Pima, non-rated cadets have not received AFSC's yet. They have pushed it back to January 20. Is this significant/indicative of anything to come?

I heard that afrotc may have a reduction in force for FY 2020 cadets. Apparently they have too many cadets for that commissioning year. Does anyone know if this is true?

Anyone know when non-rated AFSC's will drop? I heard that it may be October 15th from my cadre.

I'm a rising AS 400 (on a 4.5 year academic track) in Air Force ROTC and was wondering if anyone knew when I will have to do a pre-commissioning physical, and what exactly it entails. Is it anything like the DODMERB physical? Thanks.

I'm a VTCC student that does recruiting. From what I've heard, they plan on having scholarships for all incoming freshmen.

Wow! Thanks for all the great information. I have a lot to think about... and I look forward to talking to my APAS about this topic. It also sounds like there are a bunch of other friendly Russian speaking countries I can go to (Kyrgyzstan, Estonia, etc). Thanks again!

Thanks for the info Capt MJ, I'll make sure to ask my chain. I will be going to Latvia this summer for 8 weeks through Project GO, but actually going to Russia would be really cool. I just want to make sure there wouldn't be any major issues. Thanks for the info!

Are there any countries I cant travel to as a cadet? Or any that would give me serious clearance issues? I'm not talking about countries like North Korea or Iran either... I'm wondering about countries like Russia, China, countries in Central Asia, and Eastern Europe. I'm asking because I'm a...

I'm in the VTCC. About 50 percent are in-state.

Okay thanks for the information everyone, I wasn't planning on changing my AFSC preferences based on the wait time... I was just curious. Thanks again!

I have a quick question about the time people have to wait to EAD. What's the normal amount of time that somebody typically has to wait to actually start their job? I'm hoping to go intel, and I heard that intel folks can wait up to a year. Is that true? Whats's the time frame like for other...

For me the problem isn't not being able to fit in my AFROTC classes, but finding a sister school to VT. I met with my APAS about this and he said that I could easily study abroad first semester of my fifth year. So it really just comes down to finding a program that could be paid for by my...

Yeah I think finding a sister school is my biggest problem. We have one in Latvia, but I've only heard of kids doing the summer Project GO session there. I've talked to some people in the Russian department, and they seem to be more in favor of just doing Project GO in the summer. As of now...

Thanks for the resources. I go to VT so I will definitely check out our study abroad department office here.

I have and they say its doable. My only concern is finding a program that's a sister school with my university.

Does anyone know the process for studying abroad. If I were to study abroad for a semester, would my AFROTC scholarship cover my tuition? I'm a Russian major and I'm looking at a program in Kazakhstan. I think spending an entire semester (not just 8 weeks for project GO) abroad would be very...

This is from my experience/knowledge: 1. I believe that they are awarded nationally. However commanders ranking does play a role. 2. The cadre should do all the work for submitting the scholarship application (At least mine did). 3. I believe the GPA is whatever cumulative GPA your son...

How much does field training matter for non rated AFSC selection? I didn't do well at field training and I wanted to know if I still had hopes of getting an intel slot. Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

Congressmen Mike Rogers said that he expects Space Force language to be in the 2020 NDAA. So this may actually become a possibility sooner than most people think. Especially now that the Air Force cant publicly go against what President Trump has said. If it does materialize, do you think...

On a more serious note though, do you think that Air Force cadets need to worry about being siphoned off into this new branch?
