So I’m currently a 1st Lieutenant in the Army National Guard with 14+ years in, and my day to day job is a middle school and high school History teacher. My school wants to start a JROTC program and they asked if I could lead it. I said I would love to lead it but I’m not sure the rank requirements or anything involved. Does anyone know the process or have any experience with starting a JROTC program?

I would suggest that if you're competent to teach History you should continue to do so. It is a more valuable contribution that you'll make. Part of the problem in our society is that young people are not aware of (have not been taught) history. Fill that gap and you'll do society a favor. Your lessons may stir them to join the JROTC and ultimately, the military. A competent military retiree can handle the JROTC program elements.

You must be retired. You can assist them in getting it setup, contacting ROTC Command< but you can not run it.
