The Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) is a Federal program sponsored by the United States Armed Forces in high schools across the United States. The program was originally created as part of the National Defense Act of 1916 and later expanded under the 1964 ROTC Vitalization Act.

A member of a JROTC program in high school who, even after leaving the class, still conducts himself in JROTC-specific manners, i.e. squaring his corners, marching, keeping military bearing in other classes, getting in step with someone when walking down the hall. Usually wears JROTC T-shirts all the time, but not always a concrete give-away. ROTC Nazi is a pretty gray area term, sometimes being an insult, sometimes a mark of honor. It was intended as an insult, but some cadets take it pretty well, a few even labeling themselves as ROTC Nazis.

John Doe: God look at that kid, even when he leaves ROTC his mind is still there.
Jane Doe: Yeah, what a ROTC Nazi.
(In this case, used as an insult)
(A cadet accidently squares his corner)
Cadet: God, I'm such a ROTC Nazi!
(In this case, used as something positive, or tolerable)

This group consists of some of the most patriotic kids and some LGBTQ+ plus kids that aren't the theater kids and are mostly in the choir for the grade. The two farthest groups in school come together to create mental and emotional stress for their retired leaders. Many of these two groups take this class because they aren't smart enough to go to college or just really want to get out in the field and have their life planned for them. However, sometimes you get the star students involved in everything. It is a toss-up if they will be confident enough, although distant to be the core commander or the shy more ROTC-focused core commander that tries their best to lead. Either way, they have the best potential to score high on the ASVAB and be bragged about to recruiters and the school, despite only passively thinking about joining the military. Throughout ROTC kids, the drama will ensue and relationships will form, then end up failing, usually resulting one dropping out. Despite opposing views and plans in life, they all come together to party at the military ball.
Person 1: Why does that boy always have his head shaved and only talk about tanks?
Person 2: Oh he's a ROTC kid that can't wait to get swept up by the government.
Person 3: What about those girls over there holding hands in matching clothes?
Person 2: Also ROTC kids, but *walks over* NO #PDA IN UNIFORM YOU TWO!
