In the U.S. Navy, advancement in rank depends on the number of vacancies for those ranks, meeting eligibility requirements, passing an advancement exam and a recommendation for advancement by the Commanding Officer or Officer in Charge. NJROTC works in a similar way as cadets are tested on basic military knowledge by taking advancement exams.
After passing the written exam with at least an 80% for all junior ranks and 90% for Chief Petty Officer, cadets are then challenged with a practical exam. Military skills ranging from simple drill to armed drill movements with swords and rifles, and commanding squadrons of cadets are demonstrated. For staff officers in NJROTC, they are required to either pass a knowledge test that is similar to those taken for enlisted advancement or write a report based on books from Topper Company’s leadership library. Cadets are given four opportunities for advancement throughout the year.
Please congratulate these cadets for their hard work and dedication!
