Supposedly there will be 455 rated slots for 875 (projected) graduating cadets in the class of 2015. This was announced at the AFSC brief this evening. Of course.....these things are always subject to change between now and commissioning.

Additionally, your academic major now is taken into consideration.
The #2 ranked guy in 2014 got his 2nd pick.
The #4 ranked guy got his 3rd choice.
I'll see if I can link to the table which shows AFSCs vs Majors when it's released to me.
The UPT bases (Laughlin for sure) are probably happy with that as they are fighting tooth and nail to get all the 2013 USAFA grads + new OTS and ROTC arrivals + internationals/reserve/guard into the pipeline before 2014 shows up. There are still a few dozen USAFA 2013 grads waiting to start at Laughlin. Wouldn't be surprised if they are just getting the last of them by July/August.
Could you elaborate? That's interesting. (USAFA 2010's #1 grad was a Foreign Area Studies major and #2 grad was a Management major).
X2That makes more sense now. AVT, I think you were giving some posters minor strokes by adding in how the non-rated AFSC board works on a rated thread.

Doesn't that 500 qualified grads per class just represent those that have attempted to become pilot qualified because they were considering a rated AFSC? As the class sizes become smaller I would imagine that we will see a corresponding decrease in the number of cadets attempting to become pilot qualified. Not sure whether the AF will also need fewer pilots per USAFA class or not.There may be 875 grads but there have only been about 500 pilot qualified grads per class in the last decade or so....
The AF does not require those that want rated slots to take medical/physical tests that the rest of the cadets (those not seeking a rated slot) are not required to take? Are you considered Pilot Qualified before these tests are administered during the 2nd degree year?Most people are or are not Pilot Qualified. The exceptions would be people with waivers or who get PRK.
Thanks. I guess that I "assumed" that because AFROTC only sends the cadets interested in a rated slot to Wright-Pat for a pilot physical that it would be the same (minus Wright-Pat) for USAFA cadets. I'll ask my son whether everyone is taking a physical during their 2 degree year and whether he knows whether it's the same physical for all the cadets.W.. When I did it, everyone got a physical done during their 2 deg year that determined whether they would be PQ or not.
Interesting. My 2nd degree has a host of tests that he needs to schedule between now and the end of March in order to be Pilot Qualified. He did not need any waivers for DODMERB, had perfect vision, and hasn't suffered any injuries. I wonder why he needs these tests now if everyone is already PQ'd?My 3 deg already knows he's PQ. Not sure if they test every year or moved it up on them. Still undecided on UPT but at least he could
My son said that during the UPT brief earlier this week that they were told that any of the designations (from DODMERB) should be disregarded. Until the 2nd degrees pass these medical/physical tests that are scheduled during the next couple of months....they are NOT pilot qualified... the understanding going in was that it was a potential designation..
