Annual Military Inspection (AMI)

AMI is an annual event held in the Lassiter gym, in which the Unit is inspected by the Commander of NJROTC for our local area (Department of the U.S. Navy). It is conducted to ensure that the Unit operates and maintains U.S. Navy standards. 
ALL cadets in issued uniform are inspected for:

  • Proper wearing of the Navy uniform (cover, appearance of uniform, insignia, name tag, medals, ribbons, shoes, shiny belt buckle, and polished/shined leather shoes
  • Personal appearance (hair appearance & cut to U.S. Navy standards, clean shaven)
  • Knowledge – General U.S. Navy knowledge, General Orders & Chain of Command
  • Classrooms, Unit Offices, Unit Supplies & files are inspected & audited
  • The semi-formal inspection includes an exhibition of armed Color Guard & unarmed drill followed with a “Pass and Review” parade of the entire Unit.

Parents and family members are highly encouraged to attend the Pass and Review portion of the inspection, which includes parade march and demonstrations by the various drill teams. The cadets work incredibly hard leading up to this event and appreciate seeing their parents/family cheering from the stands.

Any current or former Military personnel are highly desired and encouraged to volunteer to assist in preparing the cadets for inspection prior to as well day of AMI. It’s an opportunity to be a positive influence & mentor these young cadets and pass the torch of knowledge, experience & military tradition.
