The company is for all cadets that are willing to strive and to have fun. JROTC has L.E.T. (Leadership, Education, and Training) levels. If it is your first year of JROTC then you are a first year LET, if you area second year in JROTC then you are a second year LET and so on. Each leader is given a seperate rank to show leadership. The highest rank in the company is the captain (or the Company Commander). The lowest rank is Private, which is a rookie first year cadet. You advance in rank when you demonstrate good leadership skills, determination, dedication, and represent JROTC with pride. Here are some examples of what the companies do when they work as a successful unit.
