Core Abilities

Core Abilities describe the broad, life-long skills that every Cadet needs for success in future life and career endeavors. The core abilities are a result of the goals and values that drive the JROTC program and are built upon the program’s four years through integrating various lesson competencies and skills throughout the JROTC curriculum. The Core Abilities are:

• Apply critical thinking techniques

• Communicate using verbal, non-verbal, visual, and written techniques
• Do your share as a good citizen in your school, community, country, and the world
• Take responsibility for your actions and choices
