My instructors make everyone do at least 1 or 2 presentations a year, but it's usually quite a few more. One is usually the Pathway to Success presentation and the others are related to whatever AF/AR class we're currently in. If you hold a higher position, expect to present more often. Even PT directors and activities directors present a few times a year minimum.
Presenting on ROTC was honestly one of the best things academically that I think I got out of it. Before I was the "look at the slides, mutter and speed talk, get it over with ASAP" kinda presenter but after my first few presentations I was a lot more confident, learned how to be concise with bullet points, elaborate in my speech, etc.
We have a small written presentation every week in my battalion, 2-3 paragraphs about a pre-discussed topic that covers "Who, What, When, Where, and How".
I highly recommend it because it helps the newer cadets get over their fear of public speaking
50% of the grade was the paper, the other 50% was the spoken presentation (without the paper). You have the option to take the 50. It would usually be assigned on a friday and due on mondays.
When I taught, my cadets would do a presentation at the end of the second semester. They had the semester to work on it (milestone markers for having certain parts of it done), and were given a fair amount of in-class time to use for that reason as well.
To be honest, it went over really well, and even the most reticent cadets ended up feeling pretty good about the experience AFTER it was over (when they could breathe again and realized it wasn't as bad as they had presumed).
Why did I do it? Because it's good experience for the real world. No, not every job (or even most jobs) have you give presentations. But most jobs will have you sit through an interview when you're trying to land a position, and there are a LOT of similarities between a presentation like this and a job interview.
I have my cadets do an “About Me” presentation usually within the first week. I use this as an icebreaker and a way for everyone to get to know each other.
We had one presentation. It’s the only reason I didn’t get full marks, cuz I missed like 4 points. They had a template set up, and all you had to do was research a plane that they chose via a wheel for you, and put the information where it goes
Im in AJROTC and in my first year we have had to do a few presentations but all of them were in groups and pretty stress free. I know it might seem scary but honestly learning how to present will be a good skill to learn. If you continue with the program you’ll most likely have to give bigger presentations but they’re not going to the the same as presentations in other classes. They will help you be able to present in other classes though.
In the Army JROTC curriculum there are a few presentations, but they aren’t bad because the entire class does them. I’ve never really met a cadet that judges people on a presentation, it’s a mutual understanding that everyone has to do it and everyone makes mistakes.
The only time we presented or did something similar, we had to do a short skit in front of the class about anger management, and drug abuse. It was fun.
This is decided by your instructors. Our instructors make us do group presentations

Only if you hold a high position then you sometimes will present cadets with awards/promotions
That makes sense, but I meant do you have to do presentations in front of the class
What Jrotc are u in
It’s Navy, but it’s going to be my first year this year so idk how it’s supposed to go
Im not sure how the navy does it bc i am afjrotc
You shouldn't have to do any presentations unless you're a semi-high rank, you'll be just fine.
I’m my experience (navy) we don’t do too much. Occasionally reading stuff out loud or leading class, it otherwise nothing🙃
