BLYTHEWOOD-- Colonel Charles White is the JROTC director and teacher. White teaches the JROTC students many things that can help them in the future.
With opportunities to work for the Navy, Air Force, the Marines, or the Army, Cornel White decided he wanted to serve in the Army.
When White was in high school and college teachers always talked about being prepared for interviews and questions. Because he didn't want to go through any of that he thought joining the Army would be best.
The Army helped him in life in many ways it taught him discipline, patience and other important things needed for the future.
“The name of the highest ranked person in the Army is called Army chief of staff and four-star General,” according to White. The Commanders have control over the whole Army.
“The Army teaches you how to be considerate of others and it helps you plan for the future,” White said. The Army helped him in life because once he got out of the Army he had money in the bank to spend for necessary things.
“To survive the Army you don’t just need to have skills you also need to be able to listen and follow instructions and have a desire to want to do better,” White said. Army life is fun and great it even provides opportunities to travel.
JROTC stands for Junior reserved officer training Corps(Core). The mission for JROTC is to motivate young people to be better citizens.
The founder of ROTC is Captain Alden Partridge. The university it was founded is was Norwich University.
