More than half a million high school
students are enrolled in over 3,000
JROTC programs world wide.4

The JROTC program was the brainchild of
Army inspector LT Edgar R. Stevens, who
in 1911 chose to begin teaching high
school students the values and discipline
of a military life in the hope of molding
these students into better citizens.
6
The JROTC program was established with
the signing of the National Defense Act of
1916, and the first program began at
Levenworth High School, Kansas in 1917.

9
After the first and second World Wars, the
JROTC program saw little to no growth due
to limited funding and personnel.
WW I WW II
10
This lack of growth
prompted Congress to
pass the JROTC
Vitalization Act of 1964,
which allowed the other
service branches to offer
JROTC as well. The first
Navy Junior Reserve
Officers Training Corps
(NJROTC) programs
began in 1966.
10
11
Today there are 620 NJROTC programs in the
United States, Japan, Italy, and Spain.
12
The JROTC Vitalization Act, charges
the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV)
with the maintenance and continued
support of the JROTC program.
13
To this end, the Naval Service Training
Command (NSTC) was established in
Great Lakes, Illinois. The program’s
office is located in Pensacola, Florida.

B. Honor
C. Courage
D. Honesty
As a cadet, what core value do you
demonstrate when you think, “I am
privileged to serve my fellow

Four patterns of
behaviors that
detract from core
values include:
• Hazing
• Discrimination
• Sexual
harassment
• Fraternization
Behaviors That Detract
From Navy Core Values
98
99
Hazing is any conduct that causes
another person to suffer or be
exposed to an activity that is:
• Cruel
• Abusive
• Humiliating
• Oppressive
• Demeaning
• Harmful
100
People think of hazing as something
college fraternities do, but it can also
take place in any kind of organization,
including NJROTC.
101
Hazing is particularly
damaging at the high
school level because
teenagers are
extremely vulnerable
to peer pressure due
to a heightened need
for:
• Friendship
• Approval
• Acceptance
102
BE CAREFUL – you could be
vulnerable to peer pressure, which
can lead you to do foolish or even
dangerous things you would
otherwise avoid.
103
A. bullying
B. carelessness
C. peer pressure
D. alienation
Because teenagers want friendship,
approval, and acceptance, they are
vulnerable to _______ which can
cause them to do something
dangerous or foolish that they would
otherwise not do.
104
A. bullying
B. carelessness
C. peer pressure
D. alienation
Because teenagers want friendship,
approval, and acceptance, they are
vulnerable to _______ which can
cause them to do something
dangerous or foolish that they would
otherwise not do.
105
It is any act that denies equal
treatment to individuals because
of their race, gender, ethnicity,
religion or other differences.
Discrimination
106
Sexual
harassment is
a particular
form of gender
discrimination.
107
It involves unwanted sexual advances,
direct or indirect requests for sexual
favors, verbal or physical conduct of a
sexual nature, or creating an
atmosphere of fear and distrust.
Sexual Harassment
108
It is an inappropriate relationship
between a superior and a subordinate
that could result in favoritism or
discipline problems on the job.
Fraternization
109
NJROTC does not have a fraternization
policy for cadets as strict as the Navy’s
for its members, BUT . . .
110
Cadet officers and subordinates should avoid
friendships or romantic involvement that
could create unfairness or favoritism or just
the perception of unfairness or favoritism.110
111
A. Fraternization
B. Sexual harassment
C. Discrimination
D. Hazing
What term is used to refer to a lack of
equal treatment of people because of
racial, gender, ethnic, or religious

112
A. Fraternization
B. Sexual harassment
C. Discrimination
D. Hazing
What term is used to refer to a lack of
equal treatment of people because of
racial, gender, ethnic, or religious
differences?
113
These four
behaviors - hazing,
discrimination,
sexual harassment,
and fraternization
violate the Navy
core values. By
following the core
values you will
avoid the four
behaviors.
113
114
HONOR - If you
value your
sense of honor,
you won’t want
to haze or
harass anyone.
115
COURAGE – If you have the courage to
resist peer pressure, you will be able to
avoid misbehavior and even talk others
out of it.
115
116
COMMITMENT – If you are committed
to respect for other people, these
behaviors will simply lose their appeal.
117
True or False: Mastery of core values
requires a conscious effort, but
eventually you will be able to act
instinctively on these values.

area.
When You Get Into A Gray Area
126
127
Always! Have the courage to examine
whether your own behavior is honorable.
If not, commit to changing it. If your
fellow cadets act in questionable ways,
have the courage to tell them.
Core values can help you navigate around
moral or ethical gray areas.
