One of the greatest achievements in the out nation was the creation of the JROTC program. JROTC has been around for a hundred years and many things have changed. Some changes may be small while others are large. Although JROTC has been around for 100 years it has had a long past, a productive present, and a future that many can look forward to.

JROTC’s future seems bright due to its goals and success. The future may be bright but some programs were cut. There are a couple areas that had their JROTC program cut due to budgets in school (http://captalk.net/index.php?topic=18084.0). Although some were cut there are still many programs out there.

In conclusion JROTC has had a great history, a powerful present, a bright future that will still continue to burn in improving our society in citizenship and
