No....junior ROTC in high schools did not exist during WWII.

George, I was in JROTC in Tampa, Fl. Spring, 1943 - Summer 1946, and it
existed
well before then. We lost our Springfield rifles and had the wooden
replicas. These
were later replaced with the M1 Garand. I then went to Gordon Military
College in
Barnesville Ga. who also had JROTC during the entire WWII period. Now the
Air Force ROTC didn't start until my junior year at FSU, but I was not
eligible as I didn't have the
first two years. Of course after I had graduated and enlisted, they were
commissioning
graduates who only had the senior year!!!!!!!
