Irv61,
I am taking the assumption you have no military connection, or at the very least AF.
I do not know if this is your 1st or 5th child in college.
I will say this as a C400 AFROTC cadet with UPT assignment to Laughlin AFB Mom; your heart is in the right place, but misguided.
SFT is off their radar right now as a C100.
~~ His concern will be about jobs within the det, PFA scores and Commanders rack/stack
He will not even begin to comprehend/process SFT until his spring semester when he has his job in the det for next fall. When he has his new PFA scores. When he has his spring review with the Commander.
All you should be concerned about now when conversing with him for this issue is:
1. GPA
2. PFT
3. AFROTC job for spring semester
4. Rack/stack by the Commander that was given at the end of this semester.
I am positive you love your child. Discussing SFT may just create an additional burden.

Any input would be appreciated so I know what questions to ask over the semester break
Just my opinion, but Bullet and I never broached the subject for SFT, rated, assignment etc. DS was AFROTC scholarship, endured that board plus...SFT, Rated, and assignment in 4 short years.
He will come to you and talk about it, follow his lead. You raised a great kid, he will talk and include you in his life, he is trying to figure it out for himself.
He will be your Northern Star.
Another cliche, but sometimes silence is golden.
