pilot slot

Posting this in the USAFA forum but it goes for AFROTC as well: Just out of curiosity, anyone who went through USAFA or AFROTC with the goal of flying but did not recieve a pilot slot, what is it like? Are you still satisfied with your posistion in the air force? Is there anything you would...

Hello, Thank you for giving me your time to reading my forum and I really need an advice on which branch to pick. I am currently a freshmen in college and was planning to do AFROTC this semester but our school detachment cut some chunk of people due to high volume of applicants. I am...

I am a rising senior studying Aerospace Engineering (grad May 2022), and in a 5 year program where I will graduate with a master's in Aerospace Engineering in May 2023. I am not in ROTC so I will have to either do OTS or OCS. I also have a private pilot's license and around 200 hours. I have had...

Hello! I'm trying to decide between USAFA and USNA (a good problem to have, but an incredibly difficult decision) and wanted to get some experienced input on how close to the action I would be as a pilot in the Navy. And, well, what are my chances of being selected for a pilot slot? I'm leaning...

Hello all! I have been accepted to USAFA for class of '25, and have not yet heard from Navy. However, I am trying to prepare myself for the possibility that I might have to make a very difficult decision in the next few weeks if I'm also accepted to USNA. I wanted to get some experienced...

Hello everyone! I was recently granted a waiver to USAFA! I'm very excited but after reading the notification letter I was a little worried. Questions: 1) Even though I was waived to attend USAFA will I not be considered for a pilot or special operations career field because I was not...

Hi, I plan on doing ROTC and really have my heart set on fighters, so I'm wondering if NROTC is a better choice to ensure a fighter slot because of the limited number of heavies the navy has? My understanding after talking with a family friend was that doing AFROTC will increase my chances of...

I'm a senior in Air Force ROTC, and I'm commissioning this upcoming May 2019. I got a pilot slot which is very exciting of course, but my EAD isn't until March 2020, so I have 10 months to fill, and I have no idea what to do until that date. I've been applying for jobs and all that, but it's not...

I am a junior in high school in Massachusetts and I have been looking into Naval Aviation (pilot), wether fixed-wing or rotor, and I am just curious as to how tough it is to get a commission into aviation? I am not interested in USMC aviation and am open to AF aviation (through afrotc)...

I am a senior in high school and want to be a pilot in the Air Force (going through ROTC). I know that is a long time away just wondering how available pilot slots are and what you can do to help your chances of one. I currently have 20 flight hours and am going to Western Michigan University...

I am an AFROTC AS200 cadet. It seems that everyone is asking this question these days, but what do you think my chances of getting a pilot slot are? I have not gone to field training yet and I have 19 flight hours. Here are my scores: Major: Non-Tech GPA: 3.39 AFOQT Pilot: 97 Nav: 61...

Hi, I am a third year cadet looking to get a pilot slot this spring. I need a height waiver but my cadre won't give me a definite answer on what needs to be done to get one and I worry that I am going to run out of time to accomplish the tasks it will take to get one. My standing height is 61"...

I'm joining the AFROTC this fall in college and my goal is to become a pilot. I made some bad decisions in the past and have a daughter as a result. (not saying she's a bad thing) I don't have primary custody of her, but I do occasionally have her on weekends. Does she affect my chances of...

First off, if there is already a thread about this please feel free to redirect me, I wasn't able to find one after a quick search. Anyway, I'm a female cadet at USAFA and have been thinking a lot about my future career. I would really love to fly, possibly fighters. I was hoping for some...

I want to preface this by saying that in an ideal world, I would like to make the military my career so please look at this in that context. I've been offered a Type 7 scholarship from the AF as well as the 4 year from the Army. I would be using either of these at Purdue University under OOS...

I have always wanted to become a pilot, and it is about time to choose. I have my ppl and am hoping to become a pilot. I want to enroll in afrotc, the reason af is because I'm not a big fan of helicopters and I know the other branches have LOTS. Of course I want to fly f22s and f16s but I would...

23 year old freshman at Embry Riddle starting in Spring possibly. Would be enrolling right before my 24th bday and want to also join an ROTC program maybe AFor Navy (always have been in love with AF but recently have been more interested in the Navy as a whole) --will I be to old by the time...

Hello everybody! I am currently a senior in high school and have wanted to be a military fighter pilot ever since I watched "Top Gun". I want to go to college for Computer Science and do some form of ROTC (If I can keep my head on straight throughout college), I've read through forums like "Air...

I know nothing is set in stone and that EADs vary yearly, but I was curious how long people with pilot slots are waiting between commissioning and EAD. It's tough to plan a wedding without knowing when I may leave, so any information you have helps, thanks!
