    AFOQT scores?

    Hi, I took the afoqt a few months ago since I'm in AFROTC. However, I might drop ROTC and try to go to OTS later, after I've graduated college. Would I have to take the afoqt again, or would they use the scores I've already received? Thank you.

    Switching Branches

    Hi, I'm a current AFROTC cadet who is non-contract. I failed DODMERB my first time around, but was told I can retake it this summer and if I pass, I will receive an AFROTC scholarship. I haven't had any medical issues since last time and I'm in good health, so I see no reason why I shouldn't...

    Dual Citizenship

    Hi everybody, I'm a current AFROTC cadet. I was born in Canada and hold dual US-Canadian citizenship. I was also born as an American citizen because my parents are both Americans, so I am not a naturalized citizen. My question is: am I going to have to give up my Canadian citizenship when I...

    Project Go

    Hello all, I received a 4-year AFROTC scholarship during my senior year of high school (which I just finished) but unfortunately was denied a medical waiver because I'm not >2 years in remission for a very minor jaw problem (which I'm pretty sure is a rule that was made up on the spot, but I...

    When does ROTC contact me?

    Update: I actually just got a letter from Detachment 910 in the mail today, explaining a lot.

    When does ROTC contact me?

    Thanks for the advice everyone! Pima, you seem to know all when it comes to ROTC/ SA's.:) Now that I know it's typical for them not to contact until orientation I will definitely wait to reach out to my unit. I'll just keep eating kale, taking iron, working out, and hoping they approve my...

    When does ROTC contact me?

    I'm still in high school,. Should I just find my detachment's contact info online? And I actually already spoke with the waiver authority who said they would review my file once I submitted a "good" blood test. I'm a male, and my hemoglobin was 12. So not severe by any means, but definitely...

    When does ROTC contact me?

    Hi I'm a high school senior who's about to attend the University of Washington on a 4-year AFROTC scholarship. I'm still waiting on a medical waiver for anemia and JRA, but I was told by the Air Force that I will probably get the waiver, assuming I submit a blood test that shows healthy...

    Anemia?

    USAFA83GradWife- thank you very much for your reply. I basically just had my doctor write a note saying that "Mateob has mild anemia which is currently being treated with iron supplementation and diet high in iron rich foods." However, it doesn't mention much about why I have the anemia. Do you...

    Anemia?

    Hi everyone... Well, you can probably guess from the thread title what my issue is now. I was originally DQ'd for JRA in my jaw, but the Air Force sent me to do a rheumatoid factor and ANA test (which were both negative). I'm ASSUMING (but not sure) that my negative results for those tests...

    One Year Waiver Process Advice

    Just wanted to add that I have a condition which a bunch of people told me was probably not waiverable (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) and I received a waiver this week. So don't get discouraged!!

    One Year Waiver Process Advice

    I would SERIOUSLY recommend calling DoDMERB ad asking for the AROTC waiver authority phone number, then calling it. I waited a long time for my waiver, then decided enough was enough, called the Air Force, and got my waiver a week later.

    What does this update mean?

    Thank you for your reply. I assumed it was the Air Force requesting more information, however the thing that confused me was that it didn't have the remedial code "Waiver authority requests more info." Which made me think it was DoDMERB, not AFROTC. I guess not everyone gets that code. Thank you!
