Hailley GrahamMaroon Echoes Reporter The Mount Pleasant FFA chapter received their first class set of competition jackets this week. The jackets are a requirement to compete in competitions, ceremonies, and officially sanctioned events.
While our chapter currently only owns a class set, members have the option of choosing to buy their own jackets for a fee. Member jackets can be personalized with their name embroidered on it and will be a memento of their time in FFA . FFA Advisor, Matt Jones says that the National FFA rules state how the jackets have to be worn at competitions. They have to be kept clean, students have to be professional while in their jackets, they can only be worn when it is appropriate, no more than 3 medals can be worn on the jacket at one time, and members cannot be intoxicated in their “uniform”. “Be where you meant to be and do what your meant to do.” Says Jones when asked about the rules. These jackets are also for when they go to The FFA National Conference. FFA competitions are separated into two categories. Leadership development events are known as LDEs, and they cover job interviews, prepared for public speaking, agriculture issues, forum parliamentary procedure, and many more. Career Development Events are known as CDEs cover agronomy agricultural sales, forestry, and many more professional exploration subjects. These competitions can win student scholarships. “This is a great way for a student to prepare for their future. Giving them insight into their future job choices” says Jones.
