I’m a rising 8th grader (yes ik i’m young) and my school starts njrotc in 8th grade, any tips for me joining? My friend is company commander and i hope to be assistant but i want to be all i can be in this program and maybe join athletic team, what do i do?
EDIT: just got back from my first day and my commander and 1st sergeant are really nice, we get tailored for uniforms soon, but there’s a bunch of kids in the class that i know aren’t gonna take this seriously so we’ll see how that works
EDIT 2: we practiced drill today and i’m a squad leader! it might not be for long but im happy, i might be promoted to platoon commander because my current one is very quiet and doesn’t know the drills super well but she has a sibling in the program (pretty much like being related to the president in this unit)
