What are the three components of the NJROTC patch?

The NJROTC patch is designed to symbolize key aspects of the program and its heritage. The correct answer includes the USS Constitution, a bald eagle, and a fouled anchor, each element representing different facets of the United States Navy and its history.

The USS Constitution, famously known as "Old Ironsides," is a symbol of the naval heritage of the United States, representing the long-standing tradition and strength of the Navy. The bald eagle is the national bird and emblem of the United States, signifying freedom and the country’s ideals. The fouled anchor is an emblem associated with naval service, symbolizing steadfastness and the connection to maritime traditions. These symbols together convey the values and commitments of NJROTC, emphasizing leadership, citizenship, and a connection to the Navy.

In contrast, the other choices mix elements that do not accurately reflect the NJROTC patch, either by including incorrect symbols or combining elements that do not have the same resonance with the Navy's values and traditions.
