OKAY, I have to ask current cadets if they have heard anything about the impact of OCS? Ac
cording to USAF they are increasing OCS rated slots to 250 per year from @125-150. UPT bases are operating at 110%. So if they up the OCS side how will that impact ROTC cadets going rated? They can't add more students bc they are maxxed currently, so how will they do it?
Secondly, when you place low on your list, don't you risk getting not picked up at all and your only option is to go to the supplemental board?
I think it is important to address both of these aspects.
Finally, the pilot world is short, but when we say that, it is short for experienced pilots not newbies. That whole 700 fighter pilots short is IMPO not impacting you bc you will not wing until 2020. Will not be operational until 2021. OTOH the RPA world is short and will be short for years to come.
~ Goes back to that list aspect when it comes to rating out Pilot CSO RPA and ABM
What is the CoC portion now? Is it still the majority? If so, for the OP, that CoC ranking and their SFT ranking they can take a ding. I think their cgpa and PFA are strong, PCSM is avg., but I am with Alpha those two portions hurt you.
Do you have any flight hours?
I strongly suggest you read Raimius's blog regarding UPT. It his signature tag line (blue link). Getting selected is one thing, surviving 54 weeks out of UPT is a whole different world.
~ ROTC and college is a party life compared to UPT. It is 6 days a week flying/studying/sims 18 hrs a day. Please please read his link, It is not BS, it is real life.
