AFROTC Disenrollment

[Bloodtear27]

How long does an investigation for disenrollment takes? After submitting all the paper work.

I have that exact question? Can someone here give at least an estimate of how long this process takes? The winter break started today, Spring semester starts Jan 9... will the investigation and the results, happen in time to start spring semester? Thanks.

Different topic, skip The PFA jazz but read below.

We have an individual currently in the process of disenrollment because they have are a 400 like you and have not passed the last 3 official PFA opportunities they've had (that's being generous, pretty sure they went from below average scores to failing spring of 300 year because they gained a TON of weight after FT). Puking after the 1st lap of the run....on several occasions.

From what I know, failing the pfa as a GMC is not a huge deal so long as you pass it by the time EA applications come around. Failing as a POC is a more serious event that is grounds for investigation for disenrollment. Like afrotc16 said, you should know this by now. They expect you to pass all of your pfa's after sophmore year, there's little excuse for not doing so unless you're injured or ill.

The cadet I mentioned has been going through a long disenrollment processes and, honestly, should be disenrolled. Nice person, but can't possibly take this serious enough if they can't even keep up to scratch on the most BASIC requirement for military service. Completely unsat.

You and this other cadet are fortunate in that the AF is on an upswing and seems to be more lax rn about who they kick out. The cadet is currently trying to fight the disenrollment, not sure if they'll win. I may graduate before I get to see it resolved. If this is the first time you've failed as a POC...which the semester's over so I'm assuming you must have failed the wing pfa as well as the makeup pfa because every Det has a makeup following the official for people who don't pass the first time, which isn't super great for you....BUT if this is a one semester thing and you can convince your CO that you'll have your sh*t together bright and early first few weeks back you may be Ok. (When you fail one semester then the next semester it is often a requirement to take it as soon as you get back to school.)

From the cases I've seen, it takes a while. If it's not medical or something else that's pretty cut and dry, and if you are contracted you can be required to still meet ROTC attendance requirements for another full semester. The guy I met going through a sticky disenrollment process at the academy was on the clock for the rest of spring through to the last few weeks of summer (was required to still attend and run summer training) until he received the official dismissal from HQ with a few weeks left until the fall. Rising senior, got hit with a huge bill and not enough time left until graduation to start over with ROTC.

Another ROTC cadet I knew decided he didn't want to be in the AF anymore but was on scholarship as a GMC, kid was miserable for the full school year because made that decision AFTER he had stepped foot in the Detachment at the beginning of his 2nd year which meant that he now owed the AF. HQ spent the year deciding if he would be required to pay them back via service, with money, or if they'd let him go without penalty. Had to fully participate and meet minimum requirements or risk HQ passing down a more unfavorable sentence.
