As some of you know, I am a member of the Southview JROTC program. It is a great program to be in! I absolutely love it! The program consists of a ninety minute class that teaches you to be a better student, leader, and citizen. Here you learn how to march and properly salute. You also learn what a leader is and how to become a better one. Along with the class there are many opportunities to get involved with extra curricular activities. We have several drill teams who compete against other schools. These drill teams include: Armed IDR, Unarmed IDR, Armed Exhibition, Unarmed Exhibition, Color Guard, Honor Guard, and Marksmanship. We also have a lot of opportunities to do service to our community like participating in "Clothe-A-Child", Salvation Army Bell Ringing, and a service learning project.
If you think that the JROTC program is nothing but serious stuff, you're sadly mistaken. We have at least two if not three dances a year; Military Ball, Halloween Dance, and a Valentine's Day Dance. We also have Cosmic Bowling nights in which we can raise the money for our great dances. The Saints Battalion is always having fun in one way or another. Once at competition there was a flickering light in the hallway. Well, it seemed to be that we where all fascinated with it and looked at it for minutes on end. Since then we have joked about it. We love to have fun, but also know when we need to be serious. hence the name "Crazy ROTC Kids."
I have been in the program for three years now. I am currently working on my fourth and final year in this great program. Armed Exhibition has been my life for the last two years and I will greatly miss our hard working team. JROTC is truly a great program. The nice thing about it is that you experiance the millitary life and have no obligation to join the military, that is unless you want to. Lol. Many have asked me if I plan to continue the program in college. The truth is simply this: I do not know. I have enjoyed the program greatly and have thought about continuing in college, but I do not know if I will. In the mean time, I enjoy Armed Exhibiton, JROTC, and competition.

She looks so fine in her uniform and wears it with pride even if some kids make fun of the cadets in uniform. (They should get a life.) She's learned a lot in three years (fourth this year) and made some good friends.
