How should the JROTC uniform be worn?

• A. With pride
• B. With sunglasses indoors
• C. Tangled and loose
• D. Backwards

Answer: (A)

Wearing the JROTC uniform with pride communicates respect for the program, the people you serve with, and the standards you’ve committed to uphold. When you wear it properly, you show attention to detail, discipline, and a sense of belonging to your unit, which is what the uniform is designed to convey.

That means the uniform should be clean, pressed, and properly fitted, with all parts in their correct places and your insignia, name tag, ribbons, and other decorations aligned as regulations specify. Accessories like sunglasses should be used only where allowed, and indoors they’re generally not appropriate, as they detract from a neat, professional appearance. Avoid tangles or loose fabric, and never wear the uniform backwards. When you carry yourself with good posture and a confident, respectful bearing, you’re fulfilling the purpose of wearing the uniform and representing your fellow cadets well.
