Although academics and cognitive processes are certainly a part of Navy JROTC programs, they also emphasize the virtues of leadership and teach students how to set examples for their peers since "A key emphasis within the JROTC is the teaching of leadership principles that were validated by the U.S. Army in 1970" (Clapper, 2001, p
