JROTC Leadership Awards Program
JROTC Awards Chair LCDR Terry Tassin, USN Ret. making a presentation to Alexandra Sanchez of Cortez High School Navy JROTC
The purpose of the MOAA JROTC Medal is to recognize an outstanding cadet who is in their next-to-last year in the JROTC program and who has demonstrated exceptional potential for military leadership. The presentation of the MOAA JROTC medal is one way the Arizona Chapter fosters a positive military recognition among the youth of the community.
To be eligible for an award, a candidate must:
- Be in the next-to-last year of a JROTC program
- Be in good academic standing
- Demonstrate a high degree of loyalty to the unit, school, and our country

The individual’s unit commander, who coordinates the selection and presentation with our chapter, selects the award recipient.
