    Ah, I don't plan on being a pilot.

    Worried about getting kicked out of AFROTC.

    What does that mean? Do I plan to get contracted and earn a scholarship? If so, then yes. I'm considering to go on a 5-year plan to become a 700/800 cadet at my fifth year, and I've informed my instructor about it, so I suppose it's already official. My intended major is Civil Engineering and I...

    Worried about getting kicked out of AFROTC.

    The university I attend actually operates under a trimester system -- Fall, Winter, and Spring. And from what I've heard, you get selected for Field Training on winter quarter in your 200 year. And regarding my 1st conditional event, it was for the exact same reason, for failing chemistry in...

    Worried about getting kicked out of AFROTC.

    Hello, I'm currently a 100 non-scholarship cadet at my detachment, and I'm deathly worried about being kicked out of the program. My academics aren't exactly the best thing in the world, and I'm currently failing Chemistry. In fact, my grade is so low in that class that if I pass the final...

    If I don't pass my PFA, what happens? Will I get cut from the program?

    Push-ups. I am so terrible at push ups that it's completely laughable. On a good day, and if I'm lucky, I can barely perform 30 push ups in a minute. Even though I've been training and practicing for over a month, I still couldn't get the push ups down, and it's completely demoralizing. Sit-ups...

    If I don't pass my PFA, what happens? Will I get cut from the program?

    Hello! I'm a 4th class cadet of my AFROTC program in college, and I have my PFA coming up on Tuesday. The cadre and higher-up cadets have placed immense importance on this, second only to academics. My flight commander told me that if you don't get the required 75 points, you are cut from the...

    I have an academic concern/issue.

    That's a relief. But let's say my GPA drops below 2.0 in the middle of the quarter. Will I get cut from the program immediately? Because if this occurs, then I have an ample amount of time to raise that GPA before the quarter ends. I really, really, hope that's the way it works. And when it...

    I have an academic concern/issue.

    Good morning/afternoon/evening, depending on whenever you're reading this. For my first year in college, I decided to embark a challenge and enroll in AFROTC. And honestly, I absolutely love it. Apart from the "getting up at 3 AM to shave for inspection" part, I love how the program is beginning...

    Is it too late for me to join AFROTC?

    F15DOC, I actually am pursing an engineering career at UW. Civil Engineering, more specifically. So I can take the classes mentioned, and then begin the 3-year scholarship application when it's available? Is the 3-year program more demanding and difficult than the 4-year one? By the looks of...

    Is it too late for me to join AFROTC?

    Ah, understood. Regarding athleticism, should I begin to exercise in the mornings to prepare for AFROTC? I was a runner and thrower in Track & Field during my sophomore year of high school, but since then, I've been out of shape.

    Is it too late for me to join AFROTC?

    By "walking on", how does that exactly work? Is it similar to walking on a sports team in college, where they have to test your athletic ability prior to joining? Or you sign your name on a clipboard and that's it? And is there a specific deadline to walk on?

    Is it too late for me to join AFROTC?

    Hello! I'm new here, so I hope I can make my first thread memorable and helpful. I recently graduated high school a month ago, and I'm counting down my days until I officially stay to dorm at the University of Washington. Joining the AFROTC program has been on my mind, but I never took action to...
