What really is JROTC?
JROTC (Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps) is a school course, just like math or English, open to students from 8th – 12th grade. Unlike math and English, however, instead of learning "hard skills," like the quadratic formula or grammar, in JROTC you learn "soft skills," like leadership and communication!
