JROTC (Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps) is a high school (middle school in some exceptions) program created in 1916 with the National Defense Act of 1916 in preparation of WWI. This program is used to teach students how to be exceptional leaders and learn certain skills which can help any who join in the future.
Typically, the program is stereotyped by liberals or far left wingers as a war machine made to brainwash kids into working for the US government. Typically, stereotyped by jocks/athletic students as a place for nerds or army roleplayers.

Left winger: 'Oh no! Another person being brainwashed by the war machine! DOWN WITH JROTC!' (Actual scenario happened at my old school.)
Informed student/JROTC Cadet: 'No. They're just learning actual skills for their future instead of picking up a sign and yelling.'

Jock: 'HA! Nerds! JROTC is full of nerds!' (Incorrect. Plenty of 'jocks' have joined JROTC.)
Cadet: 'Not really. We're learning life skills.'

The mission of JROTC is to encourage young people to become better citizens. There's usually days for drill & ceremony, PT, uniform inspection, and academics. There are also teams that you choose to join after school such as Drill Team, Color Guard, Rifle Team, Raiders, etc. JROTC students are also usually in charge of flag detail (raising/lowering the US and state flag in front of the school) in the morning and afternoon. You get cords, ribbons, arches, and medals for joining teams, attending parades, getting good grades, etc. JROTC usually has a bunch of attractive, in-shape guys ;)
Kendra: Hey Jane, have you seen our battalion XO?
Jane: XO?
Kendra: Oh, right you're not in JROTC. Well, he's probably the hottest guy to ever walk the earth

A Class where you are motivated to become a better citizen. While being surrounded by people that take it too seriously.
