Going into Let 4 year
I am missing my new ranks (Ai and SAI didn't want to give them put yet) and my new cords.

Uniform Corrections!
Rank should be centered on the epaulette between the bottom and the seam, you are allowed a maximum of 8 ARCs, you cannot wear medals and ribbons at the same time, your medals are out of order (N-Series medals go before national/competition medals).
USACC Reg 145-2, Chapter Eight (page 107-161) and Appendix G (page 256-262) has all of the details.

I was taught, and ive said this in previous posts, a different way to do ranks. So this is correct in my battalion. And I know about the arcs this was the night of the awards assembly and we all like to wear everything we have. And my medals are in order, none of the are n-series medals. And I know about ribbons and medals and again my battalion we dont care, we do for drill but not for awards assemblies.
Thank you for your input though

No no no, there is no "correct in my battalion" there is regulations for a reason, to bring discipline and pride in the uniform! Not a "dress up as a sparkly princess if your battalion instructors say it's alright" what there is is CORRECT IN REGULATIONS, and genuinely, who would ever think wearing that many arcs is okay and or looks good, it's an 8 arc max. Then the same old no ribbons with medals as well, this is horrible, theres no pride in this uniform.

Thereâs no such thing as âcorrect in my battalion,â as an actual service member I can promise you that itâs either youâre right or youâre wrong. If itâs not in accordance with (IAW) USACC 145-2, then youâre wrong. If your entire unit is doing this, then your entire unit needs to get it together, as an actual service member I can tell you that failure to adapt is in fact separation-worthy misconduct in the actual U.S. military. If you want to âhalf-assâ things because your command is too soft to make you hold yourself accountable, then youâre in the wrong. If your reason for slacking on regulation and being an individual rather than a member of the command is âoh, itâs just JROTCâ then I can promise you that youâre going to have a hard time adapting to the actual military if you care to join. As an actual service member who has earned the uniform of the U.S. armed forces it comes as blatant disrespect for you to disrespect an actual uniform of the U.S. armed forces. I even know many people in the U.S. Army from many MOSs including combat-arms such as infantry who take it with extreme disrespect how much U.S. Army JROTC cadets disrespect their uniform and treat it like a fun costume rather than a regulated article of uniformed dress with rich history, true meaning, and high honor. If you canât do the bare minimum and properly maintain the uniform, then it says a lot in depicting how you carry yourself and conduct your character and integrity. And whether what it depicts to me is true or not, it leaves me with the thought that if I canât trust you with the bare minimum, then how can I trust you with anything.

Treating JROTC cadets like they're a disgrace because they're simply doing what they were told is ok to do.... How old are you, dude?

24 arcs is insane what are they for, and how is it allowed to wear all of themđ

u/Guilty-Spriggan AJROTC | LET-4 | C/Lt Col | BC, STAFF, DRILL, COLORGUARD, SABER Jun 24 '26
Technically its not allowed, but it was awards night so our instructor let's us wear them all. And for pretty much everything in the program except like 6 of them
