Son just spoke with Colonel about options. 1. If stayed on through summer school and into next semester, EA is still slim chance. 2. He could leave rotc, but take rotc classes to use toward minor in military studies, then rejoin the next year as a 250. 3. Transfer to another detachment in home...

Son didn't pass PFA for EA. Not on scholarship so expecting to be given AS500. If this happens, what are chances for success? GPA in comp sci is 2.5 (expecting 3.0 end of this semester). AFOQT is 75 48 95 78 93 from first attemp. Attending out of state school, so tuition is expensive. Wondering...

Can a second year AFROTC candidate who hasn't passed 3rd PFA leave ROTC to focus on studies and later apply for OTC? Is there any black mark in file if haven't commissioned or had EA placement, but has PFA failure? Also, it is better to voluntarily leave AFROTC on own, or have AFROTC...

Thank you all so much for your input. I definitely would not contact cadre directly, but felt I could do some research here to relay to my son. I have looked into the regulations as pointed out from ieatsquirrels and am happy to see the definitive definitions there. That should help. I don't...

Thank you for your response. That is what I thought. My son said it was stated at the PFA that the "observers" have the right to deduct points as they see fit. My concern was if they can do that after all is said and done, AND why is a 300 overseeing the PFA of a 200. Son is not sure he can...

Yes, AFROTC.

Son just failed 3rd consecutive PFA. Last year, first year of college, had 50 pounds to lose, which he did, but fell just short of making the 75 points needed to pass. This year he has been struggling with class schedule, and fell off track getting ready to pass PFA. His weight, height, bmi all...

clarksonarmy, thanks for the response. That is what we were thinking, he is not on scholarship, is in his freshman year, not being paid, and doesn't need to decide to commit until summer after his sophomore year. That is why we were looking for something in print that explains details like...

Thank you for the reply. I don't mean to come across like he can take it easy and expect special consideration. He is a 4.0 gpa student, who stands 6'2" with size 13 feet, is 238 lbs. but doesn't look overweight. We thought he would be allowed the first year of school to attain the weight...

When is the deadline for new AFROTC non-scholarship cadets to meet weight requirements? Son exceeeded weight requirements by32lbs before joining. We read that scholarship cadets had until end of first year of school to meet weight standards, figured that went for non-scholarship cadets as...
