Uniforms:
As a part of JCC each cadet will be required to wear a uniform. Proper wear of the uniform is a
part of the cadet’s grade and the weekly inspection will occur on Tuesdays/Wednesdays of each
week. The uniform consists of a button down shirt, Black Pants and Black Shoes/Boots. Pants
not approved for wear are skinny jeans/pants. Pants must be of standard cut. Shoes may be
tennis shoes or dress shoes as long as they are black in color. Boots are required for members of
special teams (color guard, drill team, orienteering team, etc). Lost uniforms or uniforms
damaged or destroyed through neglect will be the student’s responsibility to replace.

The Belt and JCC Shirt are returned to SGT Harral at the end of the school year.

Cadet is responsible to keep a clean, neat, and serviceable uniform. Also, the Cadet is
responsible to wear this uniform when directed by chain of command. The wearing of the
uniform is required, normally once per week, usually on Tuesdays or Wednesdays depending on

Discipline:
Cadet discipline is a cornerstone of the Junior Cadet Corps and conduct and behavior standards
are reinforced through following the policy in “I AM A CADET” (contained in the JCC Cadet
Handbook issued to every cadet) which cadets are to sign the first week of school. This policy is
in effect for all class at all times. If a cadet violates this policy in any of their courses and a cadet
in a leadership position views the violation the leader will complete a Discipline Report and turn
it in to SGT Harral. The Discipline Form is attached for review. Physical Fitness is a part of the
Junior Cadet Corps and reminders of cadet standards are enforced through physical fitness
standards complying with the Fitness Gram for the cadets age group. The following will also be
implemented:

JCC Policy:
To instill pride, respect, and responsibility in each Cadet, the following policy is established.

and devices. I will wear my uniform with pride, and always keep my uniform buttoned,

tied on properly, shoes shined, and shirttail tucked in. NO bulky items will be placed into
my pockets, including my hands, except to retrieve an item.
Maintenance is my responsibility and I will ensure my uniform is clean, pressed, and
serviceable at all times.
If I am absent on uniform day, I will wear my uniform on the day I return to school. I
understand that my uniform grade is a test grade and must be made up in the same
manner. Failure to wear my uniform will result in an unsatisfactory grade, reduction in
grade and/or other disciplinary action. When wearing the uniform to make up for missed
day, Cadet will wear the uniform the entire school day.
While in uniform, I will not wear extreme hairstyles such as braids, pigtails, dog-ears,
etc. I will style my hair so that it reflects an attractive tapered military appearance.
If I am a female, I realize that I am authorized to wear a small oval gold, silver, or white
pearl earring, only, one on each ear lobe. My nail polish, if worn, must be conservative in
nature and in good taste. If I am male, I realize that I may not wear earrings or nail polish
while in uniform.
I understand that I am responsible to correctly hem the length of my trousers and that this
will be done using needle and thread or hemming tape. I further realize those staples,
pins, and other types of tape, or any other device(s) are not authorized and unacceptable
and will result in a failing grade.
I will always wear my uniform with pride.
JCC Special Teams:
Cadets that do not maintain a passing grade in all core subjects will not be allowed to participate
on Special Teams. If a cadet is not allowed, due to grades, to participate they will not regain
