AFROTC Rated Board 2015

Looks more like 200 kids to relocate. I wonder what is up with the one kid who has been already disenrolled.
 
I was wondering the same thing about the disenrollment cadet....I am hoping for that cadet they weren't on scholarship!

Was this the year group that they offered the CSO scholarship or was it the ABM scholarship?

Those cgpas are pretty high. I am curious to see what the nontech cgpa was for pilot. Usually there is @0.3 difference between tech and non tech, thus it might be the nontechs needed to have an avg closer to 3.7
 
Pima, this year group had the CSO scholarship opportunity.

Also, I was under the impression that tech/non-tech was masked for the rated board, meaning non-techs shouldn't have to have a higher cgpa than techs because the board doesn't actually know which they are? I'm a non-tech and have a 3.75 and got a pilot slot, FWIW.
 
Oh really? We didn't get offered the CSO opportunity at our detachment. It was our 400s now that were offered the CSO ABM scholarship at our det. We did get offered the Missile scholarship though. Congratulations to all of the rated recipients!

It was a couple years ago. I was told I had the opportunity to apply for it during the spring semester of my 100 year. I'm a 300 now.
 
Here is something I thought about......

Let's say the AF offers the Total Force Commissioning Process again this year, which would allow cadets to pursue their commission in the Air Guard or Reserve units. Now, each guard and reserve unit generally has one or two UPT slots each year that civilians can apply for. I wonder if we can apply for these as cadets and end up getting a UPT slot through a guard or reserve unit. It would definitely be beneficial for the unit, as they wouldn't have to send the candidate through OTS since they already earned a commission through ROTC. I'm sure there's not a whole lot of regs on this, since the Total Force Commissioning process was just introduced - because of this I think there are some loopholes for it to be done. Again, I'm sure most of us on here don't have a clear answer about this, but it's something I'm going to ask my Det commander about.
 
Each unit has their own standards too. Therefore, they get to pick who they send to UPT, granted you meet their standards. You would only be competing against other candidates who are applying for the unit as well.
 
They are not doing Total Force Commissioning this year since EA's were already slated for last year's FY16 cadets.
 
I think the question everyone not selected (myself included) needs to ask is am I willing to serve in the Air Force as a non rated officer? Personally, Im severely disappointed that I wasn't picked but I also won't throw away a chance to serve active duty.

Now to my knowledge the Air Force is still thirsty for pilots and other rated officers. Maybe they will have more slots available later this year for the supplemental board (381 seems low compared to years prior). That's my hope but in the mean time I'm exploring my options.
 
I'm interested to see what the do with the non-selects. Will they compete against one another, or wait and compete in the fall, and how many will be disenrolled.

A lot of kids not selected may have been engineers, which will make it easy for them.
 
I'm a 5 year engineering major (Civil). Therefore, I wasn't in the year group that had to compete for rated EA slots. From what I heard, everyone who went to FT with a rated EA, that didn't get selected for a rated position, will undergo a disenrollment investigation. My roommate is in that case, I am not. He is looking to go STO or ALO though, so our Det commander thinks he will have a good chance of not getting disenrolled because those are undermanned career fields.

I have a feeling there will be a decent number of people to get picked up down the road, whether it be supplemental or alternate boards. Either way, going in as a Civil Engineering officer has always been my backup, and I'm perfectly fine with that. Until then, if there's still rated opportunities still out there for me I'm going to pursue them.
 
My DS confirmed that he heard the same information that cowskee stated, that only the cadets that went to Field Training on a Rated EA slot and failed to earn a Rated position on the recent board will be investigated for disenrollment. Hopefully that because the FY16 FT class was so small, that there will be non rated slots for all rated non selects.

I am not someone that knows the system, but...
I am not sure you will have the option to ask that question if you are willing to serve?
~ Assuming you are currently contracted. As a 300

You as a contracted cadet are at their will. That is the system...impo!

I am not trying to be antagonistic, but when they Service Before Self they mean it.

There is a lot of information missing right now when it comes to alternates.

207 is a big number, but this is a year group that CSO and ABM scholarships were offered. It can impact the alternate list
~ IE the alternate slate could be all Pilot or RPA.

Secondly, nobody that gets CSO/RPA/ABM wants to read this, but their training is very long, and you can most likely apply earlier for UPT than they can if you are flying a desk.

Just my opinion, but the needs to ask is I am willing to serve in the AF as a non rated officer?
~ is frightening to me.

Hopefully not too many cadets will be disenrolled. I know some cadets on non-rated or foreign language slots applied for rated, so that opens up at least some slots.

Question -- do rated selects who get medically DQed at their three day physical face the same risks that the current alternates face?
 
Alternates would have to go through the FC1 physical, so I am not sure what you are asking....the alternates have to be picked up and pass the FC1, just like the rated 300s.
 
Sorry, I worded that very unclearly -- what I mean is, alternates came in on rated EAs but did not receive slots, and therefore face disenrollment. What about current rated selects who fail their physical? I'm wondering if there is room for them to go non-rated, or if they will also face disenrollment because they were assumed to go rated and no longer can?

It depends, if you go up there and get medically DQd, they can disenroll you. But that depends on two factors, what you were DQd for and how hard your Cadre tries to reslot you non-rated.
 
+1

Honestly, this class size is insanely small.

Could the diseneroll them? Yes.

FC1 is not equivalent to the DoDMERB...it is an FAA physical too.
~ That being said they may fail the FC1, but their major may be something the AF wants that they say...keep the cadet (STEM) whereas, the basket weaving major they say cut loose!

Honestly, everyone that got rated should rejoice right now ....but...the reality is this was the easy part. Read raimius blog... I believe he has it as a signature link.

Just saying as a Mom, AFROTC was so much easier than UPT!

BOLDFACE....BOLDFACE....BOLDFACE!

Seriously.
