NO SLACK, NO EXCUSES! That’s the motto of highest qualified unit in the county. There are 9 JROTC programs in Prince William County. 4 of those are Air Force: Battlefield, Freedom, Hylton, and Stonewall Jackson, 2 are Army: Forest Park and Woodbridge, 1 are Marines: Garfield, and 2 are Navy: Osbourn Park and Potomac (“Prince”). When it comes to selecting the rating of a unit it follows under 3 different categories: Honor unit with the distinction; the highest honor, Honor Unit, and Merit Unit; the lowest honor. However, only 2 of the schools’ programs follow these regulations because that is the way the 4th Brigade of the United States has established for Army units.

It is a very intensive and highly time consuming event. The preparation for this inspection usually takes at least one year and sometimes longer according to the evidence of services that you have to provide. Now, only Woodbridge High and Forest Park high school actually go through the same process for the inspection. This evaluation shows how qualified the unit is according to the star that they obtain. Not only that, but units that are considered qualified tend to have better cadets with higher capabilities in leadership and self discipline. In addition, they are more likely to obtain life skills to overcome challenges. They are mentally more prepared and understand the seven values of JROTC that are: loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, respect, honor and …show more content…
Even though Air Force units do not obtain a start, they still go through the evaluation process that determines their position as a distinguished unit. Their standards are extremely high and present a challenge to some cadets. However, this has helped them stand out as one of the best unit in the county. All other units that are not Army are still evaluated every four years to inspect their accreditation. However, they do not receive a start, they receive a letter grade. Battlefield has an A, meaning it is well prepared, managed and the quality of cadet is high. It is the only program in the county along with Woodbridge that is considered to display in their cadets the true meaning of an outstanding citizen and someone who had learned life
The SPCC is targeted to commissioned officers in grades 0-5 (Lieutenant Colonel) or 0-6 (Colonel) who have been centrally selected to command TO&E (Troops, Organization & Equipment) Sustainment Units. This course provides training in modular force operations for newly selected command designees, enabling them to function effectively throughout their command tour.

The NJROTC, or Naval Junior Recruit Officer Training Corpse, is built not only to teach high school students about the navy but also allows student to become our great leaders of the future. In NJROTC cadets are asked to live up to very high standards because those students in NJROTC are thought of as the best of the best and are at that school to represent the military way of life. In this program I have learned three traits that will help me better myself not only in the future but in the day I live today. These traits that I speak of are discipline, punctuality, and respect. If not for NJROTC I would have not been as great a person and would have little or no direction in my life.

It is notorious for being “the hardest school in the Army”, with an average yearly attrition rate of 39%. The course consists of the following four phases: RAP , Darby, Mountains, and Florida.

Thousands of the Army’s best and brightest Soldiers attempt the rigorous school each year to earn the coveted
Navy Rear Admiral S.C. Evans. Saporita was presented this letter by Commander Jimmie Miller, NJROTC Area Four Manager who was conducting the inspection and review of the unit. The ceremony concluded with Saporita being presented the units highest honor, the Cadet Meritorious Achievement Award. Earned by saving another person's life, it's only the third time in the units 41- year history that a cadet has received this award. Ensign Saporita can now display this ribbon with pride and attributes his bold actions to some of the experiences he has had in NJROTC. His time spent at the Leadership Academy in Newport, R.I. helped prepare him to make high pressure, split-second decisions. Learning about what to do in crisis situations and training in first aid within the NJROTC curriculum also played a major role in Saporitas

Their motto is, “who dares wins.” Only about 10% out of each class will pass and go on to be in the special force group. The rest has to either go home or have met their match within the training program. They only accept the best of the best and have no room to slack off.
As a ROTC cadet in the United States Army, It is my job to respect any cadre member and cadets appointed over me. Respect in the army and in the real world are slightly two different things. Outside ROTC world respect cannot be demanded nor expected, but as in ROTC world it is completely the opposite.

As our forefathers before us stated, ‘‘No one is more professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer, a leader of soldiers. As a Noncommissioned Officer, I realize that I am a member of a time honored corps, which is known as “The Backbone of the Army (“The NCO Creed written by SFC Earle Brigham and Jimmie Jakes Sr”). These words to the Noncommissioned Officer should inspire us to the fullest with pride, honor, and integrity. The NCO creed should mean much more than just words whenever we attend an NCO’s school.
