Where is the JROTC bar or "J-bar" worn on the Service khaki uniform?

The JROTC bar, often referred to as the "J-bar," is worn centered on the left collar of the Service khaki uniform. This placement is symbolic and signifies the cadet's affiliation with the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, indicating their involvement and commitment to the program.

Wearing the J-bar on the left collar also aligns with uniform standards and helps ensure a consistent appearance among cadets. This position allows for easy visibility and is a traditional aspect of the uniform, which serves to reinforce pride and identity within the JROTC community.

Other options place the J-bar in locations that do not conform to the established guidelines for uniform wear and do not serve the purpose of proper identification as intended by the JROTC program. For instance, placing it on the right collar or on the left sleeve would diminish its visibility and significance as an identifying emblem. Additionally, positioning it on the left breast pocket is not the standard location for this particular insignia, as there are specific assignments for different components of the uniform.
