I am a student at a school with an AFROTC detachment. I am a rising sophomore and intend on graduating in the spring of 2015 with a degree in nursing. I spoke with the cadre around February about joining AFROTC and I was encouraged to do so. I filled out all of the paper work my last week on campus in May and I enrolled in AS2100 back in March.
When speaking to the unit admissions officer he seemed really excited about me joining. I asked him what my chances of getting an EA would be because I am pushing my graduation back a semester by joining, and not completing the program would be a waste of time and money. He was a bit surprised by my question (apparently other students don't really look into the program) and he told me that with my stats he was 95% sure I'd get an EA if I could pull a 95+ on the PFA.
Now, I'm wondering if what he said was true, and if anyone could tell me how far behind I'll be this upcoming semester and what I can work on this summer. I know a cadet in the program (I met him in a spanish class I wasn't supposed to be in and didn't know he was in AFROTC until after I decided to join...had to be fate right??) and he is willing to help me with drill and uniforms and stuff.
I'm really serious about becoming an Air Force nurse, my parents think I'm crazy, but my brother who is an active duty soldier thinks it's a great idea. I really want to be the best cadet I can be, show the cadre that I really want this.
GPA: 3.39 (was a 3.46 in February but I took on too many hours this spring)
ACT: 30 (only took it once never took SAT)
I'm only taking around 13 hours this semester so I should definitely be able to pull my GPA up
Any input is welcome
