Chapter 1

General

1. Background

a. The enactment of reference (a) and codification in references (b) and

(c) authorize the Secretary of the Navy to commission Marine Corps Junior

Reserve Officers' Training Corps (MCJROTC) units at secondary schools that

meet established criteria. Further, the National Defense Appropriations Act

of 2008, Title III, subsection 377 authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to

establish and disestablish National Defense Cadet Corps Units. Accordingly,

the Secretary of the Navy has authorized the Commandant of the Marine Corps

(CMC) to establish and disestablish MCJROTC and MCNDCC units throughout the

United States. Generally the procedures outlined in this order are pertinent

to both MCJROTC and MCNDCC programs unless otherwise noted.

b. It is Department of Defense (DOD) policy to fund the JROTC program

which is intended to instill in students of American secondary institutions

the following:

(1) The value of citizenship.

(2) Service to the United States.

(3) Personal responsibility.

(4) A sense of accomplishment.

c. The Commanding General, Training and Education Command (CG, TECOM C

46JR) is the responsible Commander. In this capacity, the Commanding General

is guided in policy development and program execution by Section 2032 of

reference (b) ‘Responsibility of the Secretaries of the military departments

to maximize enrollment and enhance efficiency” which states:

“The Secretary of each military department, in establishing,

maintaining, transferring, and terminating Junior Reserve

Officers' Training Corps units under section 2031 of this title,

shall do so in a coordinated manner that is designed to maximize

enrollment in the Corps and to enhance administrative efficiency

in the management of the Corps.”

2. Objectives

. In order to fulfill its mission, the MCJROTC program achieves

the following objectives:

a. Gives students an appreciation for the origin, advantages and

responsibilities of citizenship.

b. Develops an understanding of leadership skills and the advantages of

strong moral character.

c. Promotes in the students an understanding for the need and application

of national security.

d. Develops in students a sense of pride and personal discipline and

responsibility.

e. Develops an understanding and respect for constitutional authority as

the foundation of a democratic society.

Chapter 2

Establishment

1. School Application

a. A MCJROTC unit is established or disestablished by the CMC with the

approval of the Secretary of the Navy. A school desiring to host a unit must

be fully accredited by the appropriate state or regional accrediting agency.

b. Officials of secondary schools interested in applying for

establishment of an MCJROTC unit should obtain a copy of the MCJROTC

application form available on the MCJROTC website or from TECOM (C 46JR).

(1) Upon receipt of an application, the Program Director will

ascertain if the school has the requisite support available and is prepared to

execute the MCJROTC curriculum without exclusion. If so, the Program Director

will direct the MCJROTC Regional Director to conduct an on-site evaluation of

the school and its proposed facilities. The MCJROTC Regional Director will

notify the Program Director of all findings upon completion of the on-site

evaluation.

(2) CG TECOM will select secondary institutions in accordance with

references (b) and (c) and make a recommendation to the Secretary of the Navy

for MCJROTC unit establishment. Announcement of selection will be made by the

CG, TECOM following the Secretary of the Navy’s approval.

2. Contract Requirements

. Under reference (b), a school at which a MCJROTC

unit is to be established will be required to enter into the following

agreement with the Department of Defense:

a. Secondary educational institutions desiring to establish JROTC units

or to continue established units shall agree to the following:

(1) Maintain a JROTC enrollment of 10 percent of the number of

students enrolled in the institution who are in a grade above the eighth

grade, or 100, whichever is less.

(2) Employ as JROTC instructors, officer and enlisted personnel who

are certified by CG, TECOM to administer the MCJROTC program. The secondary

institution shall employ, at a minimum, one SMI and one MI regardless of cadet

enrollment.

(a) Units will be authorized one SMI per every 750 enrolled

MCJROTC cadets or a fraction thereof.

(b) Units are authorized one MI billet. Additional MI’s may be

authorized by the Program Director. As a general rule, one instructor per 75

cadets is the staffing goal with each instructor assigned to a minimum of 75%

of available class periods. Thus a sustained cadet population generally

reflecting the above proportion coupled with each instructor formally assigned

to 75% of the available instructional periods constitutes the usual minimum

threshold for assignment of an additional military instructor.

(c) The enrollment minimum is required for “students in seats”.

Although, in extreme cases there is some latitude to assign students to

independent study, this policy is highly restrictive in nature. Thus,

assignment of students to independent study must withstand evaluative scrutiny

conducted by the Regional Director. For example, a candidate for independent

study might be a senior who is filling a leadership function within the unit

who requires a single academic course for graduation that precludes assignment

2-1 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

to JROTC. These students still are required to meet program grooming and

uniform standards.

(d) Enrollment is only one prerequisite for additional instructor

labor. It is expected that every instructor will be formally assigned to and

actively engaged in classroom instruction at least 75% of the instructional

day. In addition, the extent of the unit’s sustained co-curricular history

will influence the decision process. Any program that does not have a robust

co-curricular program will not be a viable candidate for increased instructor

labor. Lack of viable drill, rifle, or orienteering teams and limited

community service mitigate against additional instructor labor. These factors

must withstand scrutiny of the Regional Director during an on-site evaluation

of class rosters, training schedules, and any other anecdotal information

gathered.

(e) As an exception, the Program Director may authorize

substitution of officer for enlisted instructors and vice versa.

(f) All minimum enrollment requirements for additional SMI and MI

billets will be maintained throughout the school year. Failure to do so may

result in the immediate loss of authorization and reimbursement for the

additional instructor billets.

(g) Requests for additional instructors will be submitted to the

Program Director via the appropriate MCJROTC Regional Director.

(3) Pay Retired Personnel So Employed

(a) The institution is the employing agency and shall pay the

full amount due the JROTC instructor. The JROTC instructor shall receive

retired or retainer pay from the U.S. Government. As a minimum, the amount

due from the institution is the amount equal to the difference between retired

or retainer pay and the active duty pay and allowances the JROTC instructor

would receive if ordered to active duty. The institution shall be reimbursed

for JROTC instructor salaries at the rate of one-half the difference of

instructor retirement or retainer pay and active duty pay and allowances. The

level of active duty pay and allowances, less retired or retainer pay, is the

minimum salary the institution shall pay JROTC instructors. That should not

be considered an attempt to cap or limit the amount of pay that may be agreed

between the individual JROTC instructor and the employer. The institution may

pay more than the amount equal to the difference between retired or retainer

pay and individual active duty pay and allowance rate, but shall do so without

additional entitlement for reimbursement from the Federal Government. Pay

computation examples can be found in reference (c).

(4) Contract separately with the individual JROTC instructor for any

additional duties desired by the institution besides instruction, operation,

and administration of the JROTC program, at no cost to the Military Department

concerned. Such additional services shall be performed outside the scope of

JROTC duties and hours. This requirement does not prevent JROTC instructors

from serving on routine committees or performing curricular or extracurricular

duties normally performed by and rotated among other faculty members.

(5) Compensate a JROTC instructor only for the period of time he or

she performs duties as a JROTC instructor. For periods of service as a JROTC

instructor fewer than 12 months of a calendar or fiscal year, that instructor

shall be compensated the difference between the amount of the retirement (or

retainer) pay and active duty pay times the length of employment as a JROTC

instructor expressed as a fraction of 12 months. The minimum individual

instructor contract is 10 months.

2-2 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

(6) Provide an additional amount of compensation for a JROTC

instructor for only that part of the summer (or interim) months, between

academic sessions, during which the instructor performs administrative or

instructional duties that are directly for the JROTC program. Examples of

these duties can be found in reference (c).

(7) Notify TECOM (C 46JR) within 30 days of any changes to employment

status of MCJROTC personnel employed at an institution via a DD Form 2767. DD

Form 2767 may be obtained on the Official Department of Defense Website for

DOD issuances at http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/index.html.

Schools/school districts should submit the form on the following occasions:

(a) Hiring of an Instructor

. Forward to the MCJROTC Finance

Section the original, facsimile or digital copy of DD Form 2767 within 30 days

of employment. Complete all identifying instructor information; last name,

first name, middle initial, but only use the last 4 digits of the instructor’s

SSN. Reimbursements for an instructor will be held in abeyance until the

supporting form is received by the MCJROTC Finance Section. Block 10 may be

left empty on a newly hired instructor if continuation of the contract into

the upcoming school year is undetermined at time of initial hire.

(b) Transfer

. Both gaining and losing schools shall forward to

the MCJROTC Finance Section the original, facsimile or digital copy of the DD

Form 2767 within 30 days of employment or termination. Complete all

identifying instructor information; last name, first name, middle initial, but

only use the last 4 digits of the instructor’s SSN. The losing school shall

modify the contract ending date, and the gaining school will complete a new

form as discussed above in “Hiring of an Instructor”. Reimbursement for an

instructor at the gaining school will be held in abeyance until the supporting

form is received by the MCJROTC Finance Section. Overpayment to the losing

school will subject future payments be held in abeyance until any overpayment

is collected/satisfied.

(c) Termination

. Termination of an instructor not of a routine

nature described above requires submission of a DD Form 2767. Current or

upcoming contract ending dates will be modified to reflect the termination

information. If assistance is required in determining correct dates to

modify, contact the MCJORTC Finance Section.

(d) Annually

. Each school shall submit instructor/school

contract information for the upcoming school year no later than the 15th of

May of each year. Utilize a current instructor earnings statement for

“current” contract start and stop dates in order to complete blocks 9.a. and

9.b. Blocks 10.a. and 10.b. will identify the upcoming school contract dates.

Forms submitted with dates listed in block 9/a. and 9.b. that do not coincide

with the “Contract Start Date” and “Contract Stop Date” listed on an

instructor’s monthly earnings statement will be returned for correction, and

may delay school reimbursement.

Note: Instructors should be given a copy of the completed and signed DD Form

2767 for retention in the instructor’s personal files as the MCJROTC Finance

Section may request a copy of the DD Form 2767 from the instructor.

(8) Provide suitable safeguards for the Government property provided.

Such safeguards shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

(a) Employment of clerical and maintenance personnel required to

issue, account for, and maintain the Government property.

(b) Specific “line item” coverage for loss and damage of all

government property assigned to that school’s MCJROTC unit is required (bonds,

2-3 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

insurance, etc.) Specific coverage must be in an amount commensurate with the

total monetary value of MCJROTC property. This coverage should be evaluated

annually in order to ensure the amount of coverage remains adequate. Coverage

under a school district “umbrella policy” is not adequate.

(c) Secure Storage for All Government Property. JROTC units that

have U.S. furnished military demilitarized rifles in their inventory shall be

inspected for physical security. Established security standards for arms

rooms shall be in compliance with reference (e).

(9) Provide positive safeguards to prevent unlawful discrimination

against students or instructors based on race and/or ethnicity, religion,

national origin or gender.

(10) Provide for the installation and all ensuing costs associated

with the program’s communication systems. Communication systems must be

located within the instructors’ offices, and are, but not limited to,

telephone lines, email accounts, and internet access.

(11) Provide adequate facilities for classroom instruction, office

space, and storage for unit equipment and adequate and suitably located drill

areas. Such facilities include:

(a) Office Space

. Adequate space for the military staff to

accommodate files and reference books. The SMI should be provided a private

office.

(b) Storage

. Adequate storage must be provided for the handling

of Government property. The following areas will be provided:

1

. Property Storage. 1000 square feet per 100 to 150

enrolled MCJROTC cadets.

2

. Storage for Training Aids. 300 square feet per 100 to

150 enrolled MCJROTC cadets.

(c) Armories

. The school must make provision for a suitable

armory to ensure adequate safeguarding of all Government property. If

demilitarized M-14’s are issued to the MCJROTC unit per reference (e),

security regulations require:

1

. A door that is constructed of standard 1 3/4-inch (5cm)

thick, hollow metal, industrial type construction with minimum 14-gauge skin

plate thickness, internally reinforced vertically with continuous steel

stiffeners.

2

. Doors which provide access to the arms storage room will

be locked with a high security padlock and hasp or locking device.

3

. At a minimum, walls will be of standard stud construction:

2x4 studs on 16-inch centers with gypsum board or plaster surface. The

interior will be lined with one inch (nominal), double nailed, tongue and

groove wood sheathing or other material which provides a similar degree of

security, e.g., 3/4-inch plywood.

4

MCJROTC units will use a range that is certified by the Regional

Director to meet or exceed the safety criteria of this system for the conduct

of marksmanship training and MCJROTC hosted marksmanship competitions.

(e) Drill Spaces

. A convenient, surfaced area should be selected

as a drill site. Physical size of the site is dependent on unit cadet

strength but should not be less than 80’ x 40’.

(f) Classroom

. The Marine Corps JROTC program requires a minimum

classroom space of at least 26’ by 50’ comprised of either two classrooms or a

(11) That no member of or delegate to Congress, or resident

commissioner shall be admitted to any share or part of this contract, or to

any benefit that may arise to this contract if made with a corporation for its

general benefit.

(12) That notwithstanding any agreement by the Marine Corps respecting

the certification or pay of instructors, the host school and not the Marine

Corps or any agency or part of the Federal Government is the employer of each

MCJROTC instructor. Specifically, MCJROTC instructors are not employees of

the Marine Corps or of the Federal Government within the meaning of the

Federal Torts Claims Act, and nothing in this information, application or

agreement, will be construed to the contrary. The host school may be liable

at law for tortuous acts of MCJROTC instructors within the scope of their

employment, depending on the applicable law of the jurisdiction.

3. Actions Required for Unit Activation

a. General

. Certain actions must be completed prior to actual

commencement of military instruction. Responsibility for these actions is

divided among the TECOM and the host school. The following paragraphs list

the required actions in sequence for each agency.

2-8 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

b. TECOM for MCJROTC Units

(1) Once sustainable resources are available to activate a unit, the

Program Director will request approval for unit activation from the Secretary

of the Navy via CG TECOM.

(2) Request an Individual Activity Code (IAC), Department of Defense

Activity Address Code (DODAAC), and Unit Identification Code (UIC) from the

appropriate agency. Requisition the clothing, supplies and equipment required

for initial establishment of the unit in accordance with the current Table of

(3) Allocate funds in support of MCJROTC unit fiscal and logistical

requirements.

c. School

(1) Make available to the MCJROTC unit all facilities as identified

on the MCJROTC Unit Application that was submitted to CG, TECOM (C 46JR) by

the school district. If previously identified facilities are no longer

available, the replacement with other like facilities is subject to the

approval of the Regional Director.

(2) Upon receipt of government property, provide appropriate

insurance in an amount commensurate with the total monetary value as

ascertained by the MCJROTC Regional Director.

(3) Appoint a Military Property Custodian (MPC) as the individual

responsible for the requisitioning, receipt, storage, maintenance, issue, and

disposal of clothing, supplies and equipment assigned to the MCJROTC unit.

(4) Offer Leadership Education classes in the school’s course

catalog.

d. MCJROTC Regional Director

(1) Establish close and continuous liaison with school officials and

other Marine Corps activities as required.

(2) Assist the school district with locating certified instructors.

(3) Conduct an annual inspection/visit of the unit to ensure that the

highest standards of instruction and administration are being maintained.

Provide timely assistance and corrective action as required. Prior to the

annual inspection, a unit in its first year of operation will receive an

assist visit to ensure the successful launch of the program.

4. Probation Status and disestablishment

a. When the Program Director determines that a unit does not meet the

standards specified in Public Law and DOD and Marine Corps directives (other

than for enrollment), school authorities concerned shall be notified that the

unit has been placed on probationary status. The Secretary of the Navy may

disestablish the unit effective at the conclusion of the probationary period

if the reason for the probationary status has not been resolved.

b. Units in the third year of enrollment that do not have the statutory

minimum of the number of students enrolled shall be placed on probation. No

later than the end of the school year, the Regional Director shall evaluate

potential to attain the minimum enrollment on the fall opening of school.

2-9 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

If it is probable that the enrollment minimum will not be met, school

authorities will be encouraged to concur in disestablishment of the unit at

the end of that current school year. The Regional Director shall make the

initial determination on the school’s capability to meet the enrollment

minimum. When the Regional Director evaluation indicates that minimum

enrollment probably will be met at the beginning of the fall school term, the

unit may be continued. No later than 90 days following the beginning of the

next school term, the Regional Director shall determine whether the enrollment

minimum has been met. If it has not, the school shall be officially notified

of unit disestablishment, and physical termination shall be scheduled for no

later than the end of that school year. The Program Director may authorize

extensions of probation periods in special circumstances.

c. MCJROTC units that do not have two instructors (SMI and MI) as

required by reference (b) will be placed on probation. It is recognized that

occasionally some instructor vacancies may be difficult to fill and as such,

each instance must be evaluated on its merits. However, school districts are

expected to make every effort to recruit instructor staff. Indications of

this effort may be advertising, salary inducements above the minimum pay

scale, or other inducements such as bonuses or payment of relocation expenses.

Absence of indications of effort on the part of the school district will

result in a recommendation to the Secretary of the Navy for unit

disestablishment.

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

e. Personnel employed as instructors will wear the Marine Corps uniform

during the school day and during all MCJROTC related co curricular and

extracurricular activities such as drill and marksmanship competitions,

community service, and field trips. When participating in activities with

other MCJROTC units, instructors will all be in the same uniform.

5. Student Organization

a. With the exception of the first two years of operation, minimum

enrollment in the high school’s MCJROTC unit throughout the school year must

be 100 cadets or 10 percent of the total school enrollment, whichever is less.

All students enrolled in the school will be counted in the population

regardless of academic track or scheduling restrictions. MCJROTC courses

should be offered to students from each of the grades within that high school.

b. The actual method of military organization is at the discretion of the

SMI. However, reasonable tables of organization must be maintained to avoid

excessive grade distribution. Two types of military organizations which may

be considered are:

(1) Battalion Level

. Recommended for units with a cadet strength of

more than l5O. The battalion should be divided into three companies.

(2) Company Level

. Recommended for units with a cadet strength of

less than l5O.

c. Assignment of key leadership positions should rotate periodically in

order to expose the maximum number of cadets to leadership experiences.

6. Student Eligibility

a. In order to participate in MCJROTC, students must:

(1) Be enrolled in and attending a regular course of instruction in a

high school where a MCJROTC unit is located. Students may not attend one high

school and participate in the MCJROTC program of another high school.

(2) Meet health and physical standards. The Marine Youth Physical

Fitness Program as outlined in MCO 6100.11 shall be conducted throughout the

school year. Furthermore, a Youth Physical Fitness Test (YPFT) administered

twice each school year. Cadets must have current school physical evaluations

on file in the school’s main office, and preferable a copy maintained in the

JROTC office when permissible, certifying that they are physically fit for

participation in the program.

(3) Be in a grade above the eighth grade.

(4) Be citizens or nationals of the United States, or aliens lawfully

admitted to the United States for permanent residence.

b. Under the secondary school’s enrollment policy and when desired by the

principal of the host school, students who are ineligible for membership as

regular MCJROTC students, as stipulated above, may enroll as MCJROTC students

if so stipulated in the student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP) or 504

assignment. They may participate in school approved MCJROTC activities, be

called cadets, wear the uniform, participate as cadet officers, and go on

field trips. In addition, these students must meet all other criteria for

enrollment in the MCJROTC program. The school, at no cost to the government,

will provide any special equipment or additional instructors required to

instruct, assist, and accommodate these MCJROTC cadets. The SMI and the

principal, so as not to place an undue workload on the MCJROTC program or its

instructors, and to ensure the safety of the students, shall mutually agree

3-4 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

upon a maximum number and suitability of students placed in the JROTC program.

Students enrolled under these criteria will be counted towards minimum

required to maintain a JROTC unit.

c. Students must be enrolled in a MCJROTC class in order to participate

in MCJROTC activities such as drill and marksmanship teams. Students enrolled

in schools that operate under a 4 x 4 block schedule may be granted one

academic year of eligibility to participate in MCJROTC activities for every

successful completion of a MCJROTC course as prescribed by the CG, TECOM (C

46JR). For example, if a student completes LE I thru LE IV in their freshman

and sophomore years of high school, that student would be eligible to

participate in MCJROTC activities for a total of four academic years. If a

student is dropped from the MCJROTC class at any time, that student is

considered ineligible to participate in MCJROTC activities for the remainder

of that grading period.

d. It is possible that there may be otherwise ineligible students

enrolled at secondary schools where MCJROTC participation is mandatory. An

example is a student who is temporarily not physically qualified. In this

instance, the student may be permitted to participate in the MCJROTC program

on an associate basis, with no expense to the Federal Government for such

participation.

e. Students may transfer from Army, Navy, or Air Force Junior ROTC units

and receive full credit for training accomplished. These cadets are

authorized to wear MCJROTC awards that specifically parallel previously

awarded awards from the other service JROTC unit. However, other service

awards that do not specifically parallel MCJROTC awards are not authorized for

wear.

7. Discipline

. Corrective measures for MCJROTC cadet disciplinary problems

should be taken by the military staff as dictated by the school's disciplinary

policy. Such action does not include administration of corporal punishment.

Under no circumstances will instructors administer corporal punishment.

Corporal punishment includes requiring cadets to perform excessive physical

acts (i.e., pushups, sit-ups, running, etc.). Sound judgment must be used at

all times when disciplining cadets.

8. Promotions

a. Qualification for promotion is defined as the manifestation of those

personal and professional attributes necessary to perform the leadership

functions and duties, and the ability to assume the responsibilities of the

next higher grade at an acceptable level.

b. Promotions provide the incentive through which the SMI helps to

develop leadership traits among the MCJROTC students. Promotions increase

morale, intensify a respect for constituted authority, and enable the cadet to

understand that with authority comes responsibility.

c. Cadet promotion warrants, NAVMCs 10784 and 10785, may be obtained from

the Marine Corps Electronic Forms website at

https://navalforms.daps.dla.mil/web/public/home.

d. Promotions should be effected through ceremonial event. The wide-

spread announcement of promotions is an effective tool for boosting morale and

creating a spirit of competition.

e. Grade structure should be based on the organization of the unit. For

example: Grade structure within battalion should reflect a "Cadet Lieutenant

Colonel", "Cadet Sergeant", etc.

9. Leadership Education Completion Certificate

. A NAVMC 184 MCJROTC

Leadership Education Competition Certificate will be issued by the SMI to each

cadet upon completion, transfer, or termination of instruction. Certificates

will indicate the course and number of years, or portion thereof,

satisfactorily completed. NAVMC 184 may be obtained on the Marine Corps

electronic forms website at https://navalforms.daps.dla.mil/web/public/home.

10. Student Benefits

a. A student presenting evidence of successful completion of at least two

academic years of JROTC under any Military Department is entitled to advance

promotion to the grade of no less than E-2 on initial enlistment in an active

or reserve component of the military. Evidence of successful completion

includes, but may not be limited to, school transcripts or the MCJROTC

Leadership Education Certificate. At their discretion, the Military

Departments may award the grade of E-3 for successful completion of three

academic years of JROTC.

b. Upon enrollment in a college offering the Senior ROTC course, the

cadet who has completed the three-year Junior ROTC course of instruction may

be entitled to one year of basic Senior ROTC by the college concerned.

c. Upon acceptance to a four-year college or university, the cadet who

has successfully completed the Junior ROTC course of instruction may apply for

the Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Course (PLC) program during the summer prior

to the freshman year.

11. Disenrollment

. The SMI may disenroll a cadet from the MCJROTC unit with

the approval of the principal of the school, for any of the following reasons:

a. Failure to maintain standards for enrollment.

b. Lack of aptitude, indifference to training, disciplinary infractions,

or undesirable traits of character.

c. Disenrollment from school.

d. Request of the individual cadet.

e. Because of the rigors associated with the physical training aspects of

the program, a pregnant cadet will be treated as if on “light duty” for the

duration of the pregnancy, and for six months thereafter. If, in the opinion

of the SMI and the principal, the cadet would suffer undue hardship by

remaining in the unit, then disenrollment is authorized.

f. Found guilty of a misdemeanor or felony.

(4) Philosophy

. The philosophy of the inspections conducted by the

CIG will be to evaluate, train, and assist the inspected unit. As

discrepancies are identified during an inspection, members of the inspected

unit will be educated on the proper procedures to correct the problem area(s).

The grade assigned by the inspectors will reflect those discrepancies

identified upon arrival at the unit. Any discrepancy that was identified and

then corrected during the conduct of the inspection will be reported to the

MCJROTC Inspection Checklist that is updated by HQMC functional area sponsors

and maintained by the Inspector General, Marine Corps (IGMC). AIRS

checklists contain those areas, at a minimum, that should be inspected in any

one functional area.

(2) Regional Directors shall use AIRS MCJROTC Inspection Checklist

when conducting inspections. The information contained in the AIRS checklists

shall be the minimum criteria used for inspecting the functional areas listed.

Regional Directors are considered functional area experts and may omit

inspecting items from the AIRS checklist that are not applicable to the

unit inspected. They may also add items to AIRS checklists if the additional

items provide a more complete picture of the status of the inspected unit.

However, no finding or discrepancy will be given to any statement added to the

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

(g) Prepare a short command overview to brief the inspection

team. The Regional Director will advise on the content of the brief.

f. Grading System

. The primary purpose of the grading system is to

quantify those capabilities of the command, unit, functional area or

individual being evaluated or inspected. The following grades shall be

assigned:

(1) Mission Capable

. The unit possesses the requisite skills,

equipment, personnel, and understanding to accomplish its assigned mission,

tasks, and functions; and it uses these skills, equipment, personnel, and

understanding to accomplish its mission, tasks, and functions.

(2) Non-Mission Capable

. The unit does not possess the requisite

skills, equipment, personnel, or understanding to accomplish its assigned

mission, tasks, and functions; or does not use these skills, equipment,

personnel, and understanding to accomplish its assigned mission, tasks, and

functions.

(3) Not-Graded

. This is primarily used for staff assist visits, but

can also be used if only a partial inspection is conducted, or if an

inspection could not be conducted on that functional area.

(4) Functional Area Grade

. Each functional area will be assigned a

grade of mission capable, non-mission capable or not-graded. A grade of non-

mission capable in a functional area indicates the unit is not able to perform

its mission in a specific functional area and suffers from gross program

neglect. For MCJROTC units, receiving a grade of non-mission capable in a

functional area will result in an overall unit grade of non-mission capable.

Grades will not be assigned for staff assist visits.

(5) Problems noted in the inspection will be categorized as follows:

(a) Findings

. One or more findings normally indicate program

neglect or lack of command emphasis. Though presently able to execute its

assigned mission, failure to initiate and implement immediate corrective

action could render the functional area non-mission capable.

(b) Discrepancies

. One or more discrepancies indicate a lack of

attention to detail in some degree for the functional area program

administration.

(6) Other comments or recommendations (not related to a finding or

discrepancy) may also be made by the inspector to help improve the overall

functional area program.

(7) Reports

(a) Unit Inspection Reports

. The Regional Director shall provide

a Functional Area inspector’s Report per reference (i) to the inspected unit

upon completion of the inspection.

(b) Corrective Action Report

. The inspected unit will submit a

Corrective Action Report per reference (i) to the TECOM CIG via the Regional

Director by the due date stated in the Inspection Report for any findings

identified in the report. The due date will normally be 30 calendar days from

the date of the inspection. The Regional Director will review the Corrective

Action Report and determine if the corrective action is sufficient or whether

a follow-up inspection is required on any functional area that had significant

4-11 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

findings and/or discrepancies. Any functional area receiving a grade of non-

mission capable will be re-inspected within 90 days from the original

inspection completion date.

(c) Staff Assist Visit Report

. The Regional Director will

complete a Staff Assist Visit report upon completion of a staff assist visit.

This report will be given to the inspected unit for information or corrective

action, and is not considered an official accountable report. No formal

Corrective Action Report is required of the inspected unit. A copy of the

Staff Assist Visit Report will be maintained by both the Regional Director and

the Program Director as a matter of record keeping.

Chapter 5

Operations and Training

1. General

. The mission and objectives of the MCJROTC program are presented

in chapter 1 of this Order. Cadet objectives, curriculum policy, and

supporting course materials are incorporated in Leadership Education courses

I, II, III and IV. The complete course of instruction comprises four academic

years of high school. The fourth year of instruction may also consist

entirely of practical application leadership training where the fourth-year

cadets are assigned to billets requiring the application of those leadership

principles and skills learned during the first three years of the program.

2. Purpose

. The purpose of MCJROTC curricular and complementing co-

curricular training is to present classes and activities to the cadet that are

of such a nature as to be of immediate value. All training will be consistent

with the objectives of the program as outlined in this Order and other

applicable directives. The thrust of classes and activities should develop

the leadership abilities of each cadet so they become better citizens

regardless of the student’s desired career path. In this context, instructors

are encouraged to craft, in cooperation with their educational colleagues and

site administrators, instruction that is pertinent and responsive to the

specific educational challenges confronting their cadets.

3. Methods of Instruction

. Instruction will be carefully prepared and

presented in an understandable, interesting, and enthusiastic manner. When

feasible, instruction will involve cooperative learning, followed by

discussion/critique periods which require cadet participation. The use of

cadets as instructor aides is strongly encouraged as a method of ensuring

cadet leadership development. Maximum use of information technology, frequent

use of reading and writing assignments, assignments that require critical

thinking and abstract thought, and full integration with the broader

curriculum are requisite to successful implementation of the Program of

Instruction (POI).

4. Funding

. Appropriated funds may be used to support MCJROTC units in

competitions and training that directly support execution of the POI in

accordance with government travel regulations. Funding may be used to cover

the costs of:

a. Commercial transportation.

b. Travel and per diem for civilian chaperones in accordance with

reference (k).

c. Travel and per diem for SMIs/MIs in accordance with reference (k).

d. Commercial lodging.

e. Entry fees.

f. Curriculum related tours at historical or cultural sites.

5. Course Materials

. All course materials used to support Leadership

Education courses are provided by TECOM (C 46JR). Instructors may use

appropriate field manuals, technical manuals, and other publications approved

by TECOM (C 46JR), other DOD agencies, or the school district to augment

presentations as appropriate. Supporting course materials not provided by

TECOM (especially visual media) should be approved by the site administrator

prior to use.

5-1 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

6. Records

a. SMIs will ensure that Leadership Education course materials are kept

current and that any changes are incorporated immediately. Maintenance of

course materials is necessary for the information and guidance of newly

detailed instructors and serves to promote stability in the program. The

instructors are responsible for recommending text changes to TECOM (C 46JR)

via the MCJROTC Regional Director.

b. A training record will be maintained on each cadet for

information that is not otherwise maintained in required school records.

Refer to paragraph 4004 of this Manual for cadet records requirements.

c. An annual training plan, often referred to as a pacing guide, will be

prepared showing classes scheduled and training to be conducted in order to

meet the minimum 180 class hours of instruction. Weekly training schedules

will be published and posted in the classroom to allow cadets to prepare for

upcoming instruction.

d. Each POI listed on the training schedule should have an associated

lesson plan on file. The lesson plans, provided with the Leadership Education

curriculum, should contain changes to reflect any modifications made by the

unit. Additional information, alternate student handouts, or other deviations

from the basic curriculum should be reflected in the lesson plan file.

7. Concept of MCJROTC Curriculum

a. Leadership Education is the name given to the MCJROTC curriculum

because it is based upon the tenets of Marine Corps leadership to teach and

develop a sense of responsibility, loyalty, discipline and character in the

cadets. Throughout the four years of the program, the Leadership Education

curriculum in presented by way of five different categories of instruction.

Those categories are:

(1) Leadership.

(2) Citizenship.

(3) Personal growth and responsibility.

(4) Public Service and Career Exploration.

(5) General military subjects.

b. In addition, the cadets are provided an excellent opportunity to

develop certain positive attitudes, values, and leadership qualities from the

leadership example provided by the Marine instructors. Each competency taught

in the curriculum has been mapped to National Education Standards as defined

by a committee representing ten national and education organizations.

c. Program Levels LE-1, LE-2, LE-3, LE-4

. Cadets in the MCJROTC program

will participate in a Leadership Education level as dictated by the number of

years in the program the cadet has completed. Naturally, LE-1 is for those

students entering the program for the first time, while LE-4 is for the cadet

who has successfully completed LE-I through LE-3.

(1) Leadership Education I (LE-I)

. The first year of the program

provides cadets with an introduction to both leadership and citizenship. The

first year also gives the new cadets exposure to personal growth and

responsibility and establishes a foundation of military structure and

tradition.

5-2 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

(2) Leadership Education II (LE-II)

. The second year continues the

leadership and citizenship classes of LE-I. During LE-II the students

receive instruction in general military subjects with more structure and

tradition than in LE-I, as well as the introduction of civilian marksmanship

and land navigation training with map and compass. This year also provides

additional learning experiences in personal growth and responsibility, as

well as citizenship.

(3) Leadership Training III (LE-III)

. In LE-III, cadets will begin

to apply their leadership training as they assume positions of increased

authority and responsibility within the program. In this year detailed

instruction on personal finances is presented, as well as other preparation

for life beyond high school.

(4) Leadership Training IV (LE-IV)

. Senior cadets will conduct

formations and inspections, as well as supervise certain training events with

younger cadets. LE-4 cadets continue to be challenged academically with

requirements for research projects, independent studies and progress reports.

d. Leadership Education Categories

. All four years of Leadership

Education contain academic hours from all of the five categories of

instruction. Instruction is also provided from a small list of core classes

that require many hours of practical application and reinforcement.

(1) Leadership

. Leadership classes are intended to instill within the

cadet a sense of responsibility and confidence in the supervision of others.

The objectives, basic traits and principles of leadership are taught in the

classroom early in the curriculum. These same building blocks of leadership

are amplified and demonstrated by staff and cadets throughout the remainder of

the program.

(2) Citizenship

. Citizenship classes teach the cadet to understand

and appreciate the history of our nation and the privileges of citizenship.

Instruction emphasizes the importance of citizen involvement in the many

opportunities offered by our democratic way of life. This category also

explains how our government functions, as well as the role of the armed forces

in serving and protecting the freedoms we enjoy.

(3) Personal Growth and Responsibility

. Physical fitness, health,

hygiene, and nutrition are very important factors in the growth of a high

school student that are taught in this category. In addition, this category

presents classes to help the development of social skills. Writing and

speaking skills are also provided to reinforce the very important need for

good communication. Practical and in-depth classes on handling personal

finances are also provided.

(4) Public Service And Career Exploration

. In this category, career

preparation is the focus of classes given on job hunting and interviews.

Resumes are written by each cadet and post high school guidance is provided.

Information is also provided regarding different local, state and federal

career opportunities, as well as the opportunities available through military

service.

e. General Military Subjects

. The instruction of leadership,

self-discipline, citizenship, character and personal responsibility are

presented through the medium of the U.S. Marine Corps. The final category of

the MCJROTC curriculum supports the previous four categories of instruction.

Drill and ceremonies, military customs, courtesies and traditions; rank

structure and military history all enhance the cadets’ education and

development. Personal confidence is enhanced with marksmanship training and

classes in land navigation are fun and challenging.

5-3 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

f. Core Classes

. Physical training, drill and civilian marksmanship are

also taught. Many schools have drill teams and participate in state and

national level competitions. Many schools also have facilities to promote a

marksmanship program which is also an interscholastic sport with potential for

national competition and recognition.

g. Course Materials

. The Leadership Education course materials provided

to support each grade level of the MCJROTC program are:

(1) Instructor Guide

. Instructors are provided with a detailed guide

providing lesson plans and other instructional material for each class in the

program.

(2) Student Textbook

. A textbook of printed material providing

information on the subject matter is provided for each cadet in the program.

(3) Program of Instruction

. A detailed overview of the curriculum

provides information on the number of hours, relevant academic standards, and

other pertinent information.

h. Coordinating Instructions

(1) Flexibility

. It is recognized that each participating host school

is unique in some manner. Each has the responsibility, however, for assuring

that the MCJROTC program becomes an integral part of its overall educational

program. To assist in this integration, substantial flexibility is

incorporated into the Leadership Education courses.

(2) Academics

. The MCJROTC Leadership Education course is designed as

one of attraction. Judgment, tact, forbearance, and adherence to General

Lejeune's precepts are paramount. Harassment and punitive physical fitness

practices are not hallmarks of the true leader and attempts to impose these

negative entities on junior cadets by more senior cadets will not be

tolerated. Scheduled testing, timely completion of assignments, class

participation, and positive demeanor are encouraged and will be an integral

part of instruction.

(3) Academic Administration

. Academic administration has been

minimized. Instructors will, however, maintain such records as the respective

host school requires. This includes, but not limited to, a plan book and a

grade book usually provided by the institution.

(4) Instructor Availability

. Cadets often desire to discuss topics

ranging from academics, grades, and class standings to uniforms, promotions,

and assignments. Accordingly, the SMI and the MI will schedule and publish

their times of availability for cadet counseling.

(5) Conflict of Interest

. Conflict of interest, either real or

perceived, erodes public confidence in the MCJROTC program. Personal or

business relationships between instructors and cadets or parents that might

result in the perception of a conflict of interest are strongly discouraged.

Use of cadet labor for personal or business purposes or “for profit”

relationships between instructors and cadets are prohibited.

8. Unit Training

a. Training Philosophy

. Each MCJROTC unit is unique in several respects;

geographic locality, student demographics, and levels of both school and

community support. Consequently, training opportunities, needs, and support

requirements may vary significantly from unit to unit. Thus, except in the

conduct of “high risk training,” instructors are given significant latitude in

5-4 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

determining the type and location of training which would best support the

organizational mission and the Commanding General’s intent.

b. Economies of Scale

. Because of the significant cost of

transportation, every effort should be made to consolidate training

opportunities with JROTC units located in near proximity. Formation of local

drill and rifle leagues is strongly encouraged as is both service and joint

training. In addition, visits to nearby military installations or other

facilities will usually be preferable to visiting facilities some distance

away.

c. Serious Incident Reporting

. In the event of an incident involving

MCJROTC personnel that could potentially reflect unfavorably on the Marine

Corps, this fact will be communicated to the Regional Director or Program

Deputy within 24 hours. A full written report is required within 48 hours.

Report the nature of the incident, names of the personnel involved, civilian

media agencies that have publicized the incident or have information

concerning it, or any other pertinent information. MCJROTC personnel will

refrain from issuing statements concerning such incidents or any other

sensitive issues until guidance is received from the TECOM Public Affairs

Officer.

d. Parental Permission

. Instructors will ensure cadets participating in

unit training or activities not on school property have the permission of the

cadet’s parents or guardians by use of school district approved permission

forms.

e. Safety Management

. Risk assessment for all training will be conducted

and updated as conditions change. “Special Hazard” training sites (rifle

ranges, rappel towers, confidence courses, high ropes courses, etc.) must be

inspected and certified as structurally sound and safe for training and

require specific instructor certification and written training SOPs approved

by the Regional Director. Non compliance with the provisions of this Order

regarding safety, authorized equipment, site certification or instructor

certifications required for the conduct of “Special Hazard” training, or the

conduct of prohibited training may be the basis for instructor

decertification. Safety, with respect to cadets, should be considered

differently than for the Active Duty Marines because:

(1) The typical cadet is only 14-17 years of age, with most just

having completed the 9th or 10th grade. They are in the physical and

psychological development stage between childhood and adulthood. Many are

overly sensitive to peer pressure and adult influence. Some cadets will fear

failure and embarrassment while others, due to a lack of experience will be

fearless.

(2) All are minors and for the most part subject to parental bonds,

attitudes and values. As cadets, they participate in school sponsored extra-

curricular activities. The instructor is responsible for the care, control,

and constant supervision of cadets at all MCJROTC sponsored activities.

(3) Being mindful of the above, all instructors must ensure that, when

cadets participate in the various activities, they do it freely without undue

peer or adult pressure, not through fear of embarrassment or failure. Also,

cadets should not forced into doing something if he/she is not mentally,

emotionally or physically prepared.

(4) In order to ensure that safety is always observed, each instructor

is tasked with the responsibility of conducting risk assessment before,

during, and after training. Instructors will review and become familiar with

the five steps of risk management. The five-step process is as follows:

5-5 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

(a) Identify hazards

. Identify hazards inherent in the training

(such as a fall during rappelling) and hazards from other factors, such as the

weather.

(b) Assess hazards

. Determine the worst injury possible, and the

likelihood it would occur. The instructor, designated trainer or event

supervisor will conduct the assessment and maintain a record of the

assessment.

(c) Develop controls and risk decisions

1

. Implement controls. Implement all measures possible to

reduce risks to the lowest level before training starts.

2

. Supervise. Ensure all control measures are in force

during the entire training event.

(5) Instructors will conduct an immediate analysis of all training-

related accidents and injuries to determine causes and identify trends.

Instructors will either take immediate corrective action or suspend training

until appropriate corrective action can be determined and implemented.

Training accidents that require off site treatment or hospitalization of

cadets will be reported to TECOM C46R Operations Manager within 24 hours.

(6) Retired MCJROTC instructors are authorized to drive government

furnished General Services Administration (GSA) vehicles for official

government business. However, retired MCJROTC instructors are not covered

under the Federal Tort Claims Act. As such, they are personally liable for

their actions and must provide proof of (school/self provided) vehicle

liability insurance before they are provided a short-term use (less than 60

days) vehicle to support the MCJROTC mission.

(7) If MCJROTC instructors transport students (in support of a

MCJROTC sponsored activity) in any vehicle that transports more than ten

passengers, it must meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS)

for school buses. GSA van carryalls, 11-15 passenger, or SUVs do not meet the

requirements of the FMVSS.

(8) Marine Corps Seatbelt Policy

. Reference (l) requires that during

any MCJROTC sponsored activity that seat belts be worn by all occupants of all

vehicles and that the military instructor is responsible for ensuring

compliance with this policy.

(9) Cadet supervision

. Training safety is a command responsibility

and all supervisory personnel are responsible for strict adherence to

established training safety guidance. With no exceptions, cadets will have

constant instructor or chaperone supervision during all MCJROTC training

activities.

f. Prohibited training

. High risk training not associated with the POI

is prohibited to include but not limited to the following:

(1) Crew served weapons training.

(2) Tactical training including, but not limited to patrolling,

ambushes, and aggressor training.

(3) Mission-oriented Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) training.

(4) Firing or training with firearms with the exception of

familiarization firing of the service rifle during the conduct of an

5-6 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

orientation visit to a military installation under the direct supervision of

active duty range personnel.

(5) Participation in weapons demonstrations or firing of powder and

projectile weapons of any type.

(6) Training with Class V(W)simulators/pyrotechnics or blanks.

(7) Martial arts or personal defense activities.

(8) Use of cross or compound bows for archery training.

(9) Water activities to include SCUBA diving conducted either in open

water or in a pool with the following exceptions:

(a) Small boat training is authorized attendant to orientation

visits to military installations under the direct supervision of qualified

active duty instructors.

(b) Non open water training is authorized attendant to

orientation visits to military installations under the direct supervision of

qualified active duty Water Safety Instructors (WSIs).

g. Confidence and Team Building

. Units will conduct mentally and

physically challenging events to develop cadet’s self-confidence, teamwork and

ability to overcome fear. When conducted with appropriate risk assessment and

management, events such as leaders’ reaction course, obstacle or confidence

courses, rope bridging, high and low ropes and rappelling are authorized

training events.

h. Rappel, High Ropes and High Risk Training

. MCJROTC units are allowed

to conduct high risk training events, such as rappel and high ropes training,

only upon written authorization of the local school district. High risk

training is not resident in the POI, thus they are considered school

activities and require local school official approval. However, high risk

training also requires SMIs/MIs submission of a risk assessment and written

training plan to the Regional Director for approval prior to MCJROTC

instructors conducting training.

(1) Requirements

. The following requirements will be adhered to when

conducting rappel or high ropes training with cadets:

(a) Rappel training will be limited to basic, individual, hip-

seat rappels only. No Australian or extreme high risk rappelling is

authorized.

(b) Rappel or high ropes training will be conducted on buildings,

established towers, or field sites which have been approved as a result of a

safety inspection conducted by the school district’s safety office. Rappel

and high ropes site inspections are an annual requirement.

(c) Rappel and high ropes training will only be conducted by

properly trained personnel certified to conduct such training.

(2) Procedures

. To ensure compliance with the above requirements, the

following procedures are required:

(a) Regional Directors

1

. Approve risk assessment for units desiring to conduct

rappel or high ropes training.

5-7 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

2

. Maintain file copy of rappel tower and high ropes course

safety inspections, rappel master, rappel trainer, or high ropes instructor

certification, high-risk assessments and SOPs.

(b) Instructors

1

. Ensure sites are safe and instructors are certified to

conduct all high risk training. Evidence of this shall be provided to the

Regional Director in the form of a Memorandum for the Record (MFR) signed by

the SMI/MI.

2

. Obtain school approval to conduct high risk training.

3

. Complete a risk assessment and forward to the Regional

Director for approval utilizing the matrix contained in enclosure (5).

4

. Maintain a file copy of the risk assessment checklist,

training plan and school approval document.

5

. While rappelling, instructors and cadets will wear

approved protective helmets and use leather gloves. Cadets will not wear

load-carrying equipment or carry weapons while rappelling. Wear of an

approved helmet is mandatory on high ropes courses.

6

. Prior to making their first rappel from a height of more

than ten feet, cadets will be required to rappel from a height of less than

ten feet and/or on an incline. The purpose of this preliminary rappel is to

introduce new rappellers to proper position and braking techniques and build

their confidence accordingly in those techniques before rappelling from a

significant height.

7

. Only certified rappel trained instructors will act as

belay safety while conducting rappel or high ropes training. No cadets or any

other personnel will function as a safety belay person.

8

. To successfully operate each rappel lane from an approved

tower, it will require two (2) certified master/rappel trainers. One rappel

trainer will be responsible for hooking up cadets on the tower; the other

rappel trainer will be located at the base of the tower for belaying cadets.

9. Orientation Visits

a. General

. As part of the training curriculum, MCJROTC units are

encouraged to conduct orientation visits to military installations. Cadet

eligibility will be determined by the SMIs.

b. Scheduling

. The Regional Director will approve the military

installations to be visited. Each MCJROTC unit will submit the following

information to the MCJROTC Regional Director no later than 90 days prior to

start of the orientation visit:

(1) Primary choice of host command with dates (approval from base

Commanding Officer must be included).

(2) Alternate choice of host command with dates (approval from base

Commanding Officer must be included).

(3) Number of cadets to participate in visit (male/female).

(4) Number of chaperones attending to include SMI/MI (male/female).

c. Funding

(1) Funding for orientation visits is solely the responsibility of

unit conducting subject visits. Consideration should be given to:

(a) Commercial transportation.

(b) Travel and per diem for civilian chaperones.

(c) Travel and per diem for SMIs/MIs.

(d) Reimbursement for travel and per diem will be the same rate

when Government quarters and messing are available.

(e) Meals provided to MCJROTC cadets from the general mess of any

non-Marine base.

(2) Host commanders of Marine Corps installations shall include

subsistence support requirements for MCJROTC cadets in their local Operation

and Maintenance, Marine Corps (O&MMC) budget based on the current standard

meal rates.

d. Support

. The necessary support rendered by host command in connection

with orientation visits is set forth below:

(1) Meals

(a) Host commanders of Marine Corps installations shall reimburse

the Military Personnel Marine Corps (MPMC) subsistence account for all meals

provided to MCJROTC cadets at the current appropriate discounted meal rate.

The Marine Corps host command must ensure sufficient funds are included in

their local Operations and Maintenance Marine Corps (O&MMC) budget. Billing

documentation (SF 1080) for reimbursement of meals provided MCJROTC cadets in

Marine Corps appropriated fund dining facilities will be initiated locally

crediting the MPMC subsistence appropriation and charging the local activities

local O&MMC appropriation. SMIs, MIs and chaperones are required to pay for

their own meals prior to consumption at the current government standard meal

rate to include the appropriate surcharge.

(b) Meals consumed at non-military installations must be funded

per reference (o).

(2) Billeting

(a) Billeting for cadets should be sufficient in quantity and

quality on a par with quarters for enlisted Marines, to include satisfactory

facilities, conditions, and adequate linen and cleaning supplies. When

adequate enlisted quarters are not available for cadets, billeting in the BOQ

is authorized (provided cadets pay for individual maid service or cadets be

required to clean the billeting area assigned). Billeting for male and female

chaperones should be BOQ-type facilities in close proximity to the cadets'

billeting area(s). The rate charged should be that imposed on personnel not

in receipt of per diem. Chaperones should be advised of the billeting

conditions prior to commencing visits.

are injured or become ill during orientation visits as stated in reference

(s). Although the term "emergency" is not clearly defined, sound medical

judgment in individual cases will lead to proper treatment. It should be

noted that Bureau of Medicine's (BUMED) policy has always been, "When in

doubt, treat the patient."

(b) The SMI will ensure that all cadets execute the current

general release and emergency data forms. Further, all cadets must be covered

by medical insurance prior to commencement of the orientation visit.

(c) The parent/legal guardian will be notified immediately to

assume responsibility for additional treatment required at an appropriate

civilian facility. It is desirable that medical officials at host commands be

informed when MCJROTC orientation visits will be occurring, and that treatment

of cadets may be required.

(4) Transportation

. Transportation will be provided to accomplish

the proposed training schedule.

(5) Individual Equipment

. Individual equipment; e.g., belt,

canteen, and field jacket will be provided by hosting unit and recovered upon

departure of the visiting group.

(6) Special Services

. Use of recreation facilities and equipment by

attendance who are:

1

. Obese/overweight and would not be able to negotiate/meet

most of the physical obstacles and demands of CLC.

2

. Emotionally immature.

3

. Medically impaired to the degree that the condition/

medication precludes meeting the training requirements or may result in the

rigorous training having an adverse effect on the health of the cadet.

f. Training Schedule

(1) The CLC training schedule will be published no later than 60 days

prior to CLC start date and a copy will be provided to the Regional Director

for approval. This will assist both the instructor as well as the cadet in

knowing what type of training to expect before CLC actually begins.

(2) The training for MCJROTC cadets should not begin before 0600, and

every possible effort should be made to provide cadets with at least eight

hours of sleep.

g. Security

(1) Because of the nature of the CLC, it is mandatory that alert

monitoring of CLC environmental and physical conditions occur at all times.

Accordingly, the CLC duty room will be staffed around the clock with a Staff

Duty Officer/Staff Duty NCO along with continuous instructor supervision.

5-14 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

(2) The CLC Commanding Officer will publish detailed instructions on

CLC security.

(3) Secured storage areas are limited, therefore, no radios, stereos,

etc., or other valuable items will be permitted in CLC. Such items will be

turned in, tagged with the owners name and secured upon in processing. Cadets

will be advised in writing not to bring these items. Contraband items are

prohibited.

h. Medical Support/Sick-Call

. Medical support and sick call procedures

will be developed by the CLC Commanding Officer and briefed to each cadet in

attendance. A qualified medical specialist will be present 24/7 during CLC

(e.g. School Nurse, Corpsman, etc).

i. Cadet Evaluation

. One of the most important objectives of CLC is to

evaluate cadets, especially those cadets who have been tentatively selected

for possible key staff leadership positions during the coming school year.

This type of environment provides an excellent opportunity for evaluating

their strengths and weaknesses. To the maximum extent possible, each cadet

will serve and be evaluated in a leadership position while attending CLC. The

CLC Commanding Officer will review the reports and ensure distribution is made

to the respective school instructor. The “remarks” area of the sheet/card

should be used to explain the cadets’ outstanding rating and/or below average

rating. Outstanding and below average ratings requires comments from the

evaluator.

j. Attendance and Waivers

(1) If reasonably available, each unit is required to participate in

an annual CLC. As a goal and if reasonably possible, each unit should attempt

to assign 20% of their rising LE II, LE III, and LE IV cadets to CLC. If a

Marine Corps CLC is not available, every effort should be made to participate

in other service training that approximates the intent of CLC. The management

of slots for attendance to CLC is the responsibility of the CLC Commanding

Officer who will authorize slots based upon availability of resources. Cadets

attending CLC must be in good academic standing with a minimum grade point

average of at least 2.0. The CLC Commanding Officer will notify the Regional

Director of the number of cadets each CLC can accommodate.

(2) The Regional Director may require all MCJROTC instructors attend

CLC to participate in annual instructor training. If not, every effort should

be made to ensure that SMIs and MIs rotate CLC attendance. Where applicable,

school districts may be required to extend instructor contracts to cover the

duration of CLC.

(3) Regional Directors have the authority to waive the unit CLC

attendance requirement under exceptional circumstances which precludes the

units’ participation. Waivers should only be granted if schools offer an

equivalent CLC experience that meets the CLC objectives and POI requirements

or if geographic separation between the unit and CLC site is significant.

(4) Requests for medical waivers will be reviewed and granted on a

case by-case basis. Cadets with asthma, severe allergies, diabetes, or other

medical conditions must have written parental or legal guardian consent and

medical clearance from a licensed physician prior to attending CLC. The SMI

will communicate with the physician and explain the training activities that

occur at a CLC. Waivers requiring medical review will be forwarded to

Regional Director for approval or disapproval.

12. Marksmanship Training

a. General

. Marksmanship training is an integral part of the MCJROTC

curriculum. A properly administered marksmanship program fosters good

sportsmanship, while instilling a sense of pride and dedication as cadets

become more proficient with the fundamentals of marksmanship. In general

terms, a mature marksmanship training program should provide the essential

elements of gun safety to all LE I cadets to include prone “bench rest”

familiarization firing, three position training and qualification for LE II-IV

Cadets and competitive training for the unit rifle team. Although each stage

requires increasing levels of proficiency, the basic elements of range safety

must be an integral part of all marksmanship training.

b. Implementation

. The marksmanship training program will be conducted

in accordance with the MCJROTC curriculum and current Civilian Marksmanship

Program (CMP) National Standard Three-Position Air Rifle Rules. Sporter and

precision class air rifles are the only rifles authorized for use in MCJROTC

marksmanship training and only the Daisy 853/853CM Sporter air rifles may be

used for marksmanship qualification. All firearms to include .22 caliber

rifles are prohibited from MCJROTC marksmanship training and competitions.

Likewise, training using pistols of any type, to include compressed air, is

prohibited.

c. Safety

. Instructors must complete JROTC Marksmanship Instructor

Course (JMIC) or Coach Certification Course within one year of initial

certification and prior to conducting marksmanship training.

(1) Specifications and Safety Criteria

. Insufficient pellet

containment and improper safety procedures could cause injury to participating

and non-participating personnel. The following is minimum safety criteria for

equipment used during MCJROTC air rifle training:

(a) Air Rifles

. The Daisy Model 853 series pellet rifle will be

the primary air rifle used for MCJROTC marksmanship training. The maximum

muzzle velocity allowed for any other manufacturer’s air rifle will not exceed

600 feet per second utilizing the .177 caliber target pellet.

(b) Target Holders

. Target holders must be able to properly

display the target while fully containing the pellets. The target holder must

be designed to deform, flatten or decelerate the pellet within the device.

The material used within the target holder must not show any visible signs of

wear after sustained use; i.e. denting, dimpling, warping. Visual inspection

of the target holders is required prior to firing to ensure the material used

to contain the pellets is not dented, dimpled or warped. When target holders

show those signs of wear, they must be replaced. There are two different

types of target holders that meet the minimum criteria for MCJROTC air rifle

training:

1

. Target Boxes. Target boxes should be able to display

single or double targets. Target boxes should be of sufficient size to

support the standard air rifle targets used during MCJROTC marksmanship

training. The steel in the back of the target box should have a minimum

Brinnel hardness of 360/400 to ensure proper pellet deformation. Steel with

an Abrasion Resistant (AR) coating coupled with 360/400 Brinnel hardness will

provide consistency in deforming/containing the pellets and ensure longevity

of use. Pellets that impact the steel must be flattened and completely

deformed upon impact with no dimpling or denting of the Brinnel steel.

2

. Electronically Controlled Target Traps. Commercially

produced electronic remote controlled targets with an internal pellet trap are

also authorized. More frequent inspection of this type of trap is required to

ensure the steel is not damaged/deformed and is providing for deceleration and

containment of the pellets.

5-16 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

3

. Secondary Backstop. A secondary backstop is required to

contain errant pellets that may not impact the target holder. The secondary

containment device must be a minimum height of 80 inches and a width of 38

inches. The material must not show any visible sign of deformation or

degradation after pellet impact from 33 feet. The pellet can be completely

absorbed by the material or stopped by a ballistic curtain. Upon contact with

the backstop, the pellet cannot retain sufficient residual energy to

bounce back more than twenty feet toward the shooter. The material must be

constructed of a material that can sustain at least twenty impacts in the same

location without any signs of degradation; i.e., tear, fray, puncture.

Frequent inspection of the secondary backstop is required to ensure the

ballistic characteristics of the backstop remain intact. The secondary

backstop should be placed against a solid wall and access behind the backstop

should be prohibited.

(2) To assist in mitigating the potential risks associated with air

rifle training, an operational risk assessment (deliberate) will be conducted

in accordance with the reference prior to use. Special consideration needs to

be placed on controlling the movements of the air rifle muzzles to ensure they

remain within the ballistic nylon backstop. Additionally, personnel are

prohibited to be behind the ballistic backstop while air rifle marksmanship

training is conducted.

(3) The use of Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA)

approved impact resistant shooting glasses is required for POI related

marksmanship but is not required for competitions.

(4) Safety of personnel and equipment will remain paramount throughout

the conduct of marksmanship training. All rifle ranges will have a range SOP

posted in an area clearly visible to all individuals in the vicinity of the

range. The Range Safety Officer (RSO) will conduct a range safety briefing

prior to the conduct of any live fire. The SMI or MI will be present during

any period of marksmanship training. Only ranges that meet or exceed the

safety criteria (above) of the MCJROTC Portable Air Rifle Training Range as

approved by the Director, Marine Corps Range and Training Area Management

(RTAM) Division, TECOM will be used for the conduct of marksmanship training

and MCJROTC hosted marksmanship competitions. Regional Directors will be the

range certification authority.

d. Parental Consent

. The SMI will obtain a completed NAVMC 11598 -

Marksmanship Parental Permission Form before any cadet is permitted to

participate in live firing. This form must remain on file and a new

Marksmanship Parental Consent Form will be obtained for each cadet at the

start of each school year. NAVMC 11598 may be obtained on the Marine Corps

Electronic Forms website at

http://192.156.19.102/ar/mcefs.nsf/welcome?opennavigator

.

e. Marksmanship Qualification

(1) Marksmanship Qualification Awards

. MCJROTC cadets who participate in

rifle marksmanship instruction are eligible to earn qualification badges. The

badges designate three qualification levels, Marksman, Sharpshooter and Expert. The

Expert badge is the highest ranking and most difficult to earn. The badges signify

that the cadets who earn them have demonstrated the knowledge and skill to handle

rifles safety and have mastered basic rifle marksmanship skills to achieve required

scores in qualification firing tests. MCJROTC cadets are authorized to wear

marksmanship qualification badges on their Dress Blues or Green uniforms and on the

khaki shirt when appropriate. Cadets may earn more than one badge, but may only

wear the highest-ranking badge earned.

(2) Qualification Course Standards

. The following standards apply to the

conduct of unit qualification firing:

5-17 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

(a) Rifles

. Air rifle qualification firing must be done with Sporter-

class Daisy 853/853CM air rifles.

(d) Clothing and Equipment

. During qualification firing,

equipment and clothing may be used in accordance with the stipulations of the

National Standard Three-Position Air Rifle Rules. For example, a sling may be

used in the prone and kneeling positions, a glove may be worn on the support

hand in any position and a kneeling roll may be used in the kneeling position.

Shooting jackets may not be worn when qualifying with the air rifle.

(e) Integration with MCJROTC Marksmanship Curriculum

. Cadets must

receive marksmanship instruction before they do qualification firing. These

marksmanship qualification standards and procedures are designed for

qualification firing to be done in conjunction with the teaching of LE-1

MCJROTC Leadership Education curriculum. Qualification firing may be done in

stages to best accommodate the individual unit’s curriculum. Courses of

instruction to include rifle safety, the operation of the rifle, the prone

positions, the technique of firing a shot, sight adjustments and scoring, must

be completed before qualification firing is done in any firing position.

(f) Qualification Procedures

. To qualify for the Marksman and

Sharpshooter badges, qualification firing must be done in two positions,

standing and prone. After qualification firing in standing and prone has been

completed, those cadets that have excelled may elect to shoot for Expert. To

qualify for the Expert badge, qualification firing must be done in all three

positions, prone, standing and kneeling as noted below.

(g) Qualification Scores

. To receive a qualification badge,

cadets must attain the following scores in qualification firing that is

supervised by a unit instructor.

(h) Qualification Firing Procedures

. The unit instructor will

designate the times when cadets may do qualification firing. Cadets may be

given multiple opportunities to fire qualifying scores.

(i) To earn the Marksman and/or Sharpshooter badge, a cadet will

be credited with the total of the best 10-shot standing and the best 10-shot

matches with other units.

(2) All MCJROTC units will, unless waived by the Regional Director,

participate in the annual MCJROTC CMP sponsored Air Rifle Postal Match

competition. Each unit may enter one team in the sporter and precision class

and an unlimited number of individual shooters.

13. Physical Fitness Training

a. Each unit will conduct physical fitness training throughout the school

year. This requirement will be met with the successful completion of the

Marine Corps Youth Physical Fitness Test (YPFT) as instructed in the Marine

Corp’s Youth Physical Fitness Program. The Marine Corps Youth Physical

Fitness Program’s philosophy, organization and administration, exercise

descriptions, and evaluation are described in reference (n).

b. The MCJROTC staff will evaluate the physical fitness of their cadets

at least twice during each school year. The initial evaluation will be

completed NLT 31 December while the second will be completed NLT 30 June.

c. In addition to increasing youth awareness of physical fitness, the

Marine Corps Youth Physical Fitness Program provides cadets an opportunity to

participate in a competitive physical fitness program.

14. Competition

. In support of the above curriculum POI requirements, units

are strongly encouraged to participate in various competitive events at the

local, state and national levels such as drill meets and rifle competitions.

Support that may be authorized by military host commanding officers in

connection with competitions are set forth below:

a. Meals

(1) Only the discounted meal rate, as listed in the current Marine

Corps Bulletin 10110 series for "Youth Groups” will be charged for cadets. No

surcharge rate will be applied to this category of personnel. Reimbursement

for meals provided by host commands at Marine Corps installations will be

accomplished locally on an SF 1080 crediting the local Military Personnel

5-19 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

Marine Corps (MPMC) Subsistence appropriation and charging the MCJROTC

activities Operation and Maintenance Marine Corps (O&MMC) appropriation.

(2) While cadets are entitled to subsistence at no expense, SMIs/MIs

and chaperones are required to pay for each meal prior to consumption at the

current government standard meal rate, to include the appropriate surcharge.

(3) Meals consumed at non-military installations must be per reference

(o).

b. Billeting

(1) Billeting for cadets should be of like quality and on a par with

quarters for enlisted Marines, to include adequate supplies of linen and

cleaning supplies.

(2) When adequate enlisted quarters are not available for the cadets,

billeting in BOQs is authorized, provided cadets pay for individual maid

service or the cadets be required to clean the billeting area assigned.

(3) It is recommended that chaperones be billeted in the same

facility as the cadets so that supervision can occur to the maximum extent

possible. If it is impractical for chaperones to be located in proximity to

cadets, billeting should be in BOQ-type facilities that are close to the

cadets' billeting area. The rate charge should be that imposed on personnel

not in receipt of per diem. Chaperones should be advised of the billeting

conditions prior to commencing visits.

(4) In the absence of adequate billeting, commercial facilities may

be contracted.

15. Extra-Curricular Activities

. While participation is not required of

every cadet, instructors should encourage every cadet to participate in at

least one MCJROTC or high school integrated-curricular activity. Because

integrated-curricular activities are so important to the success of a MCJROTC

program, each unit is highly encouraged to maintain at least two extra

curricular teams plus a color guard.

16. Field Trips

a. In support of the POI, units may execute field trips to historical or

cultural locations to include university campuses. Cadets are required to do

preliminary study and may be required to play some role or brief some segment

of the trip.

b. Government funds may be used to contract or pay for curriculum related

tours and/or overnight lodging. Requests for funding support will be

forwarded to the Regional Directors for approval 60 days prior specifically

citing the linkage between the requested trip and learning objectives

contained in the POI.

Chapter 6

Fiscal and Logistics

1. General

a. The instructions contained in this chapter, appropriate Marine Corps

supply instructions, and reference (d) provide for effective control of all

organic property used by MCJROTC units.

b. Accountability for property and funds are the responsibility of the

unit Military Property Custodian.

c. The acquisition of items of clothing, supplies, equipment, and

contracting for services will be governed by established allowance

publications, directives, and as established herein. Requirements for all

items and services will be requested from the SMI to the MCJROTC Program

Logistics Section.

2. Mission of the Program Logistics Section and MCJROTC Unit Military

Property Custodian

a. The mission of the MCJROTC Program Logistics Section is to provide

logistics support to MCJROTC units to include supply and purchasing and

contracting. In addition, the section provides guidance for and management of

the requisitioning, accounting and control of all Consolidated Memorandum

Receipts (CMRs) controlled organic property issued to MCJROTC units.

b. The mission of the MCJROTC unit Military Property Custodian (MPC) is

to provide supply support for the unit by assuring that authorized material is

obtained in sufficient quantities, maintained in a serviceable condition, and

disposed of as authorized by current directives or higher authority.

Generally, this responsibility includes all functions incident to requesting,

receiving, storage, maintenance, issue/recovery, reporting of excess property,

preparation, and submission of necessary source documents to keep required CMR

records current at all times.

3. Military Property Custodian (MPC)

a. The school principal will appoint the MPC. Usually, the MPC shall be

the MI.

b. Such appointment will be made in writing with a copy furnished to the

Regional Director and CG, TECOM (C 46JR). Letters of appointment will be

prepared as shown in enclosure (6). Letters of appointment shall be updated

if the school principal or MPC changes. Copies of the MPC appointment letter

will be kept on file for a period of two years following a change of MPC.

c. The MPC will be bonded in an amount that is no less than the total

monetary value of government property assigned to that MPC and the MCJROTC

unit. The total monetary value of the unit account can be acquired from the

Program Logistics Section at anytime upon request. In addition, specific

“line item” coverage for loss and damage of all government property assigned

to that school’s MCJROTC unit is required. Specific coverage must be in an

amount commensurate with the total monetary value. This coverage should be

evaluated annually in order to ensure the amount of coverage remains adequate.

Coverage under a school district “umbrella policy” is not adequate.

4. Responsible Officer (RO)

a. The MCJROTC instructor assigned by the principal to serve as the MPC

will usually also perform the duties of the RO. The ROs are custody holders,

on behalf of the Marine Corps, of accountable supplies. They account for and

use supplies on behalf of an organization.

b. The RO will be designated in writing by the TECOM Chief of Staff to

assume responsibility for assets within the unit utilizing the letters in

enclosure (7).

1 year after the date the RO ceases to serve as the RO.

6-2 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

5. Consolidated Memorandum Receipt (CMR)

a. The CMR is a document listing all Government property issued to a

particular MPC and therefore a particular MCJROTC unit. The MPC is

responsible to the school for those items listed on the unit's CMR.

b. The CMR is maintained and issued by the Program Logistics Section.

CMR’s will be issued to the MPCs on a semi-annual basis. These

reconciliations provide the MPCs with an opportunity to address discrepancies

in the property accounting records in a timely manner. The CMR may be

produced on a more frequent basis as required. The original of each CMR or

adjustment will be signed and dated by the MPC and returned to the Program

Logistics Section within fifteen days of receipt.

c. Physical inventories are management tools for controlling material.

All material maintained on hand will be inventoried semiannually by the MPC to

determine the accuracy of the formal account property records. The results of

the semiannual inventory will be documented by the Program Logistics Section

and maintained on file until the next annual inventory.

d. Inventory adjustments to property records or requests for

investigative action will be initiated on an “as occurring or daily basis”.

In addition, each allowance item will be inventoried incident with the change

of MPC or Supply Officer. Adjustments to the CMR may be made in accordance

with enclosure (8).

e. The MCJROTC Table of Equipment (T/E) is contained in enclosure (2).

At a minimum, all T/E items and any non-consumable items with a monetary value

of more than $250.00 will be listed on the CMR. Addition of other items to

the CMR shall be at the discretion of the SMI.

f. Property Control

. The unit will control property using appropriate

documents; i.e., NAVMC 10576, NAVMC 10520, NAVMC 10939.

6. Balance Record Transactions and Adjustments

a. Change of Custody Transactions

. A record of all transactions

indicating a change in custody of materiel (i.e., receipts, issues,

redistributions, and disposals) will be retained along with all supporting

documentation for an audit trail, regardless of dollar value, per reference

(h) SSIC 1533.1 in the files of the MPC.

(1) Audit Trail

. Sufficient supporting documentation will be retained

to show that the material reflected on the change of custody transaction was

delivered, issued, or disposed. Supporting documentation can consist of

receipt documentation or letters of unserviceable property issued in lieu of

return of property from repair. Supporting documentation must contain, at a

minimum, the NSN, quantity, document number, condition code of the material,

signature of the person authorized to accept custody of the material and date

received. When the supporting documentation contains no document number or a

document number different from that of the transaction used to adjust the

property record, a copy of the associated change of custody transaction(s)

will be made and attached as supporting documentation to the voucher. Files

providing an audit trail will be maintained in such a manner as to easily

cross-reference between change of custody transaction(s) and supporting

documentation.

(2) Change of Custody Transactions with No Proof of Disposition.

When a change of custody transaction (for issues and disposals) has been

processed/ posted which effects the unit's on hand balance, but no proof of

disposition can be found, causative research will be conducted to determine

the circumstances resulting in the missing documentation. When warranted, a

6-3 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

request for investigation may be submitted and a Missing, Lost, Stolen, or

Recovered (MLSR) Report submitted per reference (p). Change of custody

transactions with no proof of disposition will have a memorandum to the record

prepared and signed by the SMI and retained in the voucher file in lieu of

other supporting documentation.

(3) Receipt (Including Receipt From Redistribution) Transactions With

No Proof of Delivery. While proof of delivery for these transactions should

be retained for causative research purposes, its absence does not necessarily

suggest a need for investigation. Consequently, no vouchering action is

required when proof of delivery is missing.

b. Balance Record Adjustments

. The accounting record must be brought

into alignment with the actual on hand quantity upon conclusion of required

inventories and at any other time imbalances are discovered.

(1) The RO/RI will report all discrepancies that exist between the

CMR and what is actually on hand. These discrepancies must be reported in

writing to the TECOM MCJROTC Logistics Section, as a request for

investigation. Discrepancies reported to the TECOM MCJROTC Logistics Section

will include variances in NSN, quantity, or serial number for items in the

following categories:

(a) Controlled items regardless of dollar value.

(b) Nonexpendable nonserialized property with an extended dollar

value of $1,000 or more.

(c) Serialized uncontrolled property with an extended dollar value

of $800 or more.

(2) All adjustments to property records will be made in accordance

with reference (d). When applicable, causative research will be conducted in

accordance with reference (d).

7. Table of Equipment (T/E) Allowances

a. Efficient programming and budgeting are directly linked to accurate

estimates of recurring unit requirements. These estimates must be derived

from a baseline allowance of unit supplies and equipment and accurate

projections of unit consumption and refill expected on an annual basis. The

T/E identifies allowance of items that are considered essential to MCJROTC

mission accomplishment.

b. Changes to the amount of authorized equipment maintained will be

precipitated by individual units because of geographical differences and

needs. Requests for changes to those allowances will be submitted in writing

to the TECOM MCJROTC Logistics Section. TECOM MCJROTC Logistics Manager will

be the approving authority for allowance change requests.

c. Units may only maintain on hand levels of supply not to exceed T/E

authorized allowances. However, SMIs at their discretion may choose to

maintain lower levels of item density. Units may request waivers to increase

TE allowances citing specific and unique circumstances and justification.

d. Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO) disposal of CMR

property by geographically isolated units may not be feasible. In such

situations, units should request in writing disposal instructions utilizing

enclosure (9). If the disposition instructions direct disposal in the best

interests of the US Government, that letter may be used as supporting

documentation for CMR adjustment in lieu of a DD Form 1348. Unserviceable

clothing or equipment in stock will be declared, marked, and separated.

6-4 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

e. Appropriated funds, such as “Military Personnel, Marine Corps” (MPMC)

Chapter 7

Uniforms, Accessories and Awards

1. Scope

. This chapter sets forth the manner in which uniforms, accessories,

and awards will be worn. The policy with respect to awards is prescribed as

well as the requirements relative to their issuance are set forth.

2. Instructor Uniforms

a. Instructors are authorized and required to wear the Marine Corps

uniform in the performance of their duties in accordance with reference (q).

Marine Instructors employed in either NJROTC or MCJROTC programs are required

under the terms of their certification by CG, TECOM and by references (q) and

(r).

b. Instructors will be in authorized uniform at all times while

conducting curricular, co curricular, or extra curricular activities

associated with the MCJROTC program. Civilian attire is authorized when

specifically directed by the school principal for events such as “Spirit Day”.

These situations should be limited to only those very few occasions when the

entire school faculty and staff are required to be in similar attire.

c. When units are collocated for competitions, ceremonies, or training,

all instructors will be in the same uniform. For local situations, the senior

Marine participating will determine the appropriate uniform and is responsible

for informing other instructor participants. For regional events, the

Regional Director will determine the appropriate uniform and include guidance

either in the LOI or by other means. For national situations, program HQ will

provide guidance in the implementing LOI.

3. Cadet Uniforms

a. A JROTC Memorandum Receipt for Uniform Issue, NAVMC Forms 10939A

(male) and 10939B (female), will be kept on file out for each cadet issued a

MCJROTC uniform.

b. The description, wearing, and placement of the cadet uniforms, rank

insignia, and ribbon awards are set forth in this chapter, and references (q),

(r) and (s).

c. Because of significant differences in geographic locations and climate

conditions of units, the SMI will determine which uniform items will be

issued and determine the stock levels so long as that level does not exceed

T/E allowances.

d. Individuals wearing the Marine Corps uniform will comply with Marine

Corps uniform regulations. Variation from MCO authorized MCJROTC uniforms

such as wearing of Sam Browne Belts, Officer Eagle, Globe and Anchor emblems,

gold chin straps, or colored gloves is expressly prohibited.

e. At no time is the wearing of civilian attire with the MCJROTC uniform

authorized (i.e., red windbreakers, baseball cap styled covers, etc.).

f. The MCJROTC uniform will be worn at least once weekly by all cadets of

the unit.

4. Personal Appearance

a. Cadets will present the best possible image at all times. The Marine

Corps uniform regulations for standards of personal appearance and grooming

7-1 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

are as specific as practicable in order to establish the parameters with which

cadets must comply. Cadets are prohibited from:

(1) Mutilation of the body or any body parts in any manner.

(2) Attaching, affixing or displaying objects, articles, jewelry or

ornamentation to, through or under their skin, tongue or any other body part.

Female cadets, however, may wear:

(a) Small, polished, yellow gold color, ball, or round stud

earrings (post, screw-on, or clip), not to exceed 6 millimeters (about 1/4

inch) in diameter, with the service, blue dress, and blue-white dress.

(b) Small white pearl or pearl-like earrings (post, screw-on, or

clip), not to exceed 6 millimeters (about 1/4 inch) in diameter, with the blue

dress "A" uniforms when worn for social events.

(c) When worn, earrings will fit tightly against, and will not

extend below, the earlobe. Only one earring will be worn on or in each

earlobe.

(d) Earrings will not be worn with the utility uniform, or while

participating in a parade, ceremony, or other similar military functions.

(3) This regulation does not prohibit necessary medical or surgical

procedures conducted by licensed, qualified medical personnel.

b. Marine Corps uniform standards of grooming do not allow eccentric or

faddish styles of hair, jewelry, or eyeglasses. Eccentricities in individual

appearance detract from uniformity and team identity. Because it is

impossible to provide examples of every appropriate or unacceptable style of

"conservative" or "eccentric" grooming and attire, the good judgment of the

MCJROTC instructor is key to enforcement of Marine Corps standards in this

issue, as in other issues.

c. The use of chewing gum or consumption of food while walking in uniform

or while in formation, are examples of activities that detract from an

appropriate military presence. However, good judgment will govern the

application of this policy in the field environment.

d. Articles that may be worn while in uniform include inconspicuous

wristwatches and rings. Sunglasses may not be worn in formation unless the

need to wear sunglasses has been certified by medical authorities. When

authorized for wear in formations, sunglass lenses will be of standard green

or dark green shade or may be the type commonly referred to as

"photosensitive." Sunglasses that do not have "photosensitive" lenses will

not be worn indoors. Eyeglasses/sunglasses, when worn, will be conservative

in appearance. Eccentric or conspicuous eyepieces are prohibited. Chains,

bands, or ribbons will not be attached to eyeglasses; however, eyeglass

restraints are authorized for safety purposes, but must be of conservative

style/design.

e. Cadets may wear neat and conservative religious apparel items as

follows:

(1) Articles of religious apparel which are not visible or apparent

when worn with the uniform.

(2) Visible articles of religious apparel with the uniform which do

not interfere with or replace required uniform articles.

(3) MCJROTC instructors shall be sensitive to the needs of cadets in

7-2 Enclosure (1)

MCO 1533.6E

17 Nov 2008

enforcing uniform regulations so as not to infringe upon the religious

practices of cadets. Should consideration of the religious practice of a

cadet preclude adherence to Marine Corps uniform regulations, cadets will not

be required to wear the uniform. They will however, be required to conform to

Marine Corps grooming standards. This will not result in any adverse

reflection in the grade of the cadet.

5. Grooming Regulations (Male)

a. No eccentricities in the manner of wearing head, facial, or body hair

will be permitted. If applied, dyes, tints, bleaches and frostings, which

result in natural colors, are authorized. The hair color must complement the

person's complexion tone. Color changes that detract from a professional

image are prohibited.

b. Fingernails will be kept clean and neatly trimmed so as to not detract

from the military image or present a safety hazard. Nail polish for male

cadets is not allowed.

c. Hair will be neat and closely trimmed. The hair may be clipped at

the edges of the side and back and will be evenly graduated from zero

length at the hairline in the lower portion of the head to the upper

portion of the head. Block-style trimming of hair on the back of the head

is not authorized. Hair will not be over 3 inches in length fully

extended on the upper portion of the head. The back and sides of the head

below the hairline may be shaved to remove body hair. Sideburns will not

extend below the top of the orifice of the ear. Sideburns will not be

styled to taper or flare. The length of an individual hair of the

sideburn will not exceed 1/8 inch when fully extended.

6. Grooming Regulations (Female)

a. Head hair will be styled so as not to interfere with the proper wear

of uniform headgear. Hair, which protrudes from beneath properly worn

headgear in an unsightly manner, is considered excessive, regardless of

length.

b. Nail polish as it applies to female cadets will fall under standards

in reference (q).

7. MCJROTC Cadet Officer Insignia

a. The description for cadet company and field grade officer insignia is

set forth below:

(1) The cadet company grade officer insignia consists of a flat disk,

3/4 of an inch in diameter (large size) and 1/2 an inch wide in diameter

(small size).

(2) The Cadet field grade officer insignia consists of flat lozenges,

3/4 of an inch wide by 1 1/4 inches long (large size) and 1/2 an inch wide by

10. Awards

. Awards are for the purpose of publicly recognizing meritorious

service and outstanding achievement that distinguishes an individual or unit

from others. They provide a means of recognizing individual cadets for their

performance and participation in the MCJROTC program. The proper use of

awards can improve morale and provide an incentive for greater efforts and

achievement. However, the indiscriminate employment and proliferation of

awards can destroy their intended purpose.

11. MCJROTC Ribbon Awards

a. The CG, TECOM (C 46JR) authorizes ribbon awards to recognize superior

performance by units or individual cadets. These awards are designated to

Legion of Valor Nomination

The Legion of Valor (LOV) Bronze Cross for Achievement is awarded annually to

one cadet from each Marine Corps Region who has just completed the junior year

of high school and demonstrates leadership potential. This award is

considered the highest individual award bestowed upon a MCJROTC cadet.

The Legion of Valor Bronze Cross for Achievement is sponsored annually by The

Legion of Valor of the United States of America, Inc. The Legion of Valor was

organized on April 23, 1890, in Washington, DC, by a group of Civil War and

Indian War Campaign veterans who were recipients of the Medal of Honor. At

its inception, the name was "The Medal of Honor Legion". The membership was

augmented following the Spanish Campaign of 1898 and following the Philippines

Insurrection. The membership was never large and with the passage of years

and subsequent demise of members, on November 25, 1918, the recipients of the

Army Distinguished Service Cross, the second ranking Army decoration for

extraordinary heroism, were admitted to membership. In 1933, members of the

United States Navy and Marine Corps who were recipients of the Navy Cross, the

second ranking Navy decoration for extraordinary heroism, were invited to join

the membership and the name of this prestigious organization was changed to

"The Army and Navy Legion of Valor". On August 4, 1955, Public Law 224, 84th

Congress, incorporated The Army and Navy Legion of Valor of the United States.

With the creation of the Air Force Medal of Honor and the Air Force Cross, the

membership invited the recipients of these medals to become members and on

June 21, 1961, with P.L. 87-56, the name of this elite organization became the

"Legion of Valor of the United States of America, Inc".

The Legion of Valor has maintained a consistent interest in recognizing

outstanding performance. In 1957, at the 67th National Reunion, the Legion of

Valor created a Silver Cross for Heroism and a Bronze Cross for Achievement.

In establishing these awards, members of the Legion of Valor concluded that

the Silver Cross should be reserved to recognize actions involving the saving

or preservation of life and that the decoration could be conferred on any

person whose conduct met such standards. On the other hand, the Bronze Cross

for Achievement should be available to those cadets of the Reserve Officers

Training Corps who have demonstrated excellence in military, scholastic, and

civic affairs.

The Bronze Cross for Achievement program began of a limited scale in 1951 when

the District of Columbia Chapter established an incentive for excellence in

the Washington High School Corps of Cadets. The national body of the Legion

of Valor ordained that the program be converted to a nationally-sponsored

program in 1957. Thus it was extended to the Fifth U.S. Army in 1959, to the

Third U.S. Army in 1960, and in 1961 to all Army ROTC and NDCC cadets. In

1962, college-level cadets of the U.S. Air Force ROTC became eligible to

receive the Bronze Cross, and in 1975, college-level midshipmen of the U.S.

Navy were given the privilege of competing for the Cross. High school cadets

of MCJROTC also participate in the program.
