K.Sarah, You and I have almost identical situations regarding GPA. I have a 2.17 and may be able to claim a semester or two off of my transcript for "academic bankruptcy." I went to college with no real drive to complete my coursework and ended up dropping out. Now that I've decided to pursue...

Thanks for the encouraging words! It's good to see people pushing you.

I'm trying to max scores on the AFROTC PFA and I've been using an app on my phone called '100 Pushups'. I highly suggest using it. I know developing a pushup routine isn't all that hard but there is something satisfying about seeing your results calculated and having some sort of motivation...

Well I took my mock pushup/sit up one minute drill and I'm impressed by my jump in under a month. I made sure to keep perfect form on each and I managed 62 pushups and 47 sit ups. That's up from 42 pushups and 35 sit ups. The sit ups get exponentially harder after 40 so I see why the gap from...

Yeah I haven't done sit ups in well over 4 years. I'm in decent shape and have always responded well to PT. I'm redoing my test tonight to give a real measure of the progress I have made. I've been practicing my form for pushups and going to a full 90 degree down position. Sit ups look much...

Will do, I've got any app for my pushups/situps training and I go to the public track near my house and do my running. I'm shooting for 100 on the PFA. I can run a mile in 6:32 right now but before the test I want to be at 5:30. When I started I was running it in 7:54 so I've seen very good...

Thanks man. I hope my dedication pays off. Once August rolls around I'll update the thread

Reaper has been great with helping answer my questions too and some of the info is based off of his posts in my thread. I've heard from him and multiple sources that even though flying hours are a bigger portion of the PCSM score, most people that go in have little or none. In my...

It seems like I need to be more focused on getting an EA for what could be as soon as next summer. I'll just focus on my grades and participate/lead anytime I get the chance and let my dedication to it hopefully prove myself to the cadre. I'm taking a discovery flight today and may begin logging...

That actually makes me feel somewhat better about my GPA. Not saying that I am settling with what I have, but it is good to see it is the least emphasized portion. That doesn't mean I'm going to slack up on it or anything. If you don't mind, what was your CGPA when you were selected for...

I see. So when it comes to the actual committee to get a pilot slots what are the credentials they look at? PCSM, GPA, ACT/SAT, Order of merit in ROTC or FT? I'm trying to determine my real chances and I want to focus on improving what will directly it. I've already looked into starting flight...

Thanks for clearing that up Pima. I went to the doc about my eyes last week and I have a contact prescription for -4.75. From what I can gather online, that is roughly 20/400. I'll wait for them to make it an issue before I try to get anything done about my vision. I was wondering how the...

Thanks again you two, I'll check that site out.

Thanks for the awesome responses! I really appreciate you two taking the time to help me. That also cleared up some questions on how going in with a group of 18-19 year olds would affect me overall. I didn't think about it possibly giving me an advantage by being someone to look up to but...

Hey guys, I've been researching to find a great source for info and this site seems to be the best in terms of speaking to real people about how different ROTC programs work, specifically the AFROTC. This is my first post. I've been dreaming of becoming a pilot since I was young but my...
