Answer 1

im not in jrotc but you will definently not be carrying a gun around school, its like illegal now. you cant even bring in a pink water gun in

Answer 2

I thought it was fun but it can be strict depending on the program. It varies from school to school you know? For example, my class was strict but my friend at a different school had it pretty lax and got away with a lot.

I didn't get to carry a plastic gun around school but I got to work with a "dummy" gun during the course and also did practice shooting on a range. We learned how to walk with the gun and switch arms. We also learned how to take apart the gun, clean it and put it back together. We also used bow & arrows at a few different times during the course.

I only moved up a rank per year I was in the course but you also get ribbons for doing things like community service.

We had a regular uniform as well as a dress uniform we had to wear to special ceremonies. We had to wear our uniforms to school once a week and went to inspection to make sure we had them on properly.

I didn't go on any field trips except when we went to compete against other njrotc programs.

Along with all that we had to learn a lot of factual stuff like military history and the general orders. We also competed in physical fitness tests to measure our improvement.
