     NJROTC programs are unique.  If you don't feel like you fit in anywhere else you're the perfect fit!

 

     The Mustang Cadets are a Top Performing, Cadet Driven Unit. As one of the best NJROTC units in all of Georgia and Northeast Florida(Duval, Clay and St. Johns Counties) we are hard working and deidicated. We've been designated as a Distinguished Unit for the 6th consecutive year. Our cadets perform at the National level in three of the four activiites offered to NJROTC Units. Last years achievements include National Champions and Area-12 Champions in Acacdemics, Area-12 Champions in Sporter Rifle, 2nd Place in Area-12 Drill Championship (National Invite) and the Orienteering Team finished well within the top ten and the Area-12 Championship. Our cadets compete to win!     

 

 

 

 

     The NJROTC program is conducted at accredited secondary schools throughout the nation, by instructors who are retired Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard officers and enlisted personnel. The NJROTC curriculum emphasizes citizenship and leadership development, as well as our maritime heritage, the significance of sea power, and naval topics such as the fundamentals of naval operations, seamanship, navigation and meteorology. Classroom instruction is augmented throughout the year by community service activities, drill competition, field meets, flights, visits to naval installations, marksmanship training, and other military training. Uniforms, textbooks, and training aids are provided by the Navy.
