What I did to up my verbal scores was sign up for a Kaplan virtual tutoring course! It was pretty expensive (~$600 for I think 3 or 4 sessions) and my tutor mainly focused on tips and tricks to beat the time hacks for the verbal test. It wasn't so much me reading a dictionairy over and over to...

Hello everyone! My congressional came back during summer 2019 with a positive result. AFROTC HQ decided to superscore my AFOQT and this allowed me to finish my last semester of college and participate in AFROTC. I graduated in December 2019 with my BS in Aero Engineering and did a mock...

@CyberB the waiver is through HQ.. your det commander would have to put you up for it. There is one for a 3rd test and if you fail it the 3rd time there is one to waive the whole requirement.

Hello! My family and I sent out a request for a congressional inquiry to my district representative and my two senators about a month and half ago. I was told that with elections just passing it might take a while for it to land on the right desk but I do know it was received by all three and...

Have any of you all heard about congressional inquiries with AFOQT failures for AFROTC?

Hello everyone! Does anyone have anymore ideas of how I can go about this other than the congressional inquiry? I have my packet with my personal letter, my parents letter, my nominations, and my letters from my cadre and a family friend who is a wing commander for a base on the east coast...

My Captain told me that it is before the job level so I don’t think the fact that I picked 62EXA even had an affect?

Hello Everyone! Thanks for your advice I greatly appreciate it. My meeting with my parents and Colonel has been set for next week and one of the main things I want to discuss with him is if my specialty (62EXA) is full for my fiscal year like @Pima and @Capt MJ were saying; I want to see if HQ...

Am I allowed to contact anyone else or should I remain with the congressional inquiry method?

@Pima I am FY 2020 since I was suppose to commission in December 2019. Do you think if I push my commissioning ahead it would make a difference? I understand the fact that the Air Force may not need me but I was hoping for just a chance. If there is a chance to do Army OTS I would be open but...

My apologies ma’am! Still thank you so much.

@Capt MJ Thank you for your kind words sir. My end goal is to proudly serve in the Air Force as a officer in any specialty. I will do any job given to me as long as I get to follow in my fathers foot steps! I know this is one of life’s test and I know God is testing me.. he was testing my...

@Pima I did not know I was allowed to contact HQ AFROTC personally? My dad entered in 85 and retired officially in 06. My AFSC is 62EXA for Aerospace Engineering and one of the cadets was airfield operations and the other cadet went rated to become a pilot. @Capt MJ both cadets were in the...

Hello everyone I need some serious advice! I am currently a AS 400 at Det 028 located at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. I am a college basketball player and I am also majoring in Aerospace Engineering doing fairly well with a 3.2 GPA. I graduated SFT (LEAD) during the summer of 2017...
