Sure....if you don't mind sitting in a missile silo in Minot N Dakota.Sounds like it's good to be a Missile Operations Officer right about now.
Why not Minot?

Sounds just like the Army ROTC process except for the part in bold, that is not an option in the Army....yet.

Probably one of the least desirable jobs in the AF, of course they're not letting them go, ppl with that AFSC would leave in droves. I know a couple cadets who got that AFSC who would take the deal in a heartbeat.
I guess if you have something else you can move on to then leaving would be nice, if not, having a job for 4 years might be the less of two evils.
You can save a lot of money living in Minot, there's not much to spend it on.
It's been "scary" for quite some time. Not too late to check out the Army.Scary time for me to be starting AFROTC...
I hope that if they do implement this system they take everything into account like the Army OML, 2nd majors and minors, Foriegn languages, ECs, jobs, academic research, etc.
I'd be happy to work for the AF in just about any capacity save Reserves/Guard right out the gate.

The problem I am having is if I stick out AFROTC until graduation, there is a possibility I could only be given a part time position with the Reserves or ANG. Am I mistaken here? I am a senior in college and I am trying to start a career. I have no time or patience for a part time position.
Maybe they are going to get exactly what they are hoping for.
I am looking to start a career and build my life. If they expect me to take a part time ANG position, they are out of their minds. The Air Force is either number one priority or not one at all. What were they thinking with implementing this on seniors in college? Maybe they are going to get exactly what they are hoping for.

I hear that. And what about active/reserve preference vs job preference? When would they decide who is active or not? Before or after they tell us our AFSC? I feel like active/reserve is far more important. It'd suck to find out you got your #1 AFSC choice only to find out later that most ppl with that AFSC are going reserves, especially if say your 2nd or 3rd choice (which you would be just as happy with) is going to be all active. I'd take a different job over not going active any day.
What I'm wondering is what's going on in the Navy with all of this? The AF is hurting, Army is about to start really hurting, it's already hard as hell to get any extra training for AROTC plus the competition for active duty is getting stiffer, and Navy is still sending ROTC cadets on cruises so they can't be hurting that much. Extra training for ROTC cadets is one of the 1st things to suffer isn't it?

I agree with you about Navy. There seems to be increase funding for all aspects of the Navy. I wonder could any one shed light on how this is possible.
