I know AFROTC pilot slots should be released soon. Has anybody heard any word on when? I have been told that Feb 20th will be the very latest. The wait is killing me........

My son was told they will hear next Wednesday the 13th, so I am not sure that is true for all detachments. Good luck!
FWIW - I realize this is a ROTC related discussion, but because it involves EEs and AF critical manning needs, I had my son ask his academic advisor at USAFA if this will affect his chances of a UPT slot. Her answer was no, he had the same "chances" of being selected as any other cadet not majoring in EE. Maybe it is different for USAFA grads....although that would be hard to believe.If I also recall correctly although EE's are considered critical manning, there were some that got rated. I believe it was only 5% of all EE rated applicants, but 5% is better than 0%.
Agreed. I remember reading those posts and at that time suggested to my son that he might want to investigate further before declaring EE as his major. He checked before declaring then and again recently. Still, supposedly he is on an equal footing with other USAFA cadets. But, as we well know....everything is subject to change in the AF and he insists that he would be willing/happy to pursue other AFSCs related to EE.....if necessary.Agagles,
Last year on this site and another site, the boards were littered with EE's not getting rated slots. I think I read only 1 EE that got it. Even at VT which is an engineering school the EE's didn't get them. So, it probably is AFROTC only.
If they release on the 13th for one det., all dets will hear at the same time.
The release is AFROTCHQ, it is not det by det.
Basically, it is a list of every single cadet select nationwide, just like SFT or promotion boards for O4s.
