Because of this the cadet's conduct should at all times be above reproach, with respect shown to family, teachers, school staff and peers. References include: The JROTC Cadet Creed, Army Leadership Values, LHS Student Handbook, Cadet Command Regulation (CCR) 145-2, paragraph 3-18. 2. CLASS ROOM: a. Classes will be considered in session with the ringing of the second bell, and calling the class to attention. Cadets are expected to be at their assigned seats, and to maintain a good posture. For the most part, classroom instruction will be informal unless otherwise indicated by the instructor. One may ask questions by raising his/her hand and being recognized by the instructor. During informal instruction, talking will be limited to discussing the current topic being taught. b. When addressing an instructor or responding to a question, cadets will stand and reply: "Sir or Ma'am" (if the instructor is an officer), and by their rank in the case of noncommissioned officers. When addressing an equal or subordinate, the cadet: will use rank and last name (i.e. Cadet Sergeant Jones or Lieutenant Smith). 3. EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: The same courtesies and standards of conduct observed for the classroom will be maintained for extracurricular activities with the following additions: a. When addressing an instructor or superior cadet, you will stand at attention until told otherwise. b. Salutes will be exchanged outside and during indoor ceremonies and inspections. c. Cadets will utilize the cadet chain of command for all questions and requests. 4.

ANNEX D -PROMOTIONS AND REDUCTIONS

1. PURPOSE: This annex establishes the policy on promotions and reductions within the LHS JROTC Wampus Cat Battalion.

2. GENERAL: During a school year, cadets will generally be promoted to PV2 thru CPL the first year, providing the cadet meets academic and discipline standards. LET II's through IV's not earning a leadership position will maintain their current rank, but will not be eligible for promotion, unless their rank is below that of their year group. Additionally, a cadet must have demonstrated the qualities required of the position for which recommended, and a vacancy must exist in the grade for which recommended to earn a promotion. When a cadet is considered for promotion all of his/her characteristics will be evaluated. When promoted, he/she must perform in a satisfactory manner in order to retain the rank.Company commanders will use the chain of command for recommending promotions and reductions.

3. OPERATIONS. The S1 will record all promotions and reductions in the JUMS cadet records. The S1 or company XO will create, print,read the promotion orders, and collect the appropriate rank for presentation during company promotion ceremonies.

4. PROCESS: Battalion Leadership - Submitting the Promotions Request

Squad Leaders/Platoon Sergeants/Platoon Leaders should recognize that they have a Cadet eligible for a promotion by becoming familiar with the promotion system and by updating and maintaining their Cadet Information sheet, and recommending their cadets for promotions to the Company XO.

Company XO should consult the Company Commander about the recommended promotion, and wait for the Commander’s approval to submit a promotion request. Once the cadet is approved, the XO is responsible for filling out the Personnel Actions Request and presenting it to the Commander for their signature.

Company Commander should determine if the cadet is equipped for a promotion and determine what rank by consulting their Company XO, their instructor, and the Colonel.

See the “Promotions Procedure System” document for further information, located on the S1 flash drive, in the folder “S1 SOP”, and then click the folder “2-Promotion SOP”. If the cadet and rank of promotion are approved, the Commander must sign the Personnel Actions Request that the XO has filled out and submit that form to the S1.

o If the cadet is not fit for a promotion- the Commander and XO should determine why that cadet should not be promoted, and what they could possibly do to help that cadet reach a promotion. This might include counseling, positive peer pressure, or giving the cadet new challenges to complete. However, it is the cadet’s responsibility to work hard to achieve a promotion, not the Commander’s.

S1 is responsible for checking their Personnel Actions Request every day. They should leave the folder in their box, preferably with new Request forms available to the Company XOs, and easy to find so that the XOs know where to submit the orders. Once the order is submitted, the S1 should review the cadet’s qualifications and determine

21


whether the cadet is suitable for that promotion. If the cadet is qualified for the promotion, the request should be signed and submitted to the Battalion Commander. If the cadet is not qualified, the request should be submitted back to the Company Commander with an explanation as to why they will not be promoted.

After the Battalion Commander has approved and signed the Personnel Action Request, it is the S1’s job to present the request to the cadet’s instructor, or AI (Army Instructor). After the AI has approved and signed the cadet’s promotion, the S1 will present the request to the Senior Army Instructor, or SAI (Colonel).

After the Personnel Action Request has been approved and signed by the Chain of Command, the S1 is responsible for entering the new promotion into the JUMS system and publishing the orders to the S4.

5. REDUCTIONS: Cadets may be reduced for the following reasons: INEFFICIENCY (Failure to perform the duties expected of the rank held), MISCONDUCT (Conduct unbecoming of a cadet), and GRADES (Failure to attain and maintain a "C" or above average in JROTC and/or listed on the school D and F report for more than 3 weeks).The reduction authority is the Senior Army Instructor.
