Congratulations to the PLAINVIEW NJROTC for being recognized again this year for DISTINGUISHED UNIT with Academic Honors. Our area consists of 54 units and the top 30 percentile earns this distinguished award based on the year’s reported accomplishments of compiled data documented and submitted for review.
The Distinguished Unit Award program is based on an annual competition among units in each area. The Distinguished Unit Award should be based on all factors of the program. Distinguished Unit will maintain the distinction for the academic year following the year in which the designation was earned. Units designated for the Distinguished Unit Award will receive a certificate signed by CNSTC conferring the award to the unit. The Distinguished Unit will be awarded a blue "Distinguished Unit" flag streamer for the unit guidon with the year of achievement in yellow numerals, e.g., Distinguished Unit – 2013. Cadets of designated schools will be eligible to wear the Distinguished Unit Ribbon, provided they were unit members during the academic year in which the Distinguished Unit Award was awarded.
Each Area Manager will submit the list of area schools recommended for the Distinguished Unit Award to NSTC CD for final approval by 1 May. The number of schools listed for the award will not exceed 30 percent of the number of units assigned to that Area Manager. From among the schools designated as a Distinguished Unit, NSTC CD shall designate Naval Honor Schools using the same criteria used to select the Distinguished Unit Award. The number of schools selected as Naval Honor Schools will not exceed 66 percent of the 30 percent of the units selected as Distinguished Units.
NSTC CD will distribute the list of schools designated as Distinguished Units and Naval Honor Schools to each Area Manager, principal, SNSI/Lead NNDCCI, and the military academies. The administrative head of these specially designated schools may nominate three eligible NJROTC/NNDCC cadets as candidates for appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, three for appointment to the U.S. Military Academy, and three for appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy.
