Which of the following is NOT a listed reason for removal from JROTC?

• A. Missing class without excuse
• B. Failure to maintain acceptable standards
• C. Individual request
• D. Any reason deemed appropriate by the SASI/ASI/Principal

Answer: (A)

The situation tests understanding of what actions trigger removal from JROTC. In most program policies, removal is allowed for three explicit avenues: when a cadet fails to maintain acceptable standards (behavior, academics, participation, appearance, etc.), when a cadet personally requests to leave, or when an administrator (SASI/ASI/Principal) determines removal is necessary for any appropriate reason. Missing class without an excuse isn’t listed as a standalone removal criterion; it’s treated as an attendance issue that would typically be addressed through school procedures or linked to the broader standards rather than as an automatic removal from the program. So while unexcused absences can influence whether a cadet meets the program’s standards, the act of missing class itself isn’t a listed reason for removal.
