Hi all this is probably not the first time you’ve seen me on this side of the forum. I’m currently in afrotc and I honestly believe I’m about to DQed. I have pretty significant arthritis in my shoulder. No pain or meds, but the X-rays aren’t pretty. I was just curious if I got this issue...

This was really helpful thank you. To be honest, field training is looking 50/50 right now. It’s a really tough year. I already know my commander wouldn’t have an issue keeping me as an AS500 but I’d rather not repeat FTP year and have to compete with a new class of which much more want pilot...

Hi all, I know this may not be the right area for this, but I just wanted to put It here anyway since this forum sees a lot of activity. So I'm currently a sophomore enrolled in AFROTC and I have to decide within the next few weeks (for my personal reasons) whether I want to stick with the...

Good morning everyone, Im currently a 200 in AFROTC and I have a question for all those enrolled in AFROTC or have experience with the topic. I joined AFROTC to try and achieve my goal of becoming a military pilot but as we all know sometimes the Air Force will put you wherever they want to...

Hi all, I’m in a bit of a dilemma right now and I could use some help. I’m currently an AS200 in AFROTC but I am still debating on if I would like to stay. I know this has been said a million times, but my main goal is to fly and I genuinely think I wouldn’t enjoy doing anything else that rotc...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if secfo officers can become ravens or Dagres. Also, is secfo trying any similar to infantry training? Just curious-thanks!

First of all, thank you for reaching out, it’s much appreciated. I’m about to go into my As200 year and I’m having mixed feelings about staying in rotc or waiting to go guard. It’s not the AD that I’d have an issue with, it just comes down to which is better for a UPT slot. I’ve heard mixed...

If anyone out there is a current pilot in the active AF or guard, would you be willing to answer a few questions? I’m available to DM here or I can drop my number. Thanks !

Hey everyone, I need some help here. I’m a cadet but I’m having conflicting views on whether or not I should stay in Afrotc or go guard route for a pilot slot. A little background: Im an upcoming AS200 with 3.0 gpa in criminal justice. I’m a top third cadet (as of spring semester). I have yet...

Quick question for anyone who has had similar experiences with DoDmerb 1) I have had a waiver approved for afrotc beginning of my AS100 year, and as you all know this will expire before I contract. Are the chances of my waiver getting approved again high? The waiver was for a shoulder surgery...

Hey there kind SA forum folks, I was just wondering if anyone experienced in the field out there could give me any insight on wether or not you could fly for the Air Force in the civilian world, or If any civilian flying career could resemble mil flying.

First of all, thank you Mr. Mullen for reading this, I posted it here just so I can get some opinions from other cadets in my scenario. Quick backstory: I am a reapplicant who was med dq’ed last year. USAFA didn’t request a waiver from me, so that was the end of that. But this year, Rotc has...

I know this should be in the Dodmerb thread but I was looking for hopefully some people with experience. Im DQ’d because of a shoulder surgery and shoulder dislocation. I’ve been requested to apply for a waiver by rotc. Let me describe the severity of my injury. It’s really not as bad as it...

I have taken my exam last year for USAFA and was DQ due to shoulder surgery. I was not requested a waiver due to not being competitive. I am in AFROTC now and have been requested for a waiver. Can anyone tell me if shoulder surgery is a common waiver? I had the surgery 3 years ago and have made...

Thank you for this. The biggest problem is not the difficulty, but that the course is completely online with no professor. We were given absolutely zero instruction on how to initiate the course and because of this I am way behind and since the course is run by a programs website, there is...
