My oldest is a sophomore and finally was able to dress for JROTC today. I never served, so I wasn’t much help on proper dress for him. Today was really just for the upper class men to help out the new kids with getting it right. He was pretty excited though. After last years covid debacle, he’s finally getting to be involved. He’s really hoping that they can do their D-Day trip to France in the next year or so. I’ll definitely be volunteering as a parent chaperone if they need any.

Congrats to your son. Definitely will not regret the D-Day trip if you two get to go on it.

That’s a fine looking young man. Obviously he’s a product of excellent parenting. I hope he always remembers the pride he felt the first time he donned the uniform. 👍

Ptarmigan: Please pass along my congratulations to your son - I hope he is happy and does well in his chosen course. I did 29 years in uniform and it was rewarding in many ways but trying in others. Congratulations to you as well for producing such a fine young human. We need more, LOTS MORE, like him. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Did not go that route myself, but if one follows through, the program should provide a fine education and good career opportunities. Have a neighbor that took that route through the Air Force.

Good on him, and you too. 👍 LOL! When he was picking up his uniform yesterday they were having a hard time finding a beret that fit him. His instructor, an Army Major, said “Damn son, you have a big [bleep] head!”. Haha! Hopefully he had to do a few pushups today, as they build character!

Good foundation for him to build on for sure.👍👍👍
If he pursues the military he can get a full boat ride college ROTC scholarship going the course of super acheivement in HS.
It aint a bad way of life like many think or like to slam.
I would recommend Infantry or Armour. Out dealing death.....
But thats just me😁😁😁
