Art,
Congratulations on your son’s active participation with the NJROTC.
We need more young men that are instilled with proper values, i.e. as your son James, and that are focused on serving our community.
You and your family have lots to feel and be proud about.
sincerely,

Awesome! I did ROTC at UC Santa Barbara and it was one of my best life experiences thus far.
The jrotc program is a very good program i was in it and now I am in Israel on a busines trip.
Thanks for checking in with us Jesus! Safe travels!
Over 35 years and still going strong. I was there from 73-76 during the time of founding instructors Lt. Cmdr. Carl Hill, USN, Ret. and 1st Sgt Frank Brown, USMC Ret.
We had a GREAT rifle drill team then which I was a proud part of for two years.
Nothing like it for building selfesteem, comradeship and the spirit of team work
and purpose in a young person. And lots of fun in a safe, positive enviroment.
Best to all
