NavySync is an agenda/planner app designed to streamline an NJROTC unit and its activities. NavySync connects NSIs, cadets, and parents in one place. Firstly, NavySync contains a calendar which can be updated with unit activities, team events, and volunteer opportunities, for the entire unit, and specific to individual cadets. Within the “teams” tab, cadets can view announcements and upcoming events, with all details. This allows parents to view what their students are doing within NJROTC as well. Cadets can use this app to keep track of their future events, keeping them organized and punctual. NavySync contains study material and information for advancements, general NJROTC information, AMI preparation, and more. Additional features such as a ribbon rack builder and videos to learn how to shine shoes or perform drill movements make the complexities of NJROTC more manageable for cadets. In conclusion, with the implementation of this app, the many questions about “what’s going on” or “how should I” will have one answer. Check NavySync.”
