Each spring the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) presents the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) Leadership Medal to a cadet at each of the fifteen high schools in the SENCLAND area. The recipient cadet is selected by the Senior Instructor at each of the high schools who meet the following criteria:
* Be in the next-to-last year of a JROTC program.
* Be in good academic standing.
* Be of high moral character.
* Evidence of high order of loyalty to the unit, school, and the country.
* Demonstrate exceptional potential for military leadership.
Eligibility criteria for the Marine Corps JROTC program is somewhat different. In that program the cadet must
* Be in the upper 10 percent of his high school class.
* Have an "A" average in the MCJROTC academic subjects.
* Be holding a cadet officer billet.
* Be nominated in his junior year.
The cadet receives a medal to be worn above his/her left pocket and a certificate recognizing his/her accomplishments. The medals are presented by representatives of our chapter. There are 10 Army, 1 Marine, 2 Navy and 2 Air Force units. Click below for Schools and their websites.
Comments from another Ceremony attended by Col Paul Woodbury, USA-Ret.
Went well last evening. Most of the military (ret) there were in Blue dress. Sam gave his farewell speech as he stepped down and re-retired. Col Joe Calisto who changed commands at Sunny Point and retired on March 1st was the default presenter for the unit awards. My cadet, Randy Johnson was installed as the new commander of cadets in the flag changing hands ceremony.
What surprised and delighted me most was the size of the JROTC unit. There must have been between 75 to 85 young army cadets all in uniform and looking sharp.

JROTC Award at Hoggard HS
The Awards Ceremony on the Battleship on 16 May included the presentation of the MOAA medal, and certificate to Cadet Ensign Terrell Roberts. Terrell is a Junior and is on the Hoggard football team, playing the position of defensive back. I talked with him after the ceremony and pinned his medal on. His intentions are to attend college upon graduation. I encouraged him to include in his search the academies as well as ROTC. He replied that he planned to do that.
He also was awarded the Principal's Medal for the Junior Class and the National Sojourner's Medal.
