The mission of JROTC is to encourage young people to become better citizens. There's usually days for drill & ceremony, PT, uniform inspection, and academics. There are also teams that you choose to join after school such as Drill Team, Color Guard, Rifle Team, Raiders, etc. JROTC students are also usually in charge of flag detail (raising/lowering the US and state flag in front of the school) in the morning and afternoon. You get cords, ribbons, arches, and medals for joining teams, attending parades, getting good grades, etc. JROTC usually has a bunch of attractive, in-shape guys ;)
Kendra: Hey Jane, have you seen our battalion XO?
Jane: XO?
Kendra: Oh, right you're not in JROTC. Well, he's probably the hottest guy to ever walk the earth

A group that personifies the word "tool". Recruits strut around school acting like they're all badass and better than everyone else because of their uniform. However most of them (if not all) are pussies, so if you do indeed call them a tool to their face, don't expect them to do anything more than say something as original as "fag".
Hey look it's a group of JROTC! Fucking tools...

1. Stands for Juniors Reserve Training Corps. It is a mock-military program designed to teach kids about leadership. It allows kids to dress up and play in military uniforms while obtaining cadet ranks as they advance further into the program. It also delegates student leaders with "powers" over certain matters in regards to running a battalion while being supervised by retired military instructors.
2. Also known as "RO."
3. Allows kids to misuse their given powers for abusive and personal gain.
4. Known as "Jay rot sey" to the anti-war protesters.
The most overused description of JROTC is "RO is gay."
The one question people always ask people who are in JROTC uniforms is "Are you in RO?"
Quoted from an anti-war protester is "There are other alternatives other than Jayrotsey."

An elective in high school you can take simply for the high school credit. It counts as 1 practical arts credit per year. Everything military-esque that is done in the class is completly optional. A cadet does not have to wear his uniform if he/she does not want too; for example. Another thing that is often misunderstood is that by doing JROTC in high school you are NOT obligated to ANY sort of military commitment once you finish high school.
Guy: Hey man I see you're in JROTC, what branch are you going into when you graduate?
Guy2: Haha, you don't have to join the military if you're in JROTC, I'm just in it for the fun.

an elective class in high school in which all the students of that class wear the same uniform every wednesday.
it is, as most people agree, impossible to fail because there are no hard tests and all you have to do is shave and get a trim tuesday night, or whenever you want to before wednesday (as you have to to be "presentable).
when you join the class, all you can talk about is the class, and it reflects upon your conversational skills
the class teaches students to be like the air force, and the instructors take its campiness like its serious.
Fact: John Jay HS in San Antonio (Spurstown) has the largest Air Force ROTC unit anywhere
do not get into a fight with an ROTC cadet, as ROTC works like a gang, and every member will be on you
-Hey, you take JROTC
--yes
-I hate it, you're a dork for being in it, and i will punch you
--really?
-yup *punch*...oh crap!
*punch punch punch punch*
--do ya hate it now?!

A terribly corrupt and poorly undertaken attempt by the United States Military to indoctrinate and shelter teenagers too young to enlist. Classes cost more than the average high school class, teach racism and homophobia, have a generally sub-par curriculum, and promote violence.
Remember when two Arizona JROTC members dressed in fatigues and killed nine Buddhist monks after looting their temple?
Bill: Hey! I wanna join the JROTC!
Chris: I can't be friends with you anymore.
