SECTION 9 ORDERS   9.1       Orders may be verbal or written.  They will, in some cases, be sent to the classroom in the form of notices or announcements.  The general procedure for announcing orders will be to post them on the classroom bulletin boards. 9.2       If every subordinate were to question the fairness, justice, propriety, or wisdom of orders received from any authorized source, there would be no discipline and the JROTC unit and your school would soon degenerate.  Remember, a cadet must first obey all lawful orders.  If cadets disagree with the order, register a complaint to his/her superior later after executing the order without any public display of anger. 9.3       One of the purposes of JROTC training is to develop leadership ability and the capacity to command.  To command, one must first learn to obey.                         “He who cannot follow, cannot lead” – Ben Franklin  This is something to remember, if you expect promotion.  The well-trained cadet is receptive to the wishes of his/her superiors, regardless of how informally they may be expressed.  The ideal cadet is a person who finds no task too small to be faithfully performed, is honest, dependable, and courteous. 9.4          No promotions, awards, or decorations are valid without a valid set of orders in JUMS and on file with the adjutant.
