Yes, he's pilot. Extenuating circumstances is why he is going later.

Not everyone will be having their flight physicals this summer. The majority may, yes. But my son isn't scheduled to go for his until next spring.

It is 24 hours of math or science or 12 hours of a single foreign language I believe. As far as I know it is any language, not critical. My son took 4 math classes for 12 hours and 3 science classes with labs for 12 more hours.

Accounting does not count, no. However, a business statistics class my son took did because it was a math based class. Have him go over his degree plan with someone at the detachment, most likely the commander. If I remember correctly it really is up to him/her what counts in regards to the...

Yes the AP credits do count so that is 7 credits of the 24 already. I would assume that the foreign language would not. If the school isn't accepting them then ROTC wouldn't either. My son had to fulfill these extra credit requirements also, and he is a finance major as well. Feel free to PM me...

My son got a pilot slot today! Yay! He is non tech with a 3.9 gpa, 96 pfa, and 46 pcsm score. They had 2 competing but only he got one. He is thrilled.

My son is a 300 right now and has a package in to compete for a rated slot. He was selected for a FT slot last summer as a non-tech non-rated. His AFOQT scores are just about 2 years old now come March. Pilot 90 Navy 98 Acad. Apt. 97 Verbal 90 Quantitative 98 No ABM score for him either

I'm just curious when you guys first took the TBAS? My son is going to compete for a rated spot and his detachment is in the works to schedule his test for next week before he flies home for break. Did you take it multiple times already? Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

Don't feel bad about the book $. My son is a 300 and still hasn't received his tuition $ for the semester and is also receiving last year's stipend amount every month. He did get the book $ though. Hopefully he will get caught up before this semester ends! Sent using the Service Academy Forums®...

There is no set time as to when you will get either your stipend or book $. It really does depend on how fast your detachment gets the paperwork in. Usually within a month of school starting, but no guarantees. As for the book stioend you can buy 1 book, 10 books or no books and you will...

Most of what was previously stated above is true. My son accepted a HSSP CLS in 2012. He was offered Type 2, non-tech as he is studying business. I know that not everyone detachment offers one of these scholarships each year because beginning that year there were minimum ACT/SAT scores that...

My son, AFROTC has yet to be a stipend this school year. They keep telling him there is a delay, not sure why when I am fairly certain that other AFROTC cadets have been receiving stipends regularly. His tuition and book stipend were paid but still no monthly stipend. Good thing he isn't...
