Hi so I'm a senior in HS and I have been thinking about afrotc for the fall. I know I missed the has scholarship but I know there are scholarships in college afrotc programs. So when I attend Clemson university in the fall I want to get a some sort of scholarship but I'm kinda confused on how exactly the process works?
How are the classes you have to take during the afrotc program?
What are some PT activities most programs do? Is it just going to be running, and sit ups and pushups? I do track and field and cross country so and we took the PFT and I did 50 sit ups, 60 push ups and did a 10:15 1.5 mile run. Is that a good base to have for the fall?
What about uniforms? I know hey are provided but how will I know how to look like the collar length... how to stand at attention.. salute? Will they train/ teach me?
I am going to study civil engineering in college... I know it is going to be tough but I am a smart guy and should be Ok but if I only get like 2.8 GPA will I be out of the running for a scholarship? I'm still confused on how scholarships work.
How is the FT in the summer of going into your junior year? Is it a month or so of running push ups getting yelled at and having to make your bed in prestine condition?
What happens after I graduate? How do I know what I'm going to be doing? Like will I be a engineer or no? What do I need to do after I'm commissioned and serve and I want to go back to school and get my teachers cert.? Will I have yo pay for it out of my pocket? Will the AF pay? Is there standards for the AF to pay for my future education?
Thanks.
