MCJROTC Marine Instructor (MI)

Marine Instructors normally manage the administrative and supply requirements of the unit in addition to their teaching responsibilities. The MI functions as a regular faculty member, working with the SMI, but may also work with other school officials, faculty members, as well as community leaders and parents to maintain and strengthen the program.

Instructors are required to maintain traditional Marine Corps standards of decorum and personal appearance. MCJROTC instructors must be certified by the Commanding General, Training and Education Command, Quantico, Va.  Applications are accepted not earlier than one year nor later than three years after the effective date of retirement. All applications from retiring or retired Marine Officers and Staff Noncommissioned Officers (SNCO) will be considered.
