Classroom Procedures
1. Bring textbooks, notebooks, and pen or pencil to every class. Many
times cadets will be required to take notes.
2. When entering the classroom, go directly to your seat. All socializing
will take place during the passing period before and after class.
3. All head calls (bathroom breaks) will be made before or after class.
No head calls will be authorized during class except in cases of
emergency.
4. Uniforms will be worn as directed by the SMI. Green PT shirts and
shorts, or sweatpants, is the PT uniform provided but is not required .
Each cadet is responsible for reading the daily information book inorder to keep informed on what is going on. Not reading the book is
no excuse for not knowing what is required of you during the next
class period.
5. No cadets are allowed in the Cadet Admin Office, Armory, or Supply
Areas without specific approval of the instructors.
6. The office telephones are business phones only. They may, if
absolutely necessary, be used by cadets with permission of the SMI orMI. No routine calls may be made from these phones. Calls may be
made once permission is granted and must be limited to two (2)
minutes.
7. Cadets are expected to conduct themselves with proper decorum at all
times in school, and especially within the MCJROTC spaces.
Attendance
Cadets are expected to attend all JROTC functions. This includes
everything from daily classes to extracurricular activities and special events.
Cadets should anticipate, as much as possible, when they will not be able to
attend a JROTC requirement in order to let the instructors know in advance.

CONDUCT, BEARING & DISCIPLINE
School Citizenship
Marine Corps JROTC cadets are high school students. They are fully
expected to conduct themselves in accordance with all school rules and
regulations. Any cadet failing to maintain higher standards of conduct and
citizenship will not be permitted to remain in the Marine Corps JROTC
program.
Public Displays of Affection
Cadets will not display any gestures of affection in school or on school
grounds. This holds especially true when in uniform and pertains to kissing,
embracing, holding hands, or other forms of intimate behavior. Affection
between a man and a woman should be a private matter, and as such any
displays of affection should be done in private. Cadets who think they are
showing off their maturity by kissing and hugging in public are really only
displaying a lack of maturity and risking a lower Marine Corps JROTC
leadership grade for their conduct.
The Mexico High School Policy of Affection is: conspicuous displays of
affection by students in a school are an unacceptable behavior, which is
offensive to staff members and students who are exposed to that behavior.
Students who persistently engage in displays of affection in school may be
subject to disciplinary action as well as contacting home to inform parents of
the problem. Holding hands is not an inappropriate display of affection.
However, kissing and fondling another person are behaviors that are not
appropriate for the school environment.

CURRICULUM / ACADEMICS
School Academics
All Marine Corps JROTC cadets are required to maintain a satisfactory
grade point average (GPA) in all their school subjects in order to remain in
the MCJROTC program. Failure to maintain a minimum GPA, as
determined by the SMI and approved by the principal, will put the cadet on
immediate probation during the next semester. If this happens the cadet may
be limited in what activities he or she may participate in. If the cadet fails to
raise his or her grade to the required level during the next semester, the cadet
will be suspended from MCJROTC and required to turn in all uniforms and
stop any participation in MCJROTC. If the cadet raises his or her GPA
during the probationary period, the cadet will be allowed to resume fullactivities.
Cadet Curriculum
Leadership Education is the name of the MCJROTC curriculum because we
use the tenants of Marine Corps leadership to teach and develop a sense of
responsibility, loyalty, discipline and character in cadets. Throughout thefour years of the program, the Leadership Education curriculum is presented
by the five (5) different categories of instruction. Those categories are:
1. Leadership
2. Citizenship
3. Personal Growth and Responsibility
4. Public Service and Career Exploration
5. General Military Subjects.

Cadet Participation
Cadets of the MCJROTC Program will participate in a Leadership Education
level as dictated by the number of years in the program the cadet has
completed. Naturally, LE-1 is for those students entering the program forthe first time, while LE-4 is for the cadets who have successfully completed
LE-1 through LE-3.
1. Leadership Education I (LE-1)
The first year of the program provides cadets with an introduction to both
leadership and citizenship. The first year also gives the new cadets exposure
to personal growth and responsibility and establishes a foundation of
military structure and tradition.
2. Leadership Education II (LE-2)
The second year continues the leadership and citizenship classes of LE-1.
During LE-2, the students receive instructions in General Military Subjects
with more structure and tradition than in LE-1, as well as the introduction of
civilian marksmanship training and land navigation training with the map
and compass. This year also provides additional learning experiences in
personal growth and responsibility, as well as citizenship.
3. Leadership Training III (LE-3)
In LE-3, cadets will begin to use their leadership training as they assumepositions of increased authority and responsibility within the program. In
this year also, detailed instruction on personal finances is presented, as well
as other preparation for life beyond high school.
4. Leadership Training IV (LE-4)
LE-4 is a year when cadets really bring together all their previous learning
experiences in the MCJROTC program. Senior cadets will conduct
formations and inspections, as well as supervise certain training events with
younger cadets. LE-4 cadets continued to be challenged academically with
requirements for research projects and independent studies and progress
reports.

Grading
Cadets of Marine Corps JROTC will be graded in multiple areas of the
program. The academic curriculum portion of the program will be graded
very much like other traditional high school classes. However, as part oftheir overall MCJROTC grade, cadets will also be observed, evaluated and
graded on their leadership performance. Leadership performance will
encompass carrying out ones cadet duties and it will also cover participation
in citizenship activities and other MCJROTC activities.

ACTIVITIES EXTRACURRICULAR
DrillDrill is an integral part of the Marine Corps Junior ROTC program. Drill
teaches good discipline, enhances concentration and builds esprit de corps in
a unit. In addition to being a part of the MCJORTC cadet curriculum, a drill
team and drill competition is a very worthwhile cadet activity. Drill
competition may be conducted from the local to the competitive national
level. Not all cadets will qualify to be a member of the Marine Corps
JROTC drill team. Membership on the drill team requires a great deal of
dedication and practice.
1. All members of the MCJROTC Drill Team will conduct themselves
in a manner as to not bring any discredit upon themselves or the drill
team.
2. All members are solely responsible for their uniform and the
maintenance of their uniform. Failure to do so will result in reduction
of rank, disqualification from the coming trip / competitions and
finally suspension from the team.
3. Alcohol, drugs and tobacco are strictly prohibited!
4. Team members must maintain the same academic standards as any
other varsity sport to maintain their eligibility to compete.
5. Treat all weapons with respect and proper weapons handing
techniques.
6. Profanity will not be tolerated.
7. Remember that you are what you are perceived to be and first
impressions are lasting impressions.
8. Unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated.
9. Treat all faculty, staff and coaches with respect.
24
8/7/2019 Senior cadet handbook 2010-2011
25/54
10. Any infractions of this code may result in suspension or expulsion
from the team.
Marksmanship
Marksmanship is an exciting and rewarding sport, yet it demands the
ultimate indiscipline and concentration. A cadet does not have to be big or
strong or fast to be an outstanding marksman. Some Marine Corps JROTC
units are not able to have marksmanship as a part of their curriculum.
However, those units which are able to conduct marksmanship training have
a great opportunity to learn a sport which they can enjoy the rest of their
lives. Cadets must always realize that while firing an air rifle is a
challenging and fun activity, it is never a game and must always be takenseriously. Safety must always be first and foremost in Marine Corps
JROTC marksmanship. This applies to marksmanship in the classroom
curriculum, as well as on a competitive marksmanship team.
Marksmanship Weapons Procedures
1. Issue Procedures
a. Cadets to be issued weapons will form a single line outside
the Arms Room. Order in this line will be
maintained by the class commander.
b. Once in the hands of the cadets, the class commander will
assist the MI in seeing that all weapons are
physically controlled at all times.
c. If weapons are used, the class commander will assist the
MI in returning weapons to the Arms Room and
conducting a count at the end of each class
period.
25

43
8/7/2019 Senior cadet handbook 2010-2011
44/54
2. It is not necessary for the commander to also execute stationary drill
movements when there are a series of stationary movements.
However, if giving a unit a facing movement in preparation to giving
the command Forward, March, the commander would face with the
unit as well.
3. Officers for stationary movements, command from six (6) paces and
centered on the formation.
Enlisted Command from three (3) paces and centered on the
formation.
4. For column marching movement, command from 2/3 of the way back
so that 1/3 of the platoon is behind you (and closest to you), can hear
you, yet 2/3 of the platoon in front of you can hear you because your
voice is being projected forward.
5. For flanking movements, command from either flank.
6. The general rule of thumb is to command from the location you can
best exercise commands from
7. There are three (3) types of commands:
A. Preparatory Command - IE Righttttt ..
This command tells them what they are about to do. Your
voice rises just a little bit, then pauses.
B. Command of execution - IE Face
C. Supplementary Command - Command that is given after the
command of troops to small units normally done during
parades and reviews.
