How far above the pocket should male ribbons be worn?

The correct distance for wearing male ribbons above the pocket is 1/4 inch. This measurement is specified in the uniform regulations for the NJROTC, which dictate precise guidelines for uniform appearance to ensure consistency and professionalism among cadets. The placement of ribbons in this manner not only reflects attention to detail but also honors the achievements represented by those ribbons. Proper placement conveys a sense of pride and discipline, essential qualities in the NJROTC program. Other distances, such as 1/2 inch or 1 inch, do not adhere to the established standards, making them incorrect for proper ribbon placement.
