The Senior Marine Instructor (SMI) manages the entire program.

Although they spend much of their time in the classroom, enrollment activities are a fundamental part of the job. This involves: briefings to school administrators, faculty, and community organizations to explain the program and elicit support, counseling of cadets and other students, and briefings to students from supporting junior high schools.

The SMI must be involved in: community relations, liaison with other Marine Corps and civilian agencies, unit supply or administrative functions, career and performance counseling, and an extensive extracurricular program, such as a military ball, co-curricular competition, Cadet newspaper, drill team, color guard, parades, flag raising, retreat ceremonies, presentation of

awards, fund raising activities for the unit or charitable institutions.

As classroom teachers, they will typically be required to teach five out of six/seven periods of a traditional school day. The teaching load may be less.

They wear their Marine Corps Uniforms while performing MCJROTC duties.

The job of the SMI is not as structured as most Marine Corps jobs. Although the Marine Corps provides some guidance for managing the program, self-direction, initiative, and self-reliance are essential traits of the SMI. Only Officers

who desire this flexibility in their work should apply.

We value diversity among our staff as well and are eager to field applications from candidates who represent diverse racial, cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
