    AFROTC POC Cadet with Tech EA, changing to Non-TechMajor...Implications?

    Also putting this separate, he needs to ask cadre for help, this should have been his first stop for information. They are there to direct him and teach him, don't be afraid. Worst case they say hey sorry if you do that there are these issues. Lastly, your degree has very little change on pilot...

    AFROTC POC Cadet with Tech EA, changing to Non-TechMajor...Implications?

    Every school has their own tech majors that AF codes as tech in some form usually. For instance some aviation degrees are tech or non tech, mine was stamped with a generic AF 40TY code or something similar. Which was aero science. Don't forget you can cross-town. There are literally management...

    AFROTC POC Cadet with Tech EA, changing to Non-TechMajor...Implications?

    It's usually quite easy to transfer to another tech degree, and there are some easy "tech" degrees out there. Sometimes they will even allow the swap with scholarships to non tech. Honestly he/she should be fine especially just to commission. If he's not on scholarship I would not worry, if he...

    AFROTC Pilot Slot Odds

    There are more OTS here now than normal. Class sizes went from 19-20ish to nearly 30. Which is where the surplus was put. It seems the wait times are the same, at least for now. 30ish is the maximum they can hold right now. They are still working to find more ways to increase production but it's...

    AFROTC Pilot Slot Odds

    Pima if you place low or zero on other jobs you DO risk not getting picked up. You should place how you actually view the jobs, if you put high let's say on both pilot and rpa. If the board meets and pilot is looked at first (it was in the past) then you get it or don't. They don't look at your...

    AFROTC Pilot Slot Odds

    Putting high in everything can change things but likely will not, it goes by how the board is held and in which order they are selected. Not your stats. Plenty put high all and still get pilot.

    AFROTC Pilot Slot Odds

    Stats are good, rankings are the smallest portion, at least FT. And your middle at least. Get some flight hours if you can.

    AFROTC FT/DoDMERB/Inquiries

    First you need to google your ailment with air force and you will most likely find a direct link to the regulations regarding your specific problem. 99% chance you are not the only person who has experienced it. It will tell you if it is waiverable, which is ultimately the goal -if required-. FT...

    AFROTC PFA Questions

    It's only when you are on scholarship, meaning during it. Also your det decides when to test during the time frame, ask them. Get in shape. It's frowned upon to fail any time.

    AFROTC - Slots

    Chances are pretty much the same if you perform well. You are not gureneteed a job no matter what comissioning source you use.

    TBAS and AFOQT retake

    Evers like I said you don't know your tbas score so what's the point unless you think you did that terrible. The AFOQT is measurable and easily improved. You can update flight hours any time up to the board. Best idea if you can afford it is hit tier 2 which should be 6 hours and improve your...

    TBAS and AFOQT retake

    People are getting slots with no time and PCSMs lower than 40s I'd say that's reaching pretty far to get people in.

    TBAS and AFOQT retake

    There is really no point in doing just the tbas, it's like asking if you should retake a test before you know your true score. If you have your gpa and rss as well as ft scores you can do the math and sort of figure it out. Honestly right now pilot slots are plentiful, but I'd retake the AFOQT...

    How long between commissioning and UPT?

    Most are going on casual when they do EAD some longer than others. Taking IFT out of the discussion I'd expect 4-6 months of waiting after EAD. To say you will start a month or even two after EADing is a dream and luck if it does happen to ROTC LTs. I'd expect not to start UPT for about a year...

    Which Route to Air Force Pilot Spot..

    Honestly you need to decide which life you want. All three are vastly different, though ANG and reserves are closer than AD. If you want to fly for an airline as your primary job than reserves is probably the way to go. If you want to be in the full military than AD. ANG is an interview process...

    AFROTC Pilot Slot 2017 - Am I competitive?

    Going to give you my opinion... First imo, your RSS and FT rank do NOT make up for points lost on the AFOQT and PCSM, not even close. Why? Because FT points are minimal and your RSS you have no idea what your RSS rank actually is, so I would strongly advise you to not "count" those points...

    AFROTC Scholarship and GI Bill

    You should be able to use it for bah, though it will still use months just as if it was paying for the school as well.
