The uniform is a major part of the JROTC experience, necessitating neatness and encouraging cadets to look their best. As such, a lot of effort goes into making a cadet's uniform look good. Whether it be ribbons, medals, or a new rank, most things one earns in JROTC can be attached to the uniform. As well as the uniform cadets also have to make themselves presentable. Both males and females have hair and jewelry requirements/restrictions. With the uniforms a beret is assigned and required to be shaped and shaved. Click here for a tutorial on how to do so.
