AF ROTC Enrollment Allocation Results

I don't know how the board is going to go when it comes that way. This is just my opinion, my guess, my thought process.

FY15 cadets need to go this yr., because they must be a POC for at least 3 semesters. FY16 (engineers), can be delayed for a yr.because they will still have at least 3 more semesters if delayed 1 yr.

In my crazy mind, that is the way I can see them protecting the ADAF manpower needs for 15.

I don't have any insight, I don't sit on any board. I am not saying all or any 5 yr majors will be on the block. I am just trying to see how they can manage to keep ADAF manpower on track for 15's with the cut.

They could also decide not to do that, but waive the POC requirement from 3 to 2 semesters, and everyone goes up....lowest 600 scoring cadets become 500's.

Take your pick, because either way is a viable option.

The thing is when you think they are turning right...they turn left. Anyone in the know, will not tell you anything, thus the true frustration is the guessing.
 
Pima, a parent question,

will 'all' AFA Grads at some point deploy Oversea's in their career whether that be 5 or 20 years in length? Speaking more at non-flight, if this makes any sense, or you have an idea about. Thank you.
 
So... any update on release date/time? Are they definitely not coming out today?
 
pointguard, so as not to divert the thread, I would suggest you make a new thread, because 1. This is AFROTC not AFA....assuming you meant not AFA, but ADAF. 2. The answer will be very long since it will have to do with what type of non-rated job, rank, etc. 3. What do you consider deployed...30 days, 60, 90, 120, 180...remote?

No word coming out of HQ AFROTC this late in the day means that the chances of knowing anything prior to next week are slim-to-none. Have a good weekend!

You're drunk...go home. On a side note, your child is contemplating joining the military, not the peace corps.
 
Sorry, you're right of course.

Sometimes moving to fast and when the light goes on in my peabrain I put it down and forget there is a logic to all this. Hoping to be better in the future! Thx....
 
I was wrong UAafrotc,

as Pima so kindly, and nicely pointed out. You on the other hand were not nice and I don't appreciate it, or think it warranted. I have a reason for my question, as everyone does on here, to learn. I don't need you to tell me to man up. That is already covered. Thank you.

Definitely out of line and certainly not expected from a future leader. In addition to an apology perhaps a bit of self-reflection is in order for UA.

Let's see, your a senior AFROTC cadet soon to graduate and commission and this is what you seem to think is an appropriate response to a simple question. Sounds like you may have missed the Gentleman class in regard to being an Officer and a Gentleman. Let's just hope this tone doesn't follow you to active duty, things will not go well for you.

Edit: Irv61 beat me to my post.
 
Over the course of my 10-year career, I have dealt with both troops and parents of said troops that were somehow caught off guard when it came time for deployment. Whenever the question comes up lately, it strikes a sensitive nerve in me that screams "service before self!" We are a completely voluntary military force these days. If you want to be a member of our military, you have to be willing to be a participant in executing orders that are given to protect and uphold our great nation's interests, whether they be overseas or stateside.

The 'drunk' comment stemmed from how poorly written and misplaced the originating comment was.

So...how about those EA's?
 
UA,

Your last post regarding your defense of the drunk comment, IMPO bodes even worse now.

You are 28 (10 yrs career). I could have looked the other way for a 20 yr. old, but not 28.

I get your position, but this site is not about ridiculing posters in such an offensive way. Not everyone has military ties, or gets where a post should be placed.

I saw that they had 58 posts, relatively few, and their terminology was off the mark, but with that number it said they are not a troll. They are a parent that doesn't get the lingo.

I actually didn't respond to your comment, because I saw that it was your 2nd post, and wanted to wait to see if you were a troll just to get a rise out of posters. Old posters like me have seen a fair share of trolls...just the other day there was one on the AFA threads.

I understand your point of deployments, but instead of saying you are drunk, you could have said that there will be deployments due to the nature of the business. You could have said with your 10 yrs of experience, I have been deployed...in the AF they don't go to the front lines like the Army, to give them security from that perspective.

You didn't have to cut them at their knees. Do you do think that is the true sign of a strong officer? Don't you think educating and informing a young member regarding the AF way is better?

Finally I agree, I think you have made your position crystal clear. Other posters have made their position crystal clear. We are not going to change anyone's position.

Let's get back on topic.

Let's keep to SAF's rules, no personal attacks.
 
It is usually not what you say but how you say it. Something to think about.
 
My DS called this afternoon (3.5 year scholarship/2nd year) and said that they were told by the DET that the announcement for summer field training will be made next week. As an aside, he mentioned getting an email that stated that stipends for 1st and 2nd year scholarship cadets are being cut by $50/month and stipends for 3rd and 4th year cadets are being cut by $100/month.
 
Vamon,

Did he happen to know if the information would be released in the beginning of the week, or will we have to wait until Friday again?
The suspense is killing me!
 
Same here!

It is true about the stipend..

We should have found out about EAs 2 weeks ago!!!
 
Beonks.....he said that that was all the information that was given. I hope all of you who are waiting manage to have a nice weekend. I guess the waiting is good practice for your future military careers, but nonetheless painful!
 
No news from the cadre at my DET today but the POC were telling all of us we would hear on monday.

Do you guys think when they review our packages they take into account the stability of the detachment? For example at my Det we started with 16 200s/250s at the beginning of the year but we were cut down to just 9 now. With the 100 class having about 40 people and a supposed large incoming class next year thats not a lot of POC to go around. Thats if all 9 of us get EA's and graduate this summer.
