Agagles, he is in AFROTC, he probably should have said rising C200, but than again maybe he is entering AFROTC as a sophomore, thus wondering. I would agree any C100 now rising to C200 would not have needed to ask since they would have been in the unit and saw for their self that nursing and engineers get bonus points compared to non-tech students regarding SFT, but we all know that AFROTC accepts sophomores into the program at college and sends them to SFT.
One thing for future AFROTC cadets, i.e. 2017+, is to remember that eventually critically undermanned areas are filled, and what was the yr before may not be what will be for your yr.
It is a supply and demand issue. This is what people mean when they say the "pipeline".
I am not saying this will occur in the near future for nursing, I am saying don't assume it will remain the same in the future.
As an example:
In 2010, engineering majors were not undermanned, and many got rated assignments. 2013, and now it is a different story, they are going into non-rated engineering fields. Still have a higher rate than non-tech for SFT, but their AFSC changed from yes you can go rated, to no way you are going rated.
The point is it can change that fast from critical to non-critical. Do the math, you apply get it 2013, SFT would be 2015, 90% could have been for 2012, nobody, absolutely nobody here can tell you what the % will be for SFT 13,14, and 15. Not even the CoC. Heck, not even AFROTC HQ can tell you at this moment what the numbers will be for next yr., let alone 2 or 3 yrs from now for SFT because a lot has to do with the AD pipeline.
All you have control over is giving your best each and everyday.
OBTW the key words was PFT and gpa...did you ask him the important question, since obviously 100% did not go? What is the score for doing well on the PFT and what is a good gpa?
A good gpa at your school might be 3.4, and a good gpa at another might be 3.2.
I am not trying to be hard. I am trying to illustrate that the further you get in the system the more you realize how the system works, and that means asking specific, unique questions, not broad based questions.
