Thank you, I greatly appreciate your help! What do you have to say to the person that says that nearly 45% of cadets were dropped by the AF a few years ago? Do you see that happening? Also, are FT slots that are competed for, or is it necessary? Sorry, very ignorant to AFROTC.
Out of the cadets selected for FT slots at my det last yr, about half of them (maybe a bit more) were 250s that had just come in that year. Many of the top candidates that year were 250s. It is very possible to come in and kick butt right out the gate. Just because a cadet is there for 2 yrs vs 1, doesn't mean the cadre are going to know them better. In fact, sad as it is, there are a few 2nd yrs in my class that are less memorable to the cadre than 250s that only came in last semester. If you come in with a great attitude for LLAB and PT, do more than is expected of you, volunteer for leadership, you'll be noticed in no time.
I do have to ask, coming from Army, what your major is. It doesn't matter to Army, but it really matters to AF. If you are a tech major with a gpa of at least 3.0-3.1, good SAT scores, and a great pfa score (95+), you really shouldn't have anything to worry about as far as getting an EA (Enrollment Allocation to FT, in case you don't know) goes. If you're non-tech, that gpa needs to be a bit higher though.
