- That's me. First Sergeant Corea ! (: And I'm going to tell you about my favorite passion ! (: You may ask why I'm wearing that uniform. Well, it's because at my school, we got a AJROTC course. It teaches you stuff about the army. This uniform is for only presenting the colors. (The Rising of The U.S and Georgia Flag)
I wore this uniform on Graduation. I was one of the cadets that presented it. That exact day i got a promotion. I became a Sergeant, but now I'm a First Sergeant. My previous rank was a cadet, but for doing most of the after school activites, i got promoted.
The retangular things on the right side of my chest are ribbons. You earn these by doing stuff in school. I got ribbons for being a leader, doing parade, drill team, flag detail, and just being good in class.
I got a Medal for being an excellent leader in my class. My Medal is called The Military Officer Association of America.
The cords i got on my sholders are for doing Drill Team (red cord) and Flag Details (white cord).
Drill Team is when you drill and match around. When the commander tell you " RIGHT, FACE! " you turn to your right in a snap! The way you get a red cord is by going to competitions. You compete with other schools to see who is the over-all champ. Unfortuneately, we didnt make it to state, but this year, im determine to make it! Also, this year, I am commanding an all girl unarmed squard. This is going to be so much fun!
Now, Flag detail is a very simple task to do. If you want a white cord, all you got to do it rise the flag and take down the flag, for about 15 times, and thats it! It's very easy. (:
Well, thats about it, if you want to ask more questions about JROTC or tell me stuff about you, please comment below!
Thanks for read!! (:
