Thanks for the info Pima! If I successfully join this ROTC unit, I'll update with more info so posters can know more about it! Still working on getting my pushups to the level I need, and of course the medical issue at hand! Thanks again!

Thanks for the advice Pima. I guess I should have put it in another forum! Still a little new at this :) For clarification, the AFROTC program at my university is two years. They are rare from what I've heard from other posters and online. I'm about to be a junior in college at a 4-year...

Just noticed you wanted me to reply with what I found out. I did speak with them again, and they are indeed a two-year program. From what I read online, there are only two of these programs. The university used to be a four-year program but is now a two-year program. Field training takes place...

Hey, I was just wondering, I have a DQ condition for AFROTC which is PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome). Does anyone know how likely they are to waive this? I don't have any cysts or anything, it's strictly a hormonal imbalance for me. I have an appointment with the AFROTC at my university on...

I'm sorry to hear this :/ It's unfortunate that budget cuts affect nurses as well since there is an overall shortage civilian and military side from what I've heard. Does anyone know if the same goes for AFROTC? I'm in the process of joining AFROTC through my university and haven't heard...

The one at my university is. You enter as a junior and go to field training between junior and senior year. It is a small detachment as well. It"s very condensed from what the cadre instructor said because they do everything in two years instead of four. No one seems to be familiar with the...

I have a question. The school I attend has a two-year AFROTC program and the cadre instructor said my scholarship app would go in around july. Do you or anyone know why it will be submitted so late? Is it because I'm already in college?

I have contacted them and had a meeting with one of the cadre instructors. I wasn't able to speak with any of the cadets (although I didn't think to ask either). Thanks for the heads up because I may ask next time I speak with the instructor. He seemed quite interested in getting me to join...

Thanks aglages! I'll make sure I ask him about SFT when I go to his office! Thanks for the help everyone :)

Yeah I was thinking the same thing! The cadre instructor felt confident but didn't want to tell me definitely 100% in case something happened and it didn't work out of course! I'll keep researching, but I guess if I don't get to be a nurse, I'll still get to serve for 4 years. Also a positive to...

My apologies on the confusion. I am a sophomore (rising junior). Our ROTC program is only two years and we can only enter as juniors. I spoke with them individually and he seems to think my chances are great at a scholarship based on my academic record. He said he was 99% sure I'd go in as a...

Not to interrupt your conversation, but thanks for the extra input! I was told the AF definitely needed nurses, so it's good to hear someone agree as well! Now if I could just figure out which route is best for me, I would be so relieved!

Thanks for the input! I've spoken to the cadre at my school and he informed me that the Air Force was in need for nurses. He actually came to our school of nursing to try and recruit us. Is that just normal strategy, or do you think the AF actually is in need in medical areas? He was telling us...

Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum so I apologize if this has already been posted. I searched but couldn't find anything to answer my question. I'm currently a junior at my university seriously considering AFROTC. I saw on the AFROTC site that if you accepted a scholarship in high school...

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum so I thought I'd introduce myself! I'm currently a sophomore nursing student at my college. I'm looking into joining the AFROTC program at my university. It is a two-year program versus the four-year program! I'm been researching the military for quite some...

Hello belle, I'm currently a nursing student at my university considering joining our AFROTC (ours is a two-year program instead of four). So, I cant give much advice about what actually goes on in the program. However, I would say just sit down and do some research on the two different...
