    years of service?

    Hello, This is a dad posting. I understand when my child is sworn in on Jun 26, he will become a member of the USAF. I think it was Christcorp who explained that going to the USAFA is very similar to being enlisted, the only real differences are that the USAFA cadet's job is being a student...

    Scholarships at the AFA?

    AROTC Value?

    Is there a list of how much the different levels of the Army ROTC scholarships will pay? My DS was offered the type2/7 from the AFROTC. I knew that he would only qualify for that based on his major. Still pretty exciting. I have tried to figure out what the AROTC offers, but other than...

    USAFA Conressional Nom

    Does the AFROTC know about this or should my DS update his AFROTC application? Also, should he update his ARTOC application with this information? West Point was his first choice, but he was medically DQ'd. He was not DQ'd from Air Force and does not need a waiver from either.
