What is required for a cadet to be awarded for efforts in recruiting?

To be awarded for efforts in recruiting, a cadet must demonstrate a significant impact on the program's growth and sustainability. Enrolling two students is considered a meaningful contribution to recruitment, as it reflects the individual's ability to connect with potential cadets and successfully encourage them to join. This criterion recognizes direct involvement and commitment, which is essential in expanding the NJROTC program.

Convincing five students to join may seem like a strong criterion, but it does not necessarily translate into actual enrollments, which are the focus of recruitment awards. Assisting in a recruiting campaign across schools is valuable, but it may lack direct personal achievement compared to enrolling students. Presenting at a recruitment fair is an important role but does not directly measure the outcome of actual enrollments, which is the primary goal of recruitment efforts. Hence, demonstrating the successful enrollment of two students directly aligns with the intent of recognition in cadet recruitment efforts.
