The J.R.O.T.C. (Junior Reserved Officer Training Corps) classes teach you about the military, such as marching, drilling (armed and unarmed), military life, followership skills, leadership skills, wars, etc. Most of the things being taught really depends on the branch of military it is in. There is a Naval jrotc, Army jrotc, Air force jrotc, may be more, but there is no Marine. You learn about navigation skills, survival skills, first aid skills, etc. The high school classes are just like middle school classes, but as always, they are a grade up. Also, certain high school classes are required to be taken in order to graduate. The grading system is also different: A, B, C, F. This also applies to the J.R.O.T.C. class. But anyway, J.R.O.T.C. is a very good program to be in, and also very fun! It is an elective and the grade you get in it is part of your GPA. But the main difference would be community service (helping out at fairs, events, football games, etc.), and field trips to military bases. Hope this helps!

Yes. JROTC is in high school, ROTC is in college. Technically, you do not have to take JROTC at all to take ROTC. Generally, people who take ROTC in college are joining the military afterwards. The same in not necessarily true for JROTC.
There were 3229 various JROTC units as of June 2006 (1555 Army JROTC, 794 Air Force JROTC, 619 Navy JROTC, 260 Marine Corps JROTC, 1 Coast Guard JROTC). Additionally, there are cadet programmes outside of JROTC (such as the Young Marines, Civil Air Patrol, Explorer Scouts) which may or may not be school based.
You can join JROTC.
The MAST Academy in Key Biscayne, Florida, is the only school in the entire United States which hosts a Coast Guard JROTC programme.
JROTC is held at High schools and depending the scheduling for the school it will most likely be every day.
Reading senior High School located in Reading PA has the largest JROTC in the nation with over 400 cadets.
