weight lifting really won't do much for the fitness test. The skinny guys in my det tend to do well / max as long as they do pushups setups and run regularly. I lift and am able to max the pushups and setups just by doing them whenever I think abt it. I actually stop lifting 2 weeks before a...

don't count on in college scholarship, HSSP is much more achievable.

Yeah that should be enough time for interviewer to submit his evaluation. My interviewer told me which board I would go up to first, but if his didnt that's a reasonable assumption for that date.

I believe it is fairly easy to change from your tech major listed on the scholarship application to another approved tech major. (not all are on the approved list). And while possible to switch later from tech to non-tech, cadre will have to be on board and it is less easy. I got a type 1 tech...

A little confused by the wording of the question, but if you put a non-tech major than yes, your odds of a scholarship are lower. You will need better numbers and a better interview to get a scholarship because it is more competitive. If you put a tech major on the application and get a...

There is no preference given. Your ability to get an EA is a number, everyone above gets it otherwise you don't. Makes sense because its a way of choosing who will do best in the Air Force, and who is getting paid doesn't determine that, although scholarship cadets usually are pretty invested...

Those are all enough for a type one, interview will determine which type you get. Also, focus on room and board also as someone else stated, that's still 10k a year. If you want to do well in the interview, be sure to back up your answers with examples from your own experience, that's what my...

Same for mine, USAFA was super short and I didn't feel like it could have accomplished much, AFROTC was super long and in depth and resulted in a scholarship.

Also, especially for pilot, if you don't put the highest preference you probably wont get it.

+1 to not allowing class ranking to cause you to throw other cadets under the bus. Theres one of those guys at our detachment and no one has his back now. But yeah for rated slots do well on the applicable portions of AFOQT, good GPA and fitness, and excel in your LLAB / AES and other...

The program I believe you are referring to is the you can fly scholarship. From what I understand it is a few grand, which can get you ground school and 10-15 hours, or just use one of the many online ground schools (sporty's or embry riddle's) and use it all to fly. My commander said the next...

In my cadet surf I have a Y (yes) next to CSO, ABM, and RPA. However, there is an R next to the Pilot category. Anyone know what this stands for? I passed DODMERB without any issues.

I would recommend he give the Det a call to figure it out. However, I believe that you must major in one of the approved "Highly desired majors" in order to be on scholarship. Switching from one tech to another tech major shouldn't be a big deal, however if his current engineering program choice...

Our university has vans which cadets volunteer to drive to LLAB and AES Class. Another cross-town at the same det has to carpool.

Same here, one school offered me full tuition but wouldn’t give a cent to room and board, another’s scholarship could go towards room and board meaning full ride.
