An elective in high school you can take simply for the high school credit. It counts as 1 practical arts credit per year. Everything military-esque that is done in the class is completly optional. A cadet does not have to wear his uniform if he/she does not want too; for example. Another thing that is often misunderstood is that by doing JROTC in high school you are NOT obligated to ANY sort of military commitment once you finish high school.
Guy: Hey man I see you're in JROTC, what branch are you going into when you graduate?
Guy2: Haha, you don't have to join the military if you're in JROTC, I'm just in it for the fun.

an elective class in high school in which all the students of that class wear the same uniform every wednesday.
it is, as most people agree, impossible to fail because there are no hard tests and all you have to do is shave and get a trim tuesday night, or whenever you want to before wednesday (as you have to to be "presentable).
when you join the class, all you can talk about is the class, and it reflects upon your conversational skills
the class teaches students to be like the air force, and the instructors take its campiness like its serious.
Fact: John Jay HS in San Antonio (Spurstown) has the largest Air Force ROTC unit anywhere
do not get into a fight with an ROTC cadet, as ROTC works like a gang, and every member will be on you

A terribly corrupt and poorly undertaken attempt by the United States Military to indoctrinate and shelter teenagers too young to enlist. Classes cost more than the average high school class, teach racism and homophobia, have a generally sub-par curriculum, and promote violence.
Remember when two Arizona JROTC members dressed in fatigues and killed nine Buddhist monks after looting their temple?
Bill: Hey! I wanna join the JROTC!
Chris: I can't be friends with you anymore.

An organization that I, personally, think is completely worthless. I have learned many helpful skills from getting a job and going through life experiences. I don't have to wear a suit and carry a flag during Prep Rallies.
I was reading some JROTC definitions and I notice one thing in common with those supporting it: They all mention kicking someone's ass who doesn't support it. JROTC is teaching them VERY valuable life lessons. lol.

Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps. A program filled with drama favoritism, also keen on developing character for potential military and civilian careers, but ultimately their feed the ego of high school teenagers so they can become weekend warriors in the National Guard a couple of years later; whereas real ROTC can make you an officer in any branch. Also known as Just Rejects Of The Community
Kid 1: I know what I'm talking about, I was in ROTC for 4 years.
Kid 2: In college?
Kid 1: No, in high school.
Kid 2: You were Just a Reject Of The Community, get your head out your ass.. jrotc

A Kick-ass High school elective that shows you how to do drills, and shows you what its like to be in the military. Most people stereotype, and think everyone in it is a nerd. which is not true.
