Navy JROTC Moms
For moms of current or past NJROTC members. They may not actually be in the Navy, but they wear the uniform and learn to walk the walk - and many of them will eventually join, either as commissioned officers, or enlisted.

Were you aware that there are 100 NROTC slots reserved for NJROTC cadets every year? They are nominated through their NJROTC units, and are selected independently from the rest of the NROTC scholarship applications.

I just finished converting one of my older son's old NWU trousers (ripped leg and paint) into a pencil skirt for my daughter. Except for the fact that I am terrible at hems, I think it turned out pretty well. She plans to wear it with a silver and bling belt, and a navy Navy t-shirt with a bling Hello Kitty. Seriously cute outfit.
However, the reason for the conversion is a little weird. My daughter's school is apparently planning to ban camouflage, based on its use by some gangs. Which confuses me because we don't have any gangs around here, in our little mostly rural area. Not that I know of, anyway.
Her NJROTC unit is planning a protest Monday, they are all going to wear as much camo (of various types) as possible, plus their friends. Since we didn't have anything but our son's old uniforms, this was our easiest option.
What "brilliant" person tries to ban camouflage in a school with a JROTC unit?
