(Spring Semester) Navy Junior ROTC (NJROTC) (Forest Hills and Sun Valley) The Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) accredited curriculum emphasizes citizenship and leadership development, as well as maritime heritage, the significance of sea power, and naval topics such as the fundamentals of naval operations, seamanship, navigation and meteorology. Classroom instruction is augmented throughout the year by extra-curricular activities of community service, academic, athletic, drill and orienteering competitions, field meets, flights, visits to Navy or other military activities, sports training, and physical fitness training. Electronic classroom equipment, textbooks, uniforms, educational training aids, travel allowance, and a cost-share of instructors’ salaries are provided by the Navy. The NJROTC Program promotes patriotism, develops informed and responsible citizens, increases respect for constructed authority, and leadership potential. NJROTC promotes high school completion, higher education and community service. The purpose of the NJROTC Program is to develop a high degree of personal honor, self-reliance, individual discipline and leadership skills. NJROTC promotes an understanding of the basic elements and the need for national security while providing information on the military services as a possible career. Students do not incur any military obligation with Junior ROTC. Further, the NJROTC program is not a recruiting platform for the U.S. Military Services. Eligible students that complete a minimum of two years in NJROTC can qualify for ROTC college scholarships, service academy appointments, and enlistment in advanced pay grades should they desire to pursue those options. ROTC college scholarships typically pay for tuition, fees and books. In addition, scholarship recipients each receive a tax-free monthly stipend (spending allowance) of $300 to $500.
