What Are We not Doing? Eliminate Cadet Travel

Orientation Field Trips

Leadership Training

Athletic & Academic Competitions

Do Not Replace Unit Closures…3-5 School Units per Year

Defer Curriculum and Textbook Purchases

Defer Replacing Uniforms

● Navy memo to the Secretary of Defense and Congress emphasizes support for 646 NJROTC

– Budget constraints for out-years may impact program support

● NJROTC will be required to “do more with less” like many Navy programs

Fundraising Traditionally Pays for Items Not Authorized to be Paid by Navy Funds and Shortfalls

Pizza Parties

Birthday Cakes

Movie Tickets

If Navy Doesn’t Pay for its Share…More Unit Fundraising

Direct Donations from Friends and Family

Car Washes

Cleaning Stadiums

Entertainment book, etc.

Less Navy Funding More Fundraising If Fundraising Efforts Unsuccessful Less Activities Less Enrollment Less Diversity, Non-sustainable Program.
