We haven't had near the experience as many who post on this forum. The one thing we learned when our ds was going through the process last year, like falconfamily said, is how important it is to communicate who you are. Be sure you know your story. Not just what you have done but why you...

It seems with several AFROTC scholarship recipients recently declining them to attend AFA, there should be a few more available as the final board meets. Not positive but sounds logical. Perhaps someone else can confirm if that's how it works or not.

BCT photos Changing the subject a bit. Found some pictures of past classes going through BCT on the Academy website. Helped us to actually see what was being described in the material our DS has been receiving. Here's the link: www.usafa.edu/cadetFocus/cadetPhotos/index.cfm. If link doesn't...

Congrats on the Type 1! Haven't seen many of those on the forum. Know you're very proud and what a great plan B!

No more stalking DS got the MOC call last Saturday and, like others, portal indicated appt offered Wednesday. Based on what we were reading here we thought the BFE may come today and it did! Thanks so much to everyone for your encouragement, advice and comaraderie. This forum has helped prepare...

cpkousky Very interested in your experiences at WVU. Sent you an IM about it.

Always appreciate your substantive comments Pima. Having read similar comments from you in the past, DS emailed both detachments a few days ago asking for percentages. Just heard back from WVU this morning and will continue to follow-up with ERAU. As far as visits, took DS to WVU this past...

DS has received an AFROTC scholarship and has narrowed his college choices to ERAU and WVU. Just seeking information about the detachment at WVU from current cadets, former cadets or parents of cadets. His likely major will be Aerospace Engineering.

Hello cpkousky. Congrats on the AFROTC scholarship last year! My DS has been offered one as well and is looking seriously at WVU. His goal is to become a pilot and wants to go where he can get a good education and perform well at the detachment. Can you tell me a little about your experience at...

Thank you Pima. Through this site and the afrotc website, I have become quite familiar with the scholarships available. This was just the first time I saw any mention of the abdominal circumference as part of the pfa. As always I appreciate your input.

After a little research I answered my own question. I guess what I was really interested in is how that factors into the ROTC application. I thought they only scored the 3 other activities.

I am a little new to the ROTC discussion. I am familiar with the situps, pushups and 1.5 mile run but what is the abdominal circumference?

DS is finishing his Junior year - HS. We have already learned much from the forum, and look forward to gleaning more from those who have been where we are. Pursuing an appt to the AFA has been an incredible motivator for our son and I'm excited to see his future continue to unfold. And I...
