Finally finished with AFJROTC for the app, but as you can tell by the current state of army, not only did I just start but I have no idea what the army jrotc regs are- Can I have some help? :D

Original post

So I’m an active duty service member, and here I am trying to spread awareness about a disgusting ROTC unit that I was part of in high school and get good advice for how to report the instructors, and here comes an ignorant cadet that thinks they outrank actual service members. I would like to thank everybody else who gave me really good advice on how to go about my situation, I am very thankful and appreciative of the support and advice that you all have given me and you all are exemplary examples of good ROTC cadets, but then there’s ignorant cadets like these that come along and shitbag and make all of you and your instructors look bad. This is disgusting behavior, y’all please get your cadet, because apparently they don’t know how to behave and wanna flash authority that they haven’t earned and don’t even have to begin with on actual service members. This is absolutely disgusting behavior from a cadet, if you agree, then do give feedback in the comments. I don’t support straight up bullying necessarily, but I do very well agree with teaching a lesson and giving constructive criticism, even if it’s not worded in the nicest way, because sometimes people need to learn the truth even if it’s given to them harshly.

So hes in the military. Chat im a Chief in the Navy. This boi is far under me and is trying to pull rank OVER THIS APP YOUR NOT IN MY ANYTHING. It started from him lying about something don't remember, but then he started to bully my little cousin for being a kid. That part happened on Facebook.

Is there any way I can keep this medal from sagging down like this? It looks really unprofessional and makes it look like the measurements are incorrect. Second image is me holding it up with my finger.

Don’t let this post’s title mislead you, I’m not talking about JROTC as a whole. However, I’ve graduated high school the school year before this school year and I was in AFJROTC for those four years, I along with many others weren’t treated well by our instructors though so unfortunately I didn’t have a very good experience. The unit I was with was NJ-932, and don’t let their cool unit emblem deceive you. This unit has done many messed up things to people. These issues still have gone unresolved. These issues have been going on for years and yet as far as I can tell it is either constantly done behind high school administrations back or high school administration does nothing about it, the Washington Township High School’s AFJROTC program (NJ-932) for years now has had issues with student mistreatment and as a prior cadet from that program, I have been there four years and it’s always been the same issues. I’m not going to provide names of students. These are problems that I wish I’ve addressed when I was a cadet but now I’m graduated from high school and am Active Duty military stationed across the country yet I’m still constantly hearing that the student-on-student harassment issue has continued to prevail and same for unprofessional conduct of the instructors. The SASI has always favorited people and not for reasons such as they’re the only ones that do work, but rather out of obvious sexism or just because they’re a member of a certain family that is part of their booster club that shouldn’t have as been granted way too much authority over the program by the SASI. For example, a prior cadet who was with this family graduated, then the program needed a fill-in teacher to monitor co-curricular activities, multiple others volunteered, even a prior-service USAF veteran, but for some reason the person that I was a student with for two years is now a fill-in teacher for a position they are not at all qualified for. This has resulted in the views of this person that isn’t even graduated from college yet and was only a student 2-3 years ago at the Washington Township High School to be viewed negatively as it is believed that the only reason for this is just to use it as a way to guarantee him a job in teaching. The fact that someone who is more qualified volunteered and was turned down for someone who is the same age as a fourth-year cadet absolutely astonishes me. Meanwhile we have a prior four-year cadet who is now U.S. Army infantry that was treated like garbage by the instructors without reason, from being used as a verbal punching bag, to being denied things purely because he was accused of things by one of the SASI’s favorites, he was treated like absolute trash the entire time there and it is absolutely disgusting. The SASI also doesn’t seem to take their job seriously, there were and I hear that there still is many days that they arrive late and leave very early, another issue with them is they treat their job and the cadets as more of a nuisance, there are many times they aren’t doing anything but then as soon as a cadet tries to ask them something they’ll start acting busy and sometimes even leave or will start ignoring you. There is a certain term within the U.S. military that starts with an “s” and ends with a “g” and this type of behavior is ABSOLUTELY unprofessional and disgusting from a retired Lieutenant Colonel and I believe misrepresents the mission and intent of the U.S. Air Force. Unfortunately nothing has ever of been done about the harassment of cadets by certain other cadets and this makes it seem as if it is influenced by the ASIs. There are many more examples of misconduct within NJ-932 AFJROTC, there has even been instances of ASIs throwing stuff towards students (items to include such things as chairs) and even ASIs using students as verbal stress balls with verbal mistreatment, but are far to many examples to list in one email. This behavior has always sickened me, I hope that one day the high school administration is held accountable and finally does something about it because this has gone on for WAY too long. The ASIs, especially the SASI has always liked blind loyalists that will sell out anyone including their friends just for a boost in JROTC (it’s literally just JROTC) because the SASI is lazy and makes these cadets do her job for her so that she can slime her way through to an easy pay check and pension. Last I heard from “friends,” they have either stopped talking to me because they sold their soul to the SASI, or they have dropped. All of the people left are loyalist cultists to the SASI and they are a cult that bullies other kids and the SASI has been starting to become disliked amongst other teachers last I heard. I have a friend who was recently bullied really bad by the absolutely sick SASI and her cultist brainwashed cadets. There is no God in this unit.

Former JROTC cadet from NC then later UK-073 out of RAF Lakenheath, England. Competed with the drill team, played sports, and somehow managed to balance academics too. Finished my senior year as the Corp Commander of my program. Got offered an Army ROTC scholarship right out of high school and commissioned in the US Army as a Logistics/EOD Officer. I recently promoted to Captain.

I’ve been reflecting on the last 8 years since I graduated high school and figured I’d offer advice, mentorship, and perspective to any Cadets wanting to walk in a similar path after high school. I was fortunate enough to have had great mentors along the way and would love to pass it on.

Hit me with questions- anywhere from my experience in college, scholarship/college applications, career ideas, etc. I’m game for almost anything!

I know a few things aren't positioned correctly but i just threw them together for a picture. Im also on track to become our JROTC's rifle team commander.

I left the Arcs that way because I recently went to JCLC and I except to the JCLC and one of my choosing.
