I'm not intending to be disrespectful with my following comment:
The AF is in a period of identity crisis. Strategic long range bombing has reduced in importance over the past decade. Geopolitical uncertainties make land-based fighters more difficult to place now that ever before, at least in the regions where we need them. Aircraft carrier deployed fighters are more flexible, though limited in range in many cases. So there is a tradeoff between allocating add'l resources to Naval Aviation vs. AF.
I wrote a month ago that moral at the AFA was low, and that spring Semester last year, many, many cadets were inquiring about how to transfer to the Naval Academy.
I expect to see a reduction in all forms of Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC scholarships over the next couple of years, perhaps 25% less. However, I believe the Air Force ROTC scholarships will decrease proprotionately more... maybe 35%? who knows, but I expect that just as the AFA has announced 10-20% fewer slots into the Academy for this fall and beyond, and the USNA and USMA have not made any such announcements, that we are already beginning to see a reduction in Air Force resources greater than the reductions we see for Navy+Marines, and Army.
