Single Point of Failure If you have only one person who is proficient in JUMS in your school program, then that person is a single point of failure. If that person suddenly has to take an extended leave or something unfortunate happens to them, your unit would not be able to complete the management tasks required in JUMS due to lack of knowledge and practice. If all JROTC instructors maintain proficiency in JUMS, our system will continue to function at some level of proficiency without the original resource. Our JUMS training is building redundancy into JROTC staff and eliminating the potential for a single point of failure.

What is the purpose of JUMS? The JROTC Unit Management System or JUMS is a database management program utilized by HQ, USACC, JROTC and 4000+ JROTC Instructors nationwide, and overseas to manage, document, and track JROTC program requirements, submit annual program reports, and manage 300,000+ JROTC Cadets, records, awards, fitness, promotions, uniforms, instructional materials, school, and community co-curricular event participation. JROTC Instructors are responsible for managing and maintaining unit/Cadet information in JUMS.

Classroom Expectations Hands on learning environment People learn best when they are actively engaged in their own learning. As Confucius said nearly 2,500 years ago, “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” Stay with the instructor & class Questions on current topic – no wandering off topic No “whining” about JUMS – Stay constructive & focused…I didn’t bring any cheese
