Welcome to Gaia! ::

That was funny, but scary since you've pretty much spelled out my life.

But these ones really just freaked me out by how accurate they were:

1. You watch Cadet Kelly just to point out the mistakes. - GAHH!! So true. Everytime I watch the drill compettion scene I cringe. "WAHHH! What they hell are they doing? That's not right!"
2. You call drill commands and correct cadets in your sleep.
3. You wake up at 0200 to write down some killer cadences you just thought of.
4. Nearly hald the clothes you own are various uniforms for various seasons.
6. You critize the boy scouts for their poor attempts at presenting colors.
9. You have so many ribbons people are amazed that your left arm isn't sagging
10. You get authorization to wear your uniform to non-JROTC functions.
11. You call your kid by his last name.
12. Your sitting in class and see a teacher walk in and are about to call the room to attention before you realize your not in JROTC anymore- That happened to me once, but the only difference was, I actually did it, and the three other cadets that were in class with me went to attention.
14. You find yourself squaring corners at your house AND in public. - Oh yeah. I remeber the first day I ever had drill practice, I spent my whole afternoon at home, practicing in my basment.
16. The word "outstanding" replaces every other word in your vocubulary for something that it is positive.
17. You never refer to it as working out, it's always PT.
19. You call cadence outloud (either to yourself or to the world) when marching to school or the bus stop.
20. It takes you a second post to realize that you said "march" to school instead of "walk." But truthfully, you do walk at 120 paces per minute anyway.
21. When trying to walk with a group of JROTC cadet friends, you often find yourself stopping and waiting for them to catch up. -...That happes ALL THE TIME. We even sing jodies while we march down the hall to class. We're ridiculous.
22. You don't "run," you double-time (while pondering why "double time" isn't actually double quick time.)
26. Your eyes flair up when you see civilians covered indoors.. with their covers on crooked.- Yeah, I just get this urge to march up and order them to give me a 341 (I'm sad).
29. You have a "I love me" wall somewhere in your house with every certificate ever awarded to you on it. -I laughed to the point of tears at this one, because I have a special wall in my living room lined with all my ROTC awards and certificates.
30. The thought of 'To the Colors' 'Revielle' and 'Taps' brings goosebumps to your arms. - So true, even now my heart jumps at the playing of the National Anthem.
32. When you see a flag inproperly displayed, you immediantly fix it and then proceed to tell the owner about customs and courtsies to the flag. - Oh man, I've done that so many times. it just urks me when I see the flag flown improperly. Everytime i walk down a street now "That's wrong...That's wrong... That's definatley wrong... Who the hell put that up?"
33. New uniforms send chills up your spine.- Ho yeah, I remember when I became a second year and I was handed my first Service dress coat to replace my flight jacket, I nearly cried.

I have more though...

When you and the rest of your JROTC friends end up sitting together, no matter where you are or what you're doing.

wow, i've been in far too long

GAH! Mega huge bump!

121. You can't sit still because the AS-I cadet's single ribbon is on upside down.
122. You correct the SASI on his own uniform.
123. You spazz out when someone spells "lieutenant," "colonel," or "sergeant" wrong.

125: When your friends can't get your attention with your first name.
126: When your friends finally get your attention by having to yell out your rank.
127: When you carry your deck knife with you everywhere.
128: When you spend time waiting in class by splicing sections of line.
129: When you call 'rope', 'line'.
130: When half of your CD collection is various branches' running cadences.
131: When you know the layout of your drill center better than your own school.
132: When you call the gymnasium the 'drill deck'.

Hells yeah! I'm in Army JROTC, too, so don't feel bad. whee

When you wear your BDU ACU and Class B everyday to school
When you start doing drill in the middle of public
When you run calling out Cadences in public
But that means you are a JROTC cadet for life you show pride in it and you dont care what others say
