COURSE INFORMATION:The Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) Leadership Education and Training Program (LET).
History:The United States Army Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) came into being with the passage of the National Defense Act of 1916. Under the provisions of the Act, high schools were authorized the loan of federal military equipment and the assignment of active duty military personnel as instructors. There was a condition that the instructors follow a prescribed course of training and maintain a minimum enrollment of 100 students over the age of 14 years who were US citizens. In 1964, the Vitalization Act opened JROTC up to the other services and replaced most of the active duty instructors with retirees who worked for and were cost shared by the schools.
Title 10 of the U.S. Code declares that "the purpose of Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps is to instill in students in United States secondary educational institutions the value of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment."
The JROTC Program has changed greatly over the years. Once looked upon primarily as a source of enlisted recruits and officer candidates, it became a citizenship program devoted to the moral, physical and educational uplift of American youth. Although the program retained its military structure and the resultant ability to infuse in its student cadets a sense of discipline and order, it shed most of its early military content.
The study of ethics, citizenship, communications, leadership, life skills and other subjects designed to prepare young men and woman to take their place in adult society, evolved as the core of the program. More recently, an improved student centered curriculum focusing on character building and civic responsibility is being presented in every JROTC classroom.
JROTC is a continuing success story. From a modest beginning of 6 units in 1916, JROTC has expanded to 1555 schools today and to every state in the nation and American schools overseas. Cadet enrollment has grown to 273,000 cadets with 3,900 professional instructors in the classrooms. Comprised solely of active duty Army retirees, the JROTC instructors serve as mentors developing the outstanding young citizens of our country.Enrollment Student enrollment at the beginning of a school year is accomplished with the understanding that both semesters will be completed. Under certain circumstances, credit may be awarded upon satisfactory completion of one semester. Qualified students will normally be enrolled as cadets in the following leadership, education, and training (LET) classes:

EVALUATIONIn the production of this curriculum the JROTC Directorate has incorporated the latest educational theories used in secondary education. National Secondary School standards have been linked to each chapter to show a cross-connection with this curriculum and the standard curriculum taught in high school.
Consultants were used to validate the changes and to assist in the rewriting. Other commercially available materials have been incorporated and many times the authors of these programs have customized them for the JROTC program.

Discipline
Discipline comes from a Latin word which means “Learning.” The dictionary defines it as “training which corrects, molds, strengthens, or perfects.”
Military discipline is an outward manifestation of mental attitude and state of training, which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions. It is founded upon respect for and loyalty to properly constituted authority. Discipline and punishment do not have the same definitions. Discipline is the practice or methods of ensuring that people obey rules by teaching them to do so while punishment is a penalty that is imposed on somebody for wrongdoing.Being disciplined means that West Mesquite High School cadets are learning to place the tasks of their unit—their team—above their personal desires. It means that they are learning to follow the orders of their leaders promptly and cheerfully, so that even in the leader’s absence they will observe established rules and conduct themselves properly. Our cadets learn the principles of delayed self enrichment and dedication to truth, they learn to balance responsibility and delegate duties accordingly and to exercise higher centers of the brain (judgment) and regulate lower centers of the brain (emotion).
In training, leaders will insist upon perfection in what may seem to be minor details. Such things as wearing the uniform properly will be closely scrutinized. The performance is expected to be the highest caliber, both on and off the campus. Cadets are expected to conduct themselves at all times in a manner which will reflect credit upon themselves, their parents, their JROTC unit, their school, and the United States Army.When necessary, the following means will be employed to enforce conformance to defined and published standards of conduct: Counseling by Cadet leadership Counseling by SAI/AI Performing additional training on the stated deficiencies Assigning demerits. Reduction in cadet rank.

CONDUCT AND MILITARY COURTESY
While in uniform, all members of the Corps of Cadets are expected to conduct
themselves in a manner which will reflect outstanding credit upon
themselves, their parents, their school, the cadet corps, and the United
States Army.
PERSONAL APPEARANCE, UNIFORMS, AND EQUIPMENT
Personal cleanliness and good grooming are a must for JROTC cadets at all times.
Clothing.All clothing must conform to the West Mesquite High School JROTC dress code. Females may have no more than one earring on each ear while in
uniform. Males are not permitted to wear earrings while in the JROTC uniform
or in civilian attire--- this violates MISD Dress Code. No body piercing should be visible at any time (other than ears for
females). No civilian headgear of any type is permitted while in uniform. Undergarments should be worn but not visible. Pants must be fitted at the natural waist, sagging pants will not be

Hair Styles-Male The choice of hairstyle is an individual decision. There are a wide
variety of hairstyles that, if maintained in a neat manner, are acceptable. Haircuts for male cadets, without reference to style, must conform to the following standards, in order to receive a passing grade on uniform inspections:- The hair on top of the head will be neatly trimmed and not of an
excessive length. The hair will not be allowed to fall over the eyebrows.
- The sides and back will be trimmed and tapered, but need not be shaven or excessively clipped; however, it will not touch the collar or ears.
- If male cadets desire to wear sideburns, they will be neatly trimmed and evenly tapered, with a clean shaven line and no flare at the base, and they will not extend below the bottom part of the ear.

Hair Styles-Female Hairstyles for female cadets, without reference to style, must
conform to the following standards in order to receive a passing grade on uniform inspections.
Hair should be worn in such a manner that it is off the collar in the back and not allowed to fall over the eyebrows in the front. When gathering long hair in the back, hair twists should be restricted to black or dark brown, or the natural color of the hair.
Uniforms.The JROTC uniform is more than a suit of clothing. It’s a symbol of honor, tradition, and achievement. Smart appearance and proper conduct while in uniform is an indication of self-respect, pride, alertness, and loyalty. The uniform and required equipment is furnished on a loan basis to
each cadet. Cadets are responsible for the condition of these items and for the proper return of all items issued at the end of the school year. There are no charges for the use of the uniforms and equipment, provided all items are turned in at the end of the school year or when a cadet is disenrolled from the JROTC Program.
- - 8
Cost of cleaning, laundry, and normal maintenance of uniforms will
be the responsibility of the cadet while the uniform is in their possession. It is not necessary to have the uniforms cleaned prior to turn-in at end of the school year. The U.S. Army provides complete cleaning and maintenance during the summer months.
Army uniforms require frequent brushing and should be pressed before scheduled wear. The Army uniform (trousers) must be dry cleaned and should never be washed, as this will ruin the uniform.
On the designated uniform day, Cadets are expected to wear the prescribed uniform during the entire school day—not solely during the JROTC class period.

strengths of the JROTC program is that it allows many students to become
involved in extra-curricular activities. This participation builds team work,
and self-esteem thus supplying the objectives of the program. As other
Army JROTC clubs and activities are formed and authorized, this section
will be amended to include them.

MERIT POINT SYSTEM
Definition. The merit point system provides a means to reward cadets for performance and to minimize disruptive behavior.Purpose: The purpose of this Policy is to explain the Merit/Demerit System within the West Mesquite High School JROTC Program.
- - 12
Responsibilities. The cadet leadership will monitor cadet behavior during all JROTC activities—especially during off-campus trips. The SAI/IA will monitor cadet behavior, conduct, and academic progress in all West Mesquite High School academic courses in coordination with teachers, counselors, and administrators.Control: All merit points earned must be approved prior to entry into the JUMS. Merit Point requests will be routed through the Chain of Command to the SAI/AI.GENERAL:
a. The JROTC Program, in addition to being an academic subject, is an activity designed to motivate young people to be better citizens. Good order and discipline are two of the tools used for the development of this objective. Accordingly, the West Mesquite High School JROTC Department will use a system of rewards and punishments to encourage JROTC cadets to adhere to high standards of conduct, Self-discipline and personal appearance. The system used will be the Merit/Demerit System.
b. Merits and Demerits may increase or decrease a cadet's semester grade.
c. Merits contribute to a cadet's earning the Merit, Exceptional Service and Good Conduct Ribbons.
d. Each merit or demerit slip must be reviewed, approved or disapproved and signed by the instructor concerned prior to entry on cadet's merit/demerit card.
e. Merits and demerits will impact on a cadet’s standing on the order of merit list for promotions.
Procedures: The S-1 will record merit points into the JUMS official cadet record.No cadet may issue themselves merit points.No cadet may issue merit points to a boy friend or girl friend.The provisions of good leadership will be followed in awarding merit points. Failure to do so will be ground for demotion or removal from the position of trust.Any cadet that feels they have not received either recognition for outstanding service or feels they have incorrectly received merit points my appeal, in writing, to the Battalion Command Sergeant Major.
- - 13
Merit Points will be given for academic achievement, acts of selfless service, and demonstrated leadership under duress.
Merits a. A merit is a positive grade in conduct or efficiency given for exceptional performance of duty, outstanding achievement, or extra duties assigned outside the scope of the regular curriculum. Merits may be applied against demerits to negate their effect. Exception to this policy is that any demerits assessed for repetitive uniform or personal appearance problems, or abusive insubordination is not automatically negated by the use of merits. b. Merits may be awarded by any JROTC instructor, cadet officer, or non-commissioned officer.
c. Merits are turned into the Battalion S-1 on a Merit Slip
d. The S-1 will maintain a current and up-to-date record of all merits/demerits.
f. The S-1 will provide the JROTC instructors a listing by unit, by name of merits/demerits accumulated during each semester.
g. When cadets perform community service activities, one merit will be given for each fifteen minutes worked by the cadet.

Demeritsa. A demerit is a negative grade in conduct or efficiency assessed against a cadet who has
committed more serious violations of the JROTC Code of Conduct. The number of demerits assessed depends on the seriousness and/or frequency of the delinquency. Demerits may be given by any military instructor, cadet officer or administrator. Demerits are turned into the Battalion S-1 on a Demerit Slip; The S-1 will manage the Demerit Program and ensure all demerits are posted. Serious violations are identified to the Company Commander and SAI. The S-1 compiles a weekly list of demerits for posting on the Bulletin Board.
b. There are four ways a person may erase/eliminate demerits in his/her file:
(1) Trade Off: Some demerits may be traded off with merits. For example, a person who has 15 Merits and picks up a demerit for dirty shoes may trade one of his/her merits for the demerit. Thus, he/she will not have to work it off.
(2) Work Off: There are two ways a student in JROTC can "work off" demerits. (a) In most cases, the student in JROTC will be directed to report to the JROTC Department for work details which consists of cleaning up classrooms, sweeping and mopping floors emptying trash, policing up the outside area around the entrance to the JROTC Department, etc. It takes 15 minutes of work to eliminate on (1) demerit.
(b) Another is via the normal West Mesquite High School disciplinary system. Any violation of JROTC policy is automatically a violation of West Mesquite High School policy. The
determination of whether a cadet is sent to the Assistant Principal or disciplined within the JROTC Department will be made by the Company Commander or Instructor. If sent to the Assistant Principal demerits are still written up and posted in the cadet's records for the offense which created the incident leading to the situation which required the assistance of an administrator.
c. Cadets with excessive or repetitive demerits will be turned over to the Assistant Principal's Office by JROTC Cadre for additional disciplinary action using the WMHS Form.
d. Demerits may be worked off in the mornings before school or in the afternoon after school. Cadets who must work in the mornings or afternoons will be provided a 24 hour notice so that arrangements for transportation, if necessary, can be made
e. WMHS JROTC instructors have the authority to require cadets to work off demerits, regardless of the offense. Examples would be for repetitive violations of minor offenses.
