Good Morning Lorenzo,
If you join an NJROTC program and complete at least two years in the program, you can enlist in the military as an E2 instead of an E1 (so you go up one rank). If you do three years or more in an NJROTC program, you can go in to the Navy as an E3 (the Navy is the only service who does E3, all the other services only go as far as E2).
You do not have to be on an NJROTC team (like drill, marksmanship, etc) to use this benefit, you can just be in an NJROTC class – but no matter what, you have to be officially enrolled in the program.
I hope this helps and you can email or call me if you have more questions.
