniform requirement during each week, you may receive a grade of zero points for uniform inspection for the week. Your instructor will make a determination in the case of unusual circumstances on an individual basis.
b. On days designated for Cadet Challenge/Physical Training, bring clothes suitable for outdoor exercise. Proper clothing is a requirement to participate. If you fail to wear proper clothing for Cadet Challenge/Physical Training you may possibly receive reduced or no credit as long as you participate in some type of physical activity as your instructor designates. Athletic shoes and loose fitting clothes are required. DO NOT wear dresses, skirts, tight jeans, boots, high heels, leggings as an outer garments. Cadets may not wear muscle shirts, or shorts that will not remain at the waistline while conduct physical activity. Additionally, female cadets will wear basketball shorts. Short shorts are not allowed. Additionally, students will not wear low cut shirts that reveal cleavage at any time. All shirts must cover the shoulders. Use common sense as your guide. If you are not sure, ask in advance.
4. CLASS MATERIALS. Bring paper and writing utensil to class every day. HAVE PAPER AND PEN READY TO TAKE NOTES after formation. This folder will be for your notes, and papers such as your handouts, quizzes, and tests. Your instructor will provide textbooks for take home and in-class work. You will also maintain a CADET PORTFOLIO BINDER with samples of course work, notes, and your textbook.
5. UNIFORM AND MATERIALS MAINTENANCE AND TURN-IN. You are responsible for maintaining uniforms and class materials. Turn them in immediately if you transfer schools or drop JROTC. Replacement costs for lost or damaged items are available on the bulletin board. Launder or dry clean uniforms as required and only according to the instructions on the care tag on the uniform. If you properly care for your uniform, it will last longer. You may wash, dry, and iron shirts, paying close attention to ensure the neck of your shirt does not become excessively dirty. Coats, trousers, and slacks must be professionally dry-cleaned. DO NOT WASH THE ASU COAT, TROUSERS OR SLACKS. You may be liable for the cost of replacement if you do. Remove all items from pockets and on the uniform itself prior to cleaning and returning your uniform.
6. SUMMARY SEMESTER OVERALL POINTS, SEMESTER GRADING
a. NOTEBOOK/BINDER CHECK. Keep an organized, notebook. For LET I & IIs, the instructor may allow use of notes during some exams.
b. QUIZZES. Cadets will take weekly quizzes, if possible, and will normally be worth 100 points each. Quizzes will focus on important learning objectives and will help prepare for semester exams.
c. SEMESTER EXAM. The semester exam is worth 100 points. It is cumulative and covers important learning objectives from the entire semester.
d. LEADERSHIP LAB/UNIFORM INSPECTION. Each lab is worth 100 points. Grades are based on performance of assigned drill tasks, followership, wear and appearance of the uniform, and participation in and performance of assigned tasks.
e. CLASS PRESENTATIONS. Developing communication skills is also essential for success. During the semester, cadets will prepare, organize, develop, and give a 3 to 5 minute oral presentations. Generally, presentations are worth 25 points. Any written report accompanying a presentation will also be worth 50 points. Instructors will provide class time for individual and groups to prepare. In some cases, cadets may have to use time at home to prepare for presentations and for class. All cadets are expected to read the text on the assigned lesson. Cadets who are not prepared and decline to present will not receive points. The key to success is to know the subject, prepare, use note cards, and always attempt to complete an assigned task.
f. CADET CHALLENGE. This testing is worth 100 points, with five events 20 points each. Cadets will be given a pretest during the fall semester and a post test during the spring semester. All tested cadets are expected to improve their combined overall testing score by 10 to 15 points by spring semester. Physical fitness is designed to encourage physical fitness, but the evaluation is based on participation and having the proper clothing. Additionally, each cadet that participates in all events will receive a certificate. Cadets that perform in an outstanding manner will be recognized.
g. MAKE UP WORK. When a cadet misses schoolwork including tests because of an excused absence, he or she will have fourteen days following the first day of returning to school to complete the makeup work and/or tests. Make up work is the responsibility of the cadet, not the instructor.
NOTE: The total number of points for each is approximate and will depend on the number of grading opportunities, which may vary. Your grade is based on the number of points achieved as a percentage of the total points available.

“To Motivate Young People To Be Better Citizens”
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
All teams require practice after school and at times which may affect the cadet’s personal schedule and schoolwork. Because training for our teams will be performed after school, each cadet is responsible for making his or her own transportation arrangements. Teams compete at different competitions around the district and region.
DRILL TEAM
The Drill Team demands a lot of dedication and personal sacrifices. The drill team consists of cadets who can demonstrate an exceptional performance with drill rifles or unarmed. The Drill Team competes in regulation and fancy drill. Cadets considering joining the drill team show exceptional discipline, dress, and military bearing. The drill team also participates in local parades.

RAIDER TEAM
The Raider Team combines both mental and physical activities. Raiders in JROTC are taught leadership though hands on training. Those who join are fully motivated and determined cadets who work and push themselves. They know their limits, but surpass them every day. Combining strenuous workouts with extensive knowledge is their specialty.
SABER TEAM
The Saber team attends formal events like graduation, homecoming court and the holiday ceremonies. They form arches for these events, and march in parades with sabers.
RIFLE TEAM
The Rifle Team allow cadets to learn about shooting and the fundamentals of marksmanship. The main priority of the Rifle Team is safety. The Rifle Team consists of approximately six shooters selected by a screening process. The Team utilizes 0.177 pellet rifles during practices and competitions.

JROTC CADETS HAVE NO MILITARY OBLIGATION
JROTC cadets earn academic grades, but its true measure of success is the young people it motivates to stay in school and graduate. JROTC help cadets to develop personal confidence and pride in self. It urges cadets to make sound decisions and to avoid drugs and other negative peer pressures. JROTC equips cadets with life skills that enhance success after graduation.
JROTC FOLDER PAGE EXAMPLE
PAGE ORGANIZATION
1. Use a heading for each day’s notes. Example: Objective: State the mission of JROTC. 14 Aug 19
2. You should record the day’s objective when they are stated either on the board or verbally.
3. You may write on the backs of the paper as long as your writing remains legible. You do not need to begin a new page each day as long as you skip two lines between each day’s notes.
4. You should record major teaching points, including examples and illustrations even if they are not recorded on the board. This appears to be the difficult task for cadets in maintaining a notebook. You must listen and selectively record information that is important (noteworthy). This would include instructions announcements, assignments, in addition to specific class subject matter. Be attentive, listen closely, and keep your pen or pencil at the ready.
PORTFOLIO CHECK/REVIEW–

PROMOTIONS
General
Upon initial entry into the JROTC program, students become cadet privates. Factors that influence how fast they are advanced to the higher grades include: their overall attitude and application to JROTC subjects; their degree of cooperation with fellow cadets and participation in all JROTC activities; their performance during drill and ceremony conducted in the classroom and on the drill field, military courtesy and appearance in uniform; and on the existence of authorized unit position vacancies.
As a basic rule, promotions will be one grade promotion at a time, even though a cadet may spend only a short period of time in each grade. However, those cadets that demonstrate superior academic and military leadership qualities may jump one or more grades. For instance, a worthy cadet sergeant may be advanced to the grade of cadet second lieutenant if an authorized vacancy exists and he/she is deemed best qualified for that appointment.
As the grades get higher, the responsibilities and demands on a cadet’s time increase, and the authorized positions become fewer with each succeeding advancement becomes more competitive.
Cadets with a D or F in JROTC will not be considered for promotion.
Demotions
Demotions may result from inefficiency, misbehavior, want of readiness, or any other failure when properly investigated. Recommendations for demotions follow the same command procedure as recommendations for promotion.
Transfers
Cadets transferring to another School District in which JROTC is taught will be transferred in present grade held.
RAMSAY HIGH SCHOOL JROTC MERIT/DEMERIT SYSTEM.
A. GENERAL. The merit/demerit system is a tool available within the JROTC Department
to teach individual discipline in the Corps of Cadets. The Merit System focuses on personal responsibility to meet or exceed clearly communicated standards of performance and conduct. Those who meet and exceed the standards may earn merits, while cadets who fail to meet them earn demerits. A cadet's merit/demerit record reflects his or her overall attitude toward and performance within the JROTC Program; therefore, merits/demerits will be a factor in determining promotions.
B. Merits. Merits may be awarded in the amounts and for the reasons below. This list is
NOT all inclusive (Setting a good example)
REASON AMOUNT
1. Outstanding demonstration of leadership 1-5 merits
2. Drill Team/Color Guard Practice 1-5 merits
3. Team members of a winning team in a Competition 10 merits
4. JROTC work outside normal school hours 2 merits per hour
5. Recruiting a new cadet 10 merits
6. ALL A’s and B’s on report card 10 merits
7. Wearing the proper school uniform 1 merit daily
8. Turn in assignments or meet requirements before a deadline 3-5 merits
9. Exceptional example of JROTC Code of Ethics and values in action 3-5 merits
10. Praise from faculty about a cadet 1-5 merits
C. Demerits. Cadets with a demerit balance may reduce or eliminate demerits by earning merits, which cancel demerits on a two-for-one basis; or, by performing service arranged with the JROTC Department faculty. It takes two merits to erase one demerit. Failure to correct a demerit balance by the end of the semester will result in the ineligibility for promotion until the end of the next grading period. Demerits are tied to promotion – A cadet with a balance of demerits is not eligible for promotion.
REASON AMOUNT
NOT all inclusive. (Not setting a good example)
1. Disrespect to SAI or AI 10 demerits
2. Failure to promptly follow directions given by SAI or AI (call for formations, depart gym etc)

Personal appearance
The JROTC Program is a uniformed program where discipline is judged, in part, by the manner in which a cadet wears a prescribed uniform, as well as by the individual’s personal appearance. Therefore, a neat and well-groomed appearance by all cadets is fundamental to the JROTC Program and contributes to building the pride and esprit essential to an effective Corps of Cadets. All cadets are students first, therefore, must adhere to all North Pitt Dress Code Policies.
1. Hair Styles. Many hairstyles are acceptable, as long as they are neat and conservative. Hair will be neatly groomed. The length and bulk of hair will not be excessive or present a ragged, unkempt, or extreme appearance. Hair will not fall over the eyebrows or extend below the bottom edge of the collar. Lines or designs will not be cut into the hair or scalp. If dyes, tints, or bleaches are used, colors used must be natural to human hair and not present an extreme appearance. Applied hair colors that are prohibited include, but are not limited to, purple, blue, pink, green, orange, bright (fire-engine) red, and fluorescent or neon colors. It is the responsibility of instructors to use good judgment in determining if applied colors are acceptable, based upon the overall effect on cadets’ appearance.
a. Males. Sideburns will be neatly trimmed. The base will not be flared and will be a clean-shaven, horizontal line. Sideburns will not extend below the lowest part of the exterior ear opening. The face will be clean-shaven, except for permitted mustaches. Hair that is clipped closely or shaved to the scalp is authorized. Males are not allowed to wear braids, cornrows, spikes, ponytails or any type of eccentric hairstyle while in the JROTC uniform. We do not require a "crew cut," but we do expect the hair on top of the head to be neatly groomed. All cadets must be able to wear a beret properly while in uniform.
b. Females. Hairstyles will not interfere with the proper wearing of military headgear. Hair holding ornaments (barrettes, pins, clips), if used, must be transparent or similar in color to hair, and will be inconspicuously placed. Beads or similar ornamental items are not authorized. Females may wear braids and cornrows as long as the braided style is conservative and the braids and cornrows lie snugly on the head. Hair will not fall over the eyebrows or extend below the bottom edge of the collar at any time during normal activity or when standing in formation. Long hair that falls naturally below the bottom edge of the collar, to include braids, will be neatly and inconspicuously fastened or pinned, so no free-hanging hair is visible.
c. Fingernails. Cadets will keep fingernails clean and neatly trimmed so as not to interfere with performance of duty. Females may wear polish that is not exaggerated, faddish, or of extreme coloring, such as purple, gold, blue or white while in uniform.
d. Jewelry. The wearing of a wrist watch, a wrist identification bracelet, and not more than two rings is authorized with the Army uniforms (unless prohibited for safety or health reasons) as long as the style is conservative and in good taste.
(1) Females. may wear earrings on the earlobe not to exceed ¼ inches in diameters, and they must be unadorned and spherical (ball shaped) in gold ,silver, white pearl, or clear diamond. Cadets will not wear any other piercings while wearing the JROTC uniform to include nose piercings. The administration has approved the JROTC uniform as an exception to the North Pitt dress code policy concerning nose piercings.
(2) Males. Males are not allowed to wear earrings while wearing the JROTC uniform.
(3) Religious Jewelry. Religious Jewelry is the only type of jewelry that is allowed to be worn around the neck of a JROTC cadet. Cadets may wear religious jewelry with the JROTC uniform if it is neat, conservative, discreet and not visible.
e. Trousers/ Slacks must be worn at the natural waist.

Cadet Leadership
The smooth running of any organization is dependent upon a clear understanding on the part of all members of the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of each individual. It is the purpose of this chapter to clarify those rights, privileges and responsibilities. The provisions of this chapter have the same force as an order issued directly to a cadet. It is your responsibility to be fully aware of these regulations and to conduct yourself in such a way that the “Esprit de Corps” as well as the letter of regulation is met.
Respect for Authority. A major aim of the Army JROTC program is to aid you in becoming a better citizen. In keeping this goal, all cadets are required to show the proper respect for authority. This applies equally to your relationships with cadets holding higher rank/position and to school officials. The maxim, “To lead you must first learn to obey,” is taken seriously from your first day in the corps.
Authority of Cadet Officers and NCOs. Cadet Officers and non-commissioned officers (NCO’s) are duly appointed representatives of the Senior Army Instructor (SAI). Junior cadet should comply with instructions as long as they do not violate any school, JROTC, or pre-established rule or guidance given by an adult. Cadets are charged with the responsibility of complying as long as the act is regardless of any personal feelings of animosity toward the superior giving them.
c. Responsibilities of Cadet Officers and NCOs. All cadet officers and noncommissioned officers have responsibilities placed upon then when they assume their rank/position. They must at all times be fair, impartial, and impersonal in giving orders. Without the cooperation of subordinates, the cadet officer and the noncommissioned officer will have an almost impossible task.
Cadet Leaders must strive to achieve impeccable conduct and character. Cadets must maintain an acceptable standard of conduct. Those in leadership positions are expected to demonstrate high personal standards in order to set the example. All cadets should be honest, self-reliant, and have a sense of personal and social responsibility while performing unit and other academic assignments. They must exhibit self-discipline and respect for the constituted authority through observance of laws, rules and regulations; by prompt and regular attendance at instruction; and in their general attitude. Cadets who fail to meet standards will be removed from leadership positions. All cadets will be screened at the end of each school year and will only be readmitted to the program with the approval of the SAI/AI.
Battalion and staff leaders will be required to sign a pledge to fulfill their duties and responsibilities to the best of their ability. In addition, the battalion commander, key leaders, and staff must function as a cohesive staff in order to accomplish specified and implied tasks. These leaders must meet at least one time per week to accomplish assigned tasks. All time spent working on staff actions will be documents in detail using a cadet sign in log. An example is as follows: S1-Posted awards in JUMS for Cadets Smith, Jones, and Andrews.
Leaders will be evaluated at least one time per semester, however, developmental counseling in regards to any aspect of being a cadet can be accomplished at any time.
