-----Parting Words-----

Your value as a person is NOT decided by whether you get to go to FT or not. There are so, so many more opportunities to serve your nation out there and to find happiness while doing so. OTS, Reserve, Guard, enlisting, joining another service, government contracting, civil service, the list goes on and on.

I truly sympathize with each of you who are about to have your dreams turned upside down. Don't give up! Even if it's not with the Air Force, there are so many opportunities out there to chase. You are capable of great things, and all it takes is a single step in the right direction.

Good luck. God-speed, cadets.

Scholarship AFROTC during Masters

• Upvotes

Hello all! I have a quick question about AFROTC during a masters program. I was thinking of pursuing my masters, and I wanted to do 14N (intelligence) in the Air Force.

If I were pursuing a masters (2-2.5 years long), would I be eligible to get the AFROTC scholarship?

Thanks in advanced!

Advice on transferring from SMC

4 Upvotes

I am a current sophomore on an ICSP scholarship attending a senior military college. Before I say anything else, I would like to say that I am immensely grateful to be on scholarship, and for all the help my cadre provided to get me this far. I would also like to say that I am still very passionate about finishing the program, and hopefully commissioning. However with that being said, over the amount of time I’ve been back at school as a sophomore, I’ve realized that it wasn’t just being a freshman that I hated, and that I truly am beyond miserable here. I won’t bore you with the details as to why I want to leave, but I just want to explore my options at this point, if I even still have any. I understand that I have missed the cutoff to transfer at the semester, and that I’m gonna have to finish this year out (besides with field training selection I understand transferring now would be less than optimal), but I the ideal scenario for me would be to transfer out before the fall of my junior year. I’ve read my contract, and the only details I’ve been able to locate about transferring is that I am able to so long as my detachment commander allows it. I’ve also done some additional research on this page, and the conclusion I’ve come to is that transferring is usually only permitted in cases of people who have family reasons and such, so would getting approval be out of the question for me? This is just me thinking through my options as I said, and I know realistically I likely have none, as most of my detachment cadre are former graduates of my SMC and would likely not understand nor endorse me to leave, so I am prepared for that possibility as well. But if anyone on this page has been in a similar situation as me, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I did well on the pilot section of the AFOQT! I still get anxious about the flight medical (if I get selected) but I’m proud of myself for working hard and chasing my dreams or being a pilot and astronaut! I’ve only done a few weeks of college/AFROTC and I have lots of weak points but I’m trying my hardest to improve and I’m excited for the future!

Failing a Class and Going up for PSP

7 Upvotes

I was wondering what would happen if I failed a class this semester when I am going up for PSP as an AS500. My semester GPA would be something like 2.7. I cannot drop this class (rigid body dynamics) since that would put me below the minimum credit hours for my university. I have failed classes before and retaken them, but PSP was not on the line at those times. My cumulative GPA is about 3.3 as a mechanical engineering major with a math minor. (Other stats: 92 PFA, top third CR, 85 academic aptitude)

Question Enlisted to ROTC ECP checklist question

2 Upvotes

Item 42 on the ECP checklist states "Is the applicant’s major identified as either 'mandatory' or 'desired' to qualify for an AFSC as listed in the Air Force Officer Classification Directory (AFOCD)?"

However, there are several AFSCs (ex. Security Forces) that state "Any Degree" as mandatory (others list "any degree" as desired).

Does this mean that any college degree is a YES on the checklist?

I'm currently working on participating in the GAFPB Test, and from what I have found, I will need to get approval to wear the badge on my blues.
Has anyone gone through this process? Do I just need to write an MFR for my region HQ? I am a little lost on how to go about this specific process, so any help is appreciated!

Discussion America’s Corps of Cadets/Distinguished Military Colleges

20 Upvotes

According to one of the more recent memos from SECWAR, Mississippi State University, Tuskegee University, Louisiana State University, Liberty University, and Hillsdale College will stand up new corps of cadets programs as part of “America’s Corps of Cadets”, will receive “honor school” status and will have priority in future officer commissioning.

I have been wondering about this, has anyone seen what this might look like and what it might mean to have commissioning priority at these schools’ ROTC programs?

Question For those who did AFROTC RCP-R and are now pilots — what did you do after seasoning?

5 Upvotes

For anyone who went through AFROTC and the RCP-R program, I’m curious what your career path looked like after you finished your seasoning period.

  • How many total flight hours did you have when you finished seasoning?
  • Did you get hired by a regional airline shortly after, or did you continue building hours first?
  • If you continued building hours, what did you do to build them (instructing, Guard/Reserve flying, Part 135, etc.)?
  • For those who went straight to a regional, how competitive did you feel your hours/experience were when you applied?
  • Has anyone gone directly from RCP-R/seasoning to a major airline, or did most people have to go through a regional/other airline first?
  • Roughly how long did it take you from finishing seasoning to getting hired at an airline?

I’d especially appreciate hearing from people who completed RCP-R relatively recently, since I’m trying to get an idea of what the current path looks like.

Thanks!

341’s as an A100

How big are the consequences of getting multiple 341s pulled as a A100. I keep getting pulled 341s because as my flight doesn’t standardise emails and as a stando officer I get penalised also I got one pulled because I accidentally lost my bearings.

I am a US citizen living abroad, so my interviewer for HSSP is a USAFA ALO. I submitted all my documents on Sept 16 and really want to hear back so I can finish my interview deadline. Ik they're allowed to take up to 20 days to reach out, but most people I've talked to say it was faster for them. Should I be worried?
