CHAPTER 3

STANDARDS OF PERSONAL APPEARANCE

3.1. General. The high standards of personal appearance established for JROTC cadets are similar to

those required of a disciplined military unit. The way a cadet looks while wearing the JROTC uniform

reflects the pride the cadet has in him or herself, the school and the battalion. These standards apply

whenever a cadet is in uniform, or when not in uniform, if the cadet is representing the JROTC battalion.

3.2. Standards for Male Cadets.

a. Hair: The hair on top of the head will be neatly groomed. The length and/or bulk will not be

excessive or ragged, unkempt or extreme in appearance. Hair may not touch the collar or the ear. Extreme

haircuts are neither recommended nor encouraged. Fad haircuts, to include colored hair, are not

authorized. In all cases, the hair will not interfere with the normal wear of military headgear.

b. Sideburns: The sideburns will be neatly trimmed. The base of the sideburn will be a clean-

shaven horizontal line. It will not extend beyond the lowest opening of the ear.

c. Facial Hair: Male cadets will be clean-shaven. Mustaches are permitted if kept neatly

trimmed and tidy. No portion of the mustache will fall below a line parallel with the bottom of the lower lip.

d. Earrings: Male cadets will not wear earrings while in uniform.

e. Makeup: Male cadets are not authorized to wear makeup (except that which is prescribed

by a doctor or other recognized expert). Fingernails will be the natural color.

3.3. Standards for Female Cadets.

a. Hair: Hair will be neat and will not touch the top of the collar. Female cadets are discouraged

from wearing their hair so short so as to present an unfeminine appearance while in uniform. Bangs will

not touch the eyebrow and will not be exposed when wearing the JROTC cap. Barrettes (or similar hair

control items) may be worn, but will be transparent, or similar in color to the hair, or a neutral color (e.g.,

brown, black, tan, or silver). Hair on the side of the head will not extend below the lowest part of the exterior

of the ear. Fad haircuts, to include colored hair, are not authorized. In all cases, the hair will not interfere

with the normal wear of military headgear.

b. Earrings: Female cadets may wear one plain gold or silver stud in each ear lobe while in the

Army cadet service uniform (ACSU). No earrings or studs will be worn in the Army combat uniform (ACU).

c. Makeup: Makeup and nail polish will be in good taste, appropriate for the military uniform.

3.4. Standards for All Cadets.

a. Jewelry: Cadets may wear one watch or bracelet per wrist, and one ring per hand. Nose-

rings and other visible body decorations are prohibited while in uniform.

b. Offensive Clothing: Articles of clothing considered offensive to others or promoting an

inappropriate lifestyle will not be allowed in the classroom--whether or not the cadet is in uniform. Cadets

wearing such articles of clothing will be asked to remove them.

c. Hygiene: Poor hygiene habits not only pose a significant health hazard, but also make others

in the classroom uncomfortable. Cadets are encouraged to brush their teeth and shower daily.

- 5 -

d. Hair Length and color: No hair will show between headgear and eyebrows. Hair will be the

natural color.

e. Uniform Grade Requirement: When worn for grade, the uniform is to be worn all day, unless

an exception is granted by the SAI/AI. Violators will be penalized with (but not limited to) counseling, rank

reduction, and demerits. Cadets who have a reason to remove the uniform must request permission ahead

of time from the SAI/AI. Getting permission from a parent, teacher (other than SAI/AI), or other adult at any

time does not constitute “permission” and will be treated as a uniform violation.

f. Penalty: Any cadet who refuses to immediately correct a correctable uniform violation may

be counseled, reduced in rank, awarded demerits, removed from position, and/or have his/her grade

reduced. Repetitive offenders will be similarly penalized. Cadet NCOs especially are expected to set a

good example. See also paragraph 1.7.

3.5. Dress for Success. See uniform requirements in para 4.6. All other aspects of this chapter apply.

to cadets and are property of the U.S. Government. Uniform items are retained by the cadet until the end

of the school year or until the cadet withdraws from the JROTC program. Each cadet is responsible for the

care and safeguard of uniform items worth approximately $600. Parents and guardians are financially liable

for the cost to replace any items lost, or damaged through the fault or neglect of the cadet. They are

required to sign a written statement to that effect, prior to issuance of uniform items to cadets.

of a money order made payable to the Treasurer of the United States.

b. Alterations and repairs of uniform items are provided by the JROTC Department at no

expense to the cadet. The only exception is that cadets can sew on buttons and make other minor repairs.

4.3. Proper Care and Wear of Uniform. Proper wear of the cadet uniform is mandatory. The highest

standards of neatness are required when the uniform is worn and is in keeping with the fact that the cadet

is privileged to wear the uniform of the United States Army Junior ROTC. The uniform is worn to and from

school and during school hours on the day weekly unit inspections are conducted. The uniform is worn on

other special occasions as directed by the SAI. Any cadet wishing to wear his or her uniform on a special

CHAPTER 5

INSPECTIONS AND CEREMONIES

5.1. General. Inspections and ceremonies are formal affairs during which cadets are on parade. It is an

occasion for each cadet to look his or her best.

5.2. Weekly Inspections.

a. Generally, uniform inspections will be conducted on Wednesday or Thursday of the school

week. Each cadet is to wear the uniform in school all day. The purpose of the weekly inspection is to

determine the progress, appearance and military knowledge of cadets. Inspections will normally be in

ACSU, B or C (ACU) uniform.

b. The SAI/AI or a cadet officer/NCO will conduct inspections in accordance with FM 3-21.5 for

each class period. Periodically other senior cadet leaders may be scheduled to conduct inspections of

various class periods. The Senior Army Instructor or Army Instructor may observe all inspections,

regardless of who is inspecting.

c. Inspections will be conducted in a professional manner and questions will be based on the

cadet's level of JROTC knowledge. Inspections will emphasize military appearance and grooming.

d. Cadets who wear the incorrect uniform may be penalized unless they provide a reasonable and acceptable explanation. The SAI will make the final determination as to acceptability. e. Cadets who do not wear a uniform may be penalized and will be allowed to make up the inspection. If the inspection is not made up the cadet will receive a zero inspection score. f. Uniform Make Up. Make up inspections must be accomplished no later than the next JROTC class period. (1) If the inspection is made up the very next day (i.e., the day between JROTC classes), the cadet may receive full credit for the inspection. (2) Inspections made up the next JROTC class day will be graded with a penalty. (3) Cadets with an excused absence on uniform day must make up the inspection no later than the next JROTC class day for full credit to be awarded. If the inspection is not made up, the cadet will receive a zero inspection score. (4) Cadets with an unexcused absence on uniform day will be treated as if they were in class without a uniform.

(5) Makeup of missed inspections will be the responsibility of the cadet.

5.3. Biannual Formal Inspection.

a. Every other year a team of representatives of the Commander, USAREUR ROTC Region,

Heidelberg, Germany, will conduct an inspection of this unit in accordance with Cadet Command Regulation

145-8.

b. The purpose of this inspection, besides assuring that all Department of the Army policies

and procedures are followed, is to evaluate this unit against other units to determine which units will be

designated by the USAREUR ROTC Region Commander as Honor Unit or Honor Unit with Distinction.

- 5 -

c. All cadets in the 6th AJROTC Battalion are expected to participate in this inspection. This is

a graded exercise.

5.4. Ceremonies.

a. Throughout the school year, the battalion may participate in a variety of ceremonies, such

as military reviews, parades and ceremonial observances. Cadet participation is expected and will be

graded. Cadets who do not attend such activities and do not have an acceptable excuse from the SAI, will

not receive credit.

b. Special ceremonies, involving the Color Guard and Honor Guard are held throughout the

year as requested. These include Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, military funerals and special events as

requested by the community.

5.5. Improper Uniform Wear. The cadet uniform represents the Army and the 6th AJROTC Battalion.

As a member of the battalion you are expected to wear it proudly and properly at all times. Cadets who

wear the uniform improperly or who remove the uniform without prior permission from the SAI or AI, will be

penalized as directed by the SAI.

a. Cadets may not remove ties/tabs, ACSU coats or ACU shirts without the permission of a

member of the faculty or other adult in a supervisory position (and then, only in common sense situations).

It is the cadet’s responsibility to ask permission first if the circumstances warrant.

b. Shoes, boots, trousers, etc, are not to be removed.

c. Cadets may not wear additional (unauthorized) clothing, hats, jewelry, or shoes—even after

having been inspected.

d. Whether on post, off post or on school grounds, cadets may only wear the cadet uniform as

prescribed.

CHAPTER 6

STANDARDS OF CONDUCT AND TRAINING

6.1. General. One of the objectives of the JROTC Program is to teach cadets to accept and have respect

for designated authority. To accomplish this, certain rules and regulations have been established that each

cadet is expected to follow. Organization and discipline must be observed for "designated authority" to

function. For this reason JROTC was established as a military organization. JROTC cadets are held to a

higher standard then are other high school students. These basic expectations are established to develop

appropriate standards of behavior.

a. Cadets are expected to be punctual to every class, formation, or function.

b. Cadets are expected to obey all lawful orders from persons in positions of authority.

c. Cadets do not offer excuses or alibis. Explanations may be offered if invited or with proper

permission.

6.2. Military Courtesy. Some customs are traditional within the military services. With this in mind,

cadets are expected to observe these customs, particularly when in uniform or when participating in JROTC

classes and activities.

a. Saluting. This is a traditional mark of respect and way of greeting in the military. Cadets will salute

all officers when in uniform and out-of-doors. An appropriate greeting, such as “Good Morning, Sir/Ma’am”

or “Good Afternoon, Sir/Ma'am” will accompany the salute.

b. Rank. Rank is important because it reflects experience, knowledge, ability, and responsibility.

Cadets are expected to learn both the cadet and active duty military rank structure, and to show respect for

those senior to them. Examples of this are:

(1) Using the correct title (Major, Lieutenant, Sergeant Major, Corporal).

(2) Saluting military officers.

(3) Walking to the left of the senior officer or NCO.

(4) Using "Sir/Ma'am", when addressing an officer or instructor, or any adult.

c. Military Honors. Cadets are expected to render honors (salute) to the colors (flag) and to

the National Anthem whether in uniform or civilian clothes.

d. Conversations with officers and instructors.

(1) In reply to a question a cadet uses “Sir/Ma'am” at the beginning or end of the

sentence.

(2) When asking a question or making a report, a cadet uses “Sir/Ma'am” at the

beginning of the sentence.

e. Reporting.

(1) Indoors - Knock on the door. When given permission to enter, move to a position

one step in front of the desk, salute and state "Sir/Ma'am, Cadet Smith reports." Hold your salute until it is

returned. Remain at attention and state your business. When dismissed, take one-step to the rear, salute,

execute an about face, and depart.

- 5 -

(2) Outdoors - When called by an officer or instructor, double time to a position two

steps in front of the person then follow the same procedure as for indoors.

6.3. Classroom Procedures and Rules of Conduct. All JROTC cadets are expected to observe the

proper rules of conduct.

a. The most senior member of the class is designated as the section leader and is responsible

for class conduct during the absence of the instructor (see para 2.7).

b. The section leader will ensure members of the class do not dawdle and move smartly to

building 8881. Cadets are considered to be “in class” while walking to and from building 8881 and the main

school building. Cadets are to be in place and ready for instruction no later than five (5) minutes after the

bell. Individuals putting up the flag are authorized an additional three (3) minutes.

c. The section leader will call the role (1st period will also read the daily bulletin), lead the class

in the Pledge of Allegiance, the Cadet Creed and report to the instructor. When dismissed by the instructor,

the section leader will call the class to attention and take charge of the section.

d. Senior cadets will assist in maintaining order during class.

e. All cadets are expected to bring an agenda, pencil (or pen), paper and all appropriate books

to all classes.

f. Cadets may use the bathroom--one at a time—with permission of the instructor. Cadets are

expected to return to their seats within 3 minutes.

g. Good order and discipline in the classroom is expected. Chewing gum, drink and food is not

permitted in the classroom. At the discretion of the instructor consumption of food and drink may be

authorized. Plain water is authorized at all times.

h. Sleeping in class is not allowed. Cadets who are ill will inform the instructor so they may be

sent to the nurse; cadets who are tired may stand at the rear of the classroom.

i. Cadets are not to sit or stand on top of desks or tables.

j. Talking during instruction or in formation is rude and will not be permitted.

k. Cadets are not to write on the board or mark on any document posted on the bulletin board

without permission from the instructor.

l. Cadets will use the north door to enter the building and classroom.

m. Once class has started, no cadet is expected to interrupt the class. If a cadet must speak

with the instructor or another cadet, the cadet will first make eye contact with the instructor and wait for the

instructor to acknowledge him or her.

n. The supply room, arms room and instructor office are not to be entered without permission.

Staff principals may enter the instructor office anytime in the performance of their duties.

o. Cadets will not leave books or personal items in the classroom, range or other parts of the

JROTC area. Staff members will not leave personal items in the desks or in/out boxes.

p. Vulgar or profane language, gestures, insulting or degrading remarks are not permitted.

Cadets will not wear clothing that is offensive to others. Horseplay or boisterous conduct in the classroom

or ranks will not be permitted.

- 5 -

q. At the end of the class period the section leader will ensure that all desks are straightened

and all loose paper and trash is picked up and placed in the trashcan. Cadets designated by the section

leader to perform this function will do so without argument.

6.4. Tardy Procedures. Cadets who report late to the classroom are tardy. Whether the cadet is

excused or not, he or she will follow the established procedures for reporting tardy to the class.

a. If the cadet arrives to the classroom after the class has been called to attention, the cadet

will wait in the hallway at parade rest. Once the command “seats” is given, the cadet may join the class—

after reporting to the instructor. Tardy cadets will not interrupt the opening unless directed by the

SAI/AI/leader.

b. The tardy cadet will present his or her absence slip (blue) to the instructor in the classroom.

Cadets who report late to class without an admit slip (from the office, attendance officer or member of the

faculty) may be sent back to school to obtain one. Notes from parents are not acceptable.

6.5. Weekly Training Schedule. Training schedules indicating a given weeks outline of instruction are

prepared and posted on the bulletin board. The training schedules are prepared by the Battalion S-3, under

the supervision of the SAI/AI. The training schedule informs cadets what material is to be taught, the

references that will be used and what the cadet must prepare prior to that day’s class.

6.6. Cadet Grading System. The grading scale used by the JROTC Department is the same as that

used by other departments of the school. The grading system used is designated to take into account the

broad diversity of activities in which each cadet is involved. Cadets will be graded on academic

achievement, conduct, attendance, inspections, and classroom participation. Each quarter cadets will

receive grades assessed as follows:

a. Tests (~35%). Quizzes, examinations and exercises based on class lessons. Cadets are

encouraged to take notes, complete assignments and prepare for tests.

b. Research Paper. Grades for research papers will be included with scores in 6.6a, above.

c. Uniform Inspection (~30%). Cadets are normally inspected once each week (see chapters

3, 4 and 5). If a cadet misses an inspection, he or she is expected to make it up the next time the class

meets.

d. Leadership/Citizenship (~35%). Each cadet is evaluated on his or her leadership ability and

conduct. First year cadets are not expected to perform to the same standard of leadership as more

experienced cadets; cadet officers and NCOs will be evaluated on the performance of their duties. Each

cadet’s behavior and participation in class will be graded. Those who actively participate and demonstrate

proper behavior will receive an “A.” Cadets who do less in class or refuse to participate, or who fool around,

misbehave, or are disrespectful, will receive a lesser grade as appropriate.

e. Attendance (Excused/Unexcused Absences/Tardys). Absence from daily affects a cadet’s

performance. Unexcused absences and tardies will disqualify cadets from receiving the attendance award.

f. If a cadet misses a graded exercise (exam, quiz, inspection, etc.) due to an excused

absence, the cadet will be given 1 school day per day absent to make up the missed work or else receive

a lesser grade. If a cadet misses a graded exercise because of an unexcused absence, this work cannot

be made up and a grade of “0” will be given. Arrangements for make up tests or other exercises must be

made by the cadet with the appropriate instructor. THIS IS THE INDIVIDUAL CADET's RESPONSIBILITY.

Failure to do so will result in a grade of “0” for the missed work.

6.7. Counseling. The SAI or AI will counsel any cadet with an average grade of “D” or “F” mid-way

through the quarter. Parents will be notified of the cadet’s below average academic standing. (See

chapter 12.)

CHAPTER 8

PROMOTION CRITERIA

8.1. General. Promotions of deserving cadet officers, noncommissioned officers and enlisted cadets are

based on recommendations of the chain of command, superior performance, and the needs of the battalion.

All promotions are subject to approval of the Senior Army Instructor. The Army JROTC program at

Baumholder American High School is designed to recognize the individual contributions by cadets with a

view on considering each cadet for promotion and assignment based on his or her overall performance.

8.2. Policy.

a. The following policies are established to provide a reasonably fair system of promotion and to

provide an orderly flow of experienced cadets:

(1) Except in exceptional or unusual circumstances, LET 1 (first year) cadets will not be

promoted higher than the rank of Cadet Sergeant. Normally, an average cadet can expect to advance to

Cadet Corporal after successfully completing one year in JROTC. Cadets who demonstrate outstanding

military bearing and leadership qualities and academic excellence may be considered for advancement to

Cadet Staff Sergeant.

(2) Except in exceptional or unusual circumstances, LET II (second year) cadets will not

be promoted higher than Cadet Second Lieutenant. Normally, second year cadets can expect to fill squad

leader and junior NCO positions. Second year cadets demonstrating outstanding military bearing and

leadership qualities and academic excellence may be promoted to Cadet Sergeant First Class. Only truly

outstanding second year cadets may be considered for advancement up to Cadet Second Lieutenant.

(3) Except in exceptional or unusual circumstances, LET III (third year) cadets will not

be promoted higher than Cadet Captain. Normally, third year cadets will fill senior NCO and junior officer

positions.

(4) LET IV (fourth year) cadets will be normally be assigned to cadet field grade officer

positions, principal battalion staff officer positions, company commanders, and command sergeant major.

(5) Seniors, who are LET IV cadets, are expected to fill the duty positions of battalion

commander and command sergeant major, with the commensurate ranks. The SAI may grant exceptions

to policy for truly exceptional LET II and III cadets as the situation dictates.

b. Criteria in paragraphs (1) through (4) above are not all-inclusive and are subject to change based

on cadet enrollment.

8.3. Promotion Criteria.

a. Generally promotions will be made from the Order of Merit List (see paragraph 8.4, below). Cadets

in good academic and disciplinary standing may expect to be promoted once each year. The rank and

number of promotions will depend on the needs of the battalion. A cadet will not necessarily be promoted

to the authorized rank of the battalion position he or she holds.

(1) “Good academic standing” for LET II, III, and IV cadets, and LET I cadets in the second

semester, is defined as an average of “C” (80%), 2.0 GPA and no “F’s”.

(2) “Good disciplinary standing” for all cadets is defined as zero unexcused absences or

tardies; school suspensions or disciplinary issues; and good behavior in the classroom. In addition,

- 5 -

candidates for promotion to senior NCO or officer ranks will have zero missed uniform inspections for a full

quarter.

b. First year cadets (LET I) may be promoted to Cadet Private 2 (CDT/PV2) or Cadet Private First

Class (CDT/PFC) after demonstrating ability to recite the Cadet Pledge, basic knowledge, and perform

basic drill.

c. All cadets are selected for further promotion based on academic standing, duty performance,

disciplinary standing and the needs of the cadet battalion.

d. In order to eligible for promotion to the noncommissioned officer and officer ranks, cadets must

successfully demonstrate knowledge of commands, drill and ceremony, JROTC knowledge, and battalion

procedures.

(1) Corporal. Effectively drill a squad, have 10 hours of voluntary service, score 90% on

the ACSU inspection, be able to lead the class in the opening and closing procedures.

(2) Sergeant. March a squad and have an addition 20 hours of community service.

(3) Staff Sergeant. Participate in a board; conduct a uniform inspection; 40 additional

e. The Battalion Command Sergeant Major will conduct a promotion board for candidates for

promotion to private2, private first class, corporal and sergeant..

f. Exceptions to this policy will be granted only by the SAI as the situation requires.

8.4. Authority. All final decisions on promotions will be made by the SAI.

- 5 -

CHAPTER 9

DEMOTION and RELIEF FROM DUTY POSITION

9.1. General. Three of the basic objectives of JROTC are to develop character and self-discipline, to

teach respect for authority, and to develop individual leadership capabilities. Cadets who fail to meet the

basic standards of performance that support these objectives may be demoted or relieved from a duty

position.

9.2. Cause.

a. Cadets failing to exercise proper decorum and strict adherence to AJROTC rules,

regulations, and standards may be reduced to the lowest cadet rank. Every effort will be made by the chain

of command and the cadre to support a misbehaving cadet prior to imposing a reduction in rank.

b. Being dropped from any class because of excessive absences.

c. Receipt of twenty (20) or more demerits.

d. Receiving a failing grade in more than one class.

e. Quitting or being removed from a position of responsibility.

f. Cheating on examinations.

g. Fighting.

h. Other causes for relief from duty position or reduction in rank will be closely monitored and

documented by the cadet chain of command in conjunction with the SAI/AI.

9.3. Procedures. The cadet chain-of-command will adhere to these procedures prior to a reduction in

rank or relief from duty position. (Counseling procedures are addressed in Chapter 12.)

a. Step one: Verbal counseling by the cadet’s immediate supervisor. A record of the

counseling will be made and provided to the company commander.

b. Step two: Written counseling statement by the company commander or battalion executive

officer if the cadet is a member of the battalion staff.

c. Step three: A review of the cadet’s entire record and AJROTC performance by the battalion

commander (to include a written counseling session with the cadet involved). After carefully reviewing all

available data, the battalion commander may:

(1) Admonish and warn the cadet in writing that any future infractions will immediately

precipitate recommendations to the SAI for a reduction in one or more grades.

(2) Recommend to the SAI that a cadet’s reduction in rank be suspended for a period

not to exceed sixty (60) days.

(3) Recommend to the SAI that the cadet be reduced one or more ranks. Prior to

forwarding the case to the SAI for action, the battalion commander will insure that all aspects of the case

are thoroughly documented including dates, witnesses, written counseling statements, and any other data

- 5 -

deemed appropriate. Any recommendations for reduction substantiated by generalities will be returned

without action.

4) The SAI will review all aspects of the case and act on the battalion commander’s

recommendations. After weighing all aspects of the case the SAI reserves the right to impose more lenient

or stringent punishment recommended by the battalion commander.

9.4. Authority. The SAI and AI (with the concurrence of the SAI) reserve the right to make exceptions

to and/or to circumvent procedures listed in paragraph 3 above for more serious and flagrant violations.

The SAI may:

a. Suspend the reduction in rank.

b. Immediately impose a reduction in rank to the lowest cadet rank.

c. Lower the cadet’s academic grade.

d. Recommend the cadet be eliminated from the JROTC program.

b. Awards will be presented at ceremonies to insure the widest publicity for the cadet and the

JROTC Program.

10.3. Award Criteria. Army Regulation 145-2 establishes the awards available for presentation to

deserving cadets who meet the required criteria. Medals for which a ribbon is also provided will not be

worn on an Army JROTC uniform when other ribbons are worn. Subsequent awards of the same decoration

will be a bronze (2d), silver (3d), or gold (4th) lamp for wear on the ribbon. There will be no more than four

CHAPTER 11

RECRUITING AND PUBLICITY PLAN

11.1 General. A vigorous and effective recruiting and publicity program is necessary to enhance the

image of the battalion and to educate potential cadets, parents, and faculty on the benefits of the JROTC

program.

11.2. Procedures. The following recruiting and publicity initiatives will be accomplished:

a. Cadets will be encouraged to invite friends and classmates to join the JROTC program.

Students in grades 9 and 10 will be primarily sought, but students in grades 11 and 12 will be accepted.

Eighth graders will be encouraged to join the informal program in the current year, or the formal program

the following year. Cadets who recruit a new cadet during a semester will be eligible for a JROTC

achievement ribbon (N-4-2) at the end of the new cadet’s first semester. Cadets claiming credit for

recruited cadets will complete the form at figure 11.1.

b. The SAI and AI will continually coordinate with the counselor to identify potential cadets.

c. During the second semester, a select number of motivated cadets will address 8th and 9th grade

students in classes coordinated by the SAI/AI.

d. The battalion will submit articles for the parents’ newsletter. Faculty and parents of cadets will

be encouraged to participate in all battalion activities.

e. Guest speakers will be invited to address cadet classes.

f. Cadets will wear the uniform once each week in order to obtain maximum exposure in the school.

g. The color guard, saber guard and drill team will support appropriate school and community
