Standing Strong: NJROTC Annual Inspection Held (With Photo Gallery)

February 9, 2012

Northview High School’s NJROTC Annual Inspection was held Wednesday at the school, with cadets undergoing  face to face scrutiny.

The inspecting officer was Captain Maria Majar, MSC, Executive Officer for the Navy Medicine Operational Training Center in Pensacola. Accompanying her was the Command Master Chief, HMCM (SW) Timothy Perkett.

The day’s events began with a personnel inspection, drill demonstration and a pass-in-review in the school gym. Other events Wednesday included a financial record review, briefings, administrative inspections, supply inspections and more.

“I was absolutely impressed with all of the cadets,” Majar said. “They should all be very, very, extremely proud of themselves.”

    Elizabeth – not only does the Navy provide these uniforms, they are considered the property of the Navy. Any damage or loss is then paid for by the student as such. But cadets not only learn to wear the uniform, they are expected to conduct themselves well in their daily lives. This means earning good grades, being respectful to others, acting as a team with their fellow students. It’s not just a program for students who want to go into the military. It’s a program for students who want to perform to the best of their abilities. There’s more to it than meets the eye. Check it out, NJROTC just might be for you.

    Elizabeth, as the mother of 3 former Northview NJROTC Cadets I can tell you the US Navy provides the uniforms. The Cadets must learn to dress and properly care for their uniforms under ther direction of their NJROTC Instructors. Congrats to all the Northview NJROTC Cadets for a job well done. You deserve a “Super 10!”

    That is a good and fair question, Elizabeth. My son in currently in the NJROTC program @ Northview High School and he says that the US Navy provides the uniforms for the cadets in the program.

    Im not trying to provoke any type of argument; I’m just curious. Do NJROTC participants purchase these uniforms or are they provided by the school system or by the military? Just wondering.

    They all do look very good!
