(Editor’s Note: Meyer is Senior Naval Science Instructor of the NJROTC at CHS)
All Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corp programs are required to be inspected by the Area Manager, who is the liaison between the units and the US Navy, at least once every other academic school year to determine whether or not requirements and standards for retention of units in the program are being met. Units not in an evaluation or probation status must complete an “Off-Site Evaluation” during those academic years in which the Area Manager is not performing a Unit Inspection.
