Personally as someone currently studying Aerospace Engineering and got a pilot slot yesterday, it does eat at me sometimes that I’m struggling through classes when there are plenty of cadets breezing through. However, we all know that getting a pilot slot does not mean you will for sure be...

Rumor has it the results will be in at some point this week...probably means they'll be delayed till next week but I'm getting excited!

Just took the TBAS this week and did very well. Here's the method I use. First: look at the map and find what direction you're pointing. Second: imagine that direction of travel on the compass. Third: determine where the car park you're looking for is Relative to your direction of travel...

So this past weekend my roomate and I were enjoying the warm weather and drinking some beers on our balcony when he broke down to me and revealed that he was having some issues with his current career path. He's a Junior in Electrical and Computer Engineering (dual major), and basically doesn't...

We were told yesterday of openings of 4 PMT opportunities out at the Academy this summer. They are FreeFall, Soaring, SERE, and FERL. Our applications were due to cadre by noon today, and I believe each Det only nominates one cadet per program. They region commanders then choose like 7-8 per...

One of my friends just left for Columbus last weekend and he graduated May 2016. Just a single example but most of what I have heard is about that same time frame. Someone else can provide more insight haha

Thanks for the info y'all. I am working with a 99 Pilot AFOQT and over 200 hours so I am just curious how low my PCSM could really be if I bombed the TBAS for whatever reason.

Congrats to everyone so far! Unfortunately I have to wait till next Spring to find out and have a question. For you all that had very high PCSM scores would you mind sharing your AFOQT Pilot and Flight Hours? Trying to figure out just how much of the PCSM is determined by the TBAS.

Does anyone know the requirements to go back to Field Training as a CTA? I was recommended to return on my FTPR but was just curious if there were any additional requirements. Thanks all!

Is it not true that varying forms of nominations have more merit to them than others? My younger brother has a JROTC nomination to USNA and USAFA, but isn't sure about congressionals yet. I was under the impression a JROTC nomination doesn't look quite as good to a board in comparison to a...

If your endgame is simply to be a pilot, and you don't have a passion for serving in the military, I would be hesitant to enroll in AFROTC. I am an AS300 cadet (junior in college) and have found out first hand how competitive it is vying for those coveted pilot slots. It will require you to...

It all seems to line up with the OM calculation I've been taught, besides the confusion regarding the FT portion. It really puts things in perspective I think

All very good points, as usual. I know the GPA is my biggest concern, and it has been climbing for the last year or so. However, realistically it can only improve so much, which I have come to accept. Therefore I am trying to see how to potentially make up for a lower-end GPA, even if it is...

Referring the BaseOps was a mistake, I apologize. That was just in reference to the point system noketchup referenced. Again, I agree that that information seems valid, but when I look at my FTPR, all it says is Superior Performer. How do I know if I was 3 or 4 out of my flight? No one in...

Do you care to share your flight hours and AFOQT? I'm trying to get a feel for how tough it is to get a PCSM that high. I got a 99 Pilot AFOQT, and should have the 201 hours...
