JROTC Cadets are prohibited from wearing the Army uniform in the following situations:
(1) In connection with the furtherance of any political or commercial interests, or when engaged in off-duty civilian employment.
(2) When participating in public speeches, interviews, picket lines, marches, rallies, or public demonstrations, except as authorized by the Commander, USACC.
(3) When attending any meeting or event that is a function of, or is sponsored by, an extremist organization.
(4) When wearing the uniform would bring discredit upon the Army.
(5) When specifically prohibited by Army regulations.
Jones urges to her tea party members to attend the Republican Party meetings in Porter County, urging tea party members to become precinct committee persons and state delegates which clearly puts the NWIP under #1. The NWIP event is a rally that the JROTC would be participating in which falls under #2. #3 Is up to a matter of opinion but I find the signs "Got rope?" and "Our forefathers would have been shooting by now" as extremist and these signs have been seen and photographed at prior NWIP rallies so this would be reason number 3 to now allow the JROTC to attend the NWIP rally. I will leave it up for you to decide as to whether or not "wearing the uniform would bring discredit upon the Army" is another valid reason to prohibit the JROTC from participating in the NWIP rally.
