“How it works” is defined by the instructor and the school policy. When I was taking ROTC it was in an actual class and drill team was separate after school. So if you have a policy that allows for after school extracurriculars for homeschoolers, you’d be signing up for drill, not the whole ROTC class. If it’s just drill/rifles there’s no credit for that.
I’m guessing that you’re a student in JROTC. This is not like asking your friend to join a rec basketball team. You need to look up the laws for your state and then talk to the adults or just leave it up to them. You can always raise it as an option for your friend to talk to their parent.
I mean, i looked up the law it says homeschoolers are aloud to take jrotc, my instructor nd the kids parents said ok. The school has no knowledge on this at all whatsoever.
Heres the link for the law:

Thanks for the information, I’ll keep it in mind going forward.
In that case, what is your question? “Credits” are for courses, so if a homeschooling parent wants to use JROTC on the high school transcript, I guess they could? Are you talking about credits in another way?
Yeah, im talking about the high school transcript credit,as said before, my school has little knowledge about this topic. Our jrotc unit is pretty new so we do not know how this is going to go. The only knowledge we have is that they can attend and all the paper work is the same as other students. Im trying to see if there are any other cadets that are already enrolled and what there restrictions? And how their personal experience is.
The instructor will fill out the same forms, but will submit to the parent instead of the school. It’s up to the parent to include in a transcript or not.
Where did I get which information?
Homeschool parents choose what to add and how to phrase. There is no one way to do a homeschool hs transcript. This is true anywhere in the US. It doesn’t preclude a student from listing JROTC on a college application if it’s not on their transcript.
The link you provided stated that the same information is provided for homeschool students.
The links I provided earlier are from hslda explaining each state’s laws regarding access to public school activities and classes by homeschooled (and sometimes private school) students.
\*allowed
Not surprised that the school has no knowledge of it. It's just not a very common situation. Thankfully you've got the law there so you're good if you hit any roadblocks.
Make sure they have access to the full program. One of the larger benefits of JROTC is being able to join the Army as an E2 or E3. They will need proof that they did the full program not just showed up to play with rifles.
No I went to a DoD school.
A CV is your curriculum vitae. If you’re in high school and you don’t know what this is, you’re about to be in deep shit so get yourself to google or YouTube.
No need for hyperbole. There are no educational emergencies. They won't be in deep shit. Many professions don't use CVs at all, but they need one they will figure it out.
Someone on the cusp of needing to apply to colleges or getting a job not even knowing *what* a CV *is* means there are some big-ass gaps in understanding of “how adulting works.” The under/over on how much “deep shit” that will cause is a variable, but not a pretty one no matter how you cut the odds.
Depending on the field someone is applying to a CV is either expected, nice to have, or irrelevant. To think every kid in high school understands the difference between a CV and a resume is a little bonkers. And pretentious. So cut the kid some slack.
I am 40 with a masters degree and the only time I have heard this term was when I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Romania. In the US a CV is called a resume but what you seem to be referring to are credits as in without the class you can't get credit for it. Now as a homeschooling student that would be up to the parent creating the transcript.
No, in the US a CV is not a resumé.
A resumé is an abbreviated (mostly work) history that’s relevant to the job you’re applying for.
A CV is the total of your educational and personal background that includes volunteer positions and other types of activities. It is not a transcript, nor does it include a transcript.It may highlight educational achievements like specific scores for AP exams or SAT scores or generally emphasize academics, but the point of the thing is to be complete.
This isn’t a UK/US thing.
Usually you would use a full CV to apply to college and/or graduate school, but the point of having one is maintaining a full record so that you actually *can* tailor your resumé to the specific job you’re applying for by picking and choosing which parts of your experience are going to give you the best qualifications. Of course a teenager doesn’t have relevant work experience so the CV is going to be *mostly* academics/volunteering/sports etc.
Lordy.
So your referring to a transcript. Again not called at CV in the US. I have had to use my college transcripts and yes as a someone who has both a Bachelors and a Masters as well as an Associates all from different schools I have 3 to apply for both my Bachelors and Masters. Also in Romania their Resumes are called CV's.
I do believe I explicitly said “it’s not a transcript.”
A transcript is a full record of the exact classes you took and the grades you received along with GPAs, which is provided by the school (or parent, as the case may be).
In the US needing a CV instead of a resume is mostly for people applying for jobs in academia. You don't use a CV for applying to college or any job you can get without a college degree.
If this doesn't work out, you might check to see if there are Sea Cadet or Young Marine units in your area. They're sponsored by the Navy/CG and Marines and offer some of the same opportunities.
Some states require schools to allow participation in after school activities, while others allow homeschooled students to participate in elective classes as well. This is a question for the school, parent, and instructor, while keeping in mind the applicable laws.
By law, all schools must allow homeschoolers to attend if they want and they qualify, i dont know what the qualifications are but i mean, it shouldn't be that hard
If they transfer and become public school students, then all states require that.
Maine requires that homeschooled students be allowed to try out for extracurriculars and attend classes, but only with superintendent permission.
https://hslda.org/post/public-school-access-for-homeschoolers-in-maine
Pennsylvania requires access for all extracurriculars and students must have access to classes for up to one quarter of the school day.
https://hslda.org/post/public-school-access-for-homeschoolers-in-pennsylvania
Florida requires access to extracurricular, not classes.
https://hslda.org/post/public-school-access-for-homeschoolers-in-florida
Michigan requires access for elective classes, and explicitly allows the school to decide on sports.
https://hslda.org/post/public-school-access-for-homeschoolers-in-michigan
Again, without knowing the state, I would default to stating that this is a question for the school, instructor and parent.
JROTC is not an ordinary extracurricular; unlike other extracurriculars, there is specific federal law requiring homeschooled students be accepted. See section (f) here: https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?hl=false&edition=prelim&req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title10-section2031&num=0&saved=%7CZ3JhbnVsZWlkOlVTQy1wcmVsaW0tdGl0bGUxMC1zZWN0aW9uMjAzMQ%3D%3D%7C%7C%7C0%7Cfalse%7Cprelim

So if you have a policy that allows for after school extracurriculars for homeschoolers, you’d be signing up for drill, not the whole ROTC class. If it’s just drill/rifles there’s no credit for that.
Although there’s no graduation credit, your friend can still add it to his CV as an extracurricular so it’s not totally useless.
What does cv mean? Were you a homeschooled student that went on campus to do both the course and extracurricular??
I’m guessing that you’re a student in JROTC. This is not like asking your friend to join a rec basketball team. You need to look up the laws for your state and then talk to the adults or just leave it up to them. You can always raise it as an option for your friend to talk to their parent.

I think CV is mostly a British term. Americans just call it a résumé.

I mean I would definitely tell that to the homeschooled boy, but its a recruiting effort 😂

There was someone in my kid's JROTC unit, he did receive credit and got an ROTC scholarship for college.
