Izingane zibuka isikrini esisebenzisanayo esibonisa isikhangiso sokuqashwa kwezempi esikoleni se-Arizona esikoleni.
Kube nokuthuthuka okuphawulekayo ngenyanga eyedlule mayelana nokuzimisela kwabezindaba ukubika nokuphawula ngenqubo ethusayo yezempi ezikoleni eziphakeme zaseMelika. Isikhathi esingaphezu kwesizukulwane, abezindaba bezinkampani babeke ukubambezeleka okubonakalayo ekubikeni ngokujulile ngezinhlelo zokuqashwa ezikhohlisayo, ezenzelwe isikole.
I-Associated Press, emva kweminyaka edlulile, ekugcineni yabika ngohlu lwezihlelo ze-JROTC esikoleni esiphakeme i-NRA Foundation izimali ezweni lonke. Nakuba lolu lwazi luye lwatholakala emphakathini ngesizukulwane, alukaze lwabikwa yizindaba ezithintekayo. Ifomu le-IRS le-990 lisekelwe ngokucacile i-NRA ne-JROTC izinhlelo zokudubula ezikoleni eziphakeme ezweni lonke.
Kuyihlazo izinhlangano ezifanayo zezindaba zisenqaba ukubika ngendima yohlelo lweCivilian Marksmanship Programme (CMP) ekuphatheni amabanga wokudubula ezikoleni eziphakeme nezinhlelo zokumaka. I-CMP ingumthengisi wezinhlamvu ezincane nezinhlamvu eziqhutshwa ngasese ezidayisa izimpahla ezingaphezu kwezingu- $ 220 million. Sisalinde ama-behemoths abezindaba ukuthi abike nge-990MP ye-CMP.
Ngokuthuthukiswa okufanayo okumangalisa, i-Economist Magazine ibike ngezindawo zokudubula esikoleni esiphakeme ezihambisana nezinhlelo zempi ze-JROTC ezisebenza ezinkulungwaneni zezikole eziphakeme. Incwadi yaseBrithani, i-flagship ye-oda elinobuciko, ibuza ukuthi, "Ingabe ibutho kufanele linikeze isosha esikoleni esiphakeme?" Lokhu kuyintuthuko engacabangeki, efana nokuphakama kokuhambela kukaMongameli ePyongyang noma ukuvulwa kwempi yokuhweba ebusuku .
Ekuthuthukiseni okwesithathu, i-USA Today ibike ngoSkoolLive, uhlelo oluxhaswe ngamasosha olwenzelwe ukubeka izikhungo ze-6 ezihlangene ezikoleni eziphakeme zaseMelika. Lesi sihloko esibucayi sikhulume ukuphikisana nomkhuba wezempi wokuvimbela imithetho yezwe kanye neyomthetho ngenkathi kukhuthaza izingane ukuba zilayishe ulwazi olubucayi, ulwazi lomuntu siqu. I-SkoolLive ithathe iwebhusayithi yayo ngaphandle kwe-intanethi.
Sithemba ukubona ukubika maduzane ku-CMP kanye neBridi ye-Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, (ASVAB), uhlelo lokuvivinya impi lokukhwabanisa ezikoleni ze-12,000. Yiqiniso, kunezinye izindlela eziningana ezidabukisayo ezenziwa yi-US Military Entrance Processing Command ezikoleni eziphakeme zezwe lethu futhi ezifanelwe ukuphuma ngaphandle.
