Recognition of the military chain of command is long established in the Navy. The chain extends from the President of the United States of America to the most junior seaman recruit.

Each individual must understand that this system is not only mandated by regulations, but is a form of naval courtesy. Individuals are expected to respect and be prompt in orders from seniors, and also be fair and compassionate toward juniors whike still exacting obedience from them.

The Navy's NJROTC Program is organized like a pyramid, with one person on the top and many people (cadet seaman recruits) on the bottom.
