I'm not very interested in the going rated. Being a pilot sounds interesting, but I don't have enough of a passion for it to potentially lose a chance to get commissioned. I appreciate your advice, and I am just awaiting an email from The det. to set some sort of meeting and visitation date...

Thank you for your insight. I understand the disadvantage I'll be at by joining AFROTC late. As long as there is a possibility to earn a commission through AFROTC, I intend to work towards that. I have emailed the AFROTC det. at the school I wish to transfer to. The reality is, I'm out of state...

I'm in the process. I'm not looking to scam the government or tax payers for tuition. Not my intention and never was.

I was merely seeking advice, as you pointed out. Not a "What I would do" comment. I am going into this semester with an open mind. I don't want to hate being in AROTC. I didn't expect to be at this point because I've always wanted to serve. This hasn't been easy for me to decide, or come on a...

I'm an Economics major with a 3.5. PT will not be an issue.

Thank you, I greatly appreciate your help! What do you have to say to the person that says that nearly 45% of cadets were dropped by the AF a few years ago? Do you see that happening? Also, are FT slots that are competed for, or is it necessary? Sorry, very ignorant to AFROTC.

I apologize if I came off as questioning your knowledge. I only came here because I don't know where else to go. I know I'm very fortunate to have been awarded a 4 year scholarship, I just don't want to be in the Army anymore. I've considered National Guard/Reserves, but that doesn't change the...

If that's the reality of the situation, then so be it. I do want to be an Army Officer. It's as simple as that. If I don't get an AFROTC scholarship, I don't get one. The money is great, but I want to serve in some capacity. I'm aware of the downsizing military and how difficult scholarships are...

In response to your concerns, are you familiar with the Army Accessions process? Going into AROTC, I didn't know that Active Duty had to be competed for. Going Active Duty is certain for Air Force Cadets. Also, have you seen how much the Army is cutting back? It's outrageous across the board...

Mom and Dad are completely on board.

I planned to stick this semester out and then transfer to the AFROTC program this fall. Thank you for your help. I just wanted to know the repercussions of breaking my contract.

Will I be forced to repay the money that the Army has already invested in me?

I am a freshman in Army ROTC on 4 year scholarship. I am also a contracted cadet. I just completed my first semester at my university, and I have decided that I want to be an Air Force Officer. How do I drop Army ROTC? I know in my contract, it said I wouldn't face a forced enlistment or paying...
