By: FEDweek StaffThe Army is now authorized to expand its pool of junior ROTC instructors. The Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) reported that Congress gave the approval to allow any recently separated officers and non-commissioned officers who served honorably for at least 10 years to work in the service’s 1,700 programs.
Eligible candidates must have reached the ranks of staff sergeant through sergeant major, warrant officer, or captain through colonel. They also must hold at least an associate’s degree.
Some National Guard and reserve-component members may also be able to apply.
“The additional eligibility for junior ROTC instructors will allow men and women who have served honorably in our Army to pass their knowledge and experience on to younger generations,” said retired Lt. Gen. Leslie Smith, AUSA’s vice president for leadership and education. “As a former junior ROTC cadet, I know the value these programs have in building better citizens and future leaders of our nation,”
Along with the expanded eligibility, the Army also has set up a new pay model for JROTC instructors who are not retirees – based on rank, education, type of position and school location.
