I was in this situation two years ago, I had an RPA slot from the Fall 15 supplemental board and in Jan 16 got a call saying I was given a pilot slot. The situation/timing was pretty non standard but could happen any given year really. So if pilot selects get DQ'd/disenrolled/drop their slot, or...

Absolutely agree, you may get picked up on the supp board within a few weeks. I was on the pilot alternate list when I got my RPA slot last Fall and was bumped to pilot earlier this year. It was a unique situation because I was a nonselect to begin with, but other folks had similar stories to...

Don't be afraid to ask your Det Commander about any opportunities for any rated slots even if the supplemental boards have passed, my buddy and I did in October last year and we got an RPA slot even after the boards had supposedly convened. If you want it badly enough and your cadre see that...

My stats were about the same as yours, the differences were my PCSM was 63, PFA 96.6, and GPA 2.96. Since you got FT out of the way, try to get some hours before December rolls around to get that PCSM 70+. It may be expensive but it's a worthy investment if flying is what you want your career...

Some of my friends who are going cyber were May 2017 until this week when theirs were updated to late August 2016. As you know EADs are updated monthly so who knows which ones will change or not lol

I was told my Jan 17 EAD in mid April, it was originally 30 Sept 16 like most were but rated cadets were the only ones who changed pretty much to next year.

Currently, my EAD is set for Jan 2017 and I am headed to Vance AFB. Others going to Laughlin or Columbus seem to have later EAD dates as late as June 2017, but that's not always the case. What is true is that the pilot training pipeline has been backed up for some time, so no matter the base you...

You do not pay for AS class while you are a GMC cadet (first two years), but once you are a POC you do pay for AS classes (last two years). LMU is pretty much a straight shot up the 405 which is convenient if you're coming from Irvine. If you go to USC I still suggest taking the 405, but you...

I am currently a crosstown student about to graduate going to Detachment 060 at USC and I wouldn't have had it any other way. The majority of cadets here are crosstown students who commute from all over the area. It has a smaller number of cadets but that means you have a better chance of...

I was in this boat. I had a crappy semester with below the 2.5 term GPA. I was allowed to attend FT and returned being told that I cannot contract until I get a 2.5 term GPA for this semester. AS300s who are in this category are in what's called "pursuing status", and remain so for their Fall...

Yes. So far, cadets who commission through AFROTC, with or without a scholarship, go into active duty. Last year, there were offers given to pilot selects who were FY15 to cross into AF Reserve units, but they were only offers.

I am not sure about how it affects the scholarship, but I experimented once way back as well and admitted it, and my detachment commander at the time waived it. As long as you don't ever do it again while enrolled and do not change your answer regarding the incident, I think you should be fine.

@huge_wannabe @Sled @45Golf I think @Tex232 got banned from the forums, but I am curious how he did too.

My story is the same here, non-select in the first board, got RPA in Fall of '15, then upgraded to Pilot just last month. My stats are mediocre compared to everyone's here, don't give up! PCSM - 63 (6 flight hours) AFOQT Nav - 22 AFOQT Pilot - 83 FT: Mid-third RSS: Mid-third PFA: 96.6 GPA...

Congrats to all who got a slot so far, and best of luck to those anxiously waiting!!

Not at all. I am a nonscholarship crosstowner in AFROTC, and most of my detachment (det) is made up of crosstown cadets. I do not mind commuting in So Cal traffic as much as others do, but I am saving a ton by going to a less expensive state school. Physical training should be hosted at other...

If you end up on the alternate list, there is a chance you will get a slot during your AS400 year if you're a 300 now. I didn't get a slot in Feb 2015 and ended up getting an RPA slot in fall, then HQ offered me a pilot slot a few weeks ago. If you want it bad enough, it can happen in a...

There is a cadet at my detachment who is in the AF Reserves and just started his second semester in AFROTC, he seems to be managing classes, reserve duty and ROTC pretty well. All I can say is that GMC cadets who have no military experience will look up to you as an example, while the POC...

Nope! I am a crosstown student and a majority of the cadets at detachment 060 (USC) are crosstowners, including the three rated selectees. I prefer going to a nearby state university to pay wayyyy less for tuition and I am okay with additional commuting. Just to reiterate, being a crosstowner...

Last year the results were released on Friday Feb 13 at my det, that week was when the results dropped nationwide. I wasn't so lucky in that board as I went unselected, but through a miracle I was picked up on the alternate list just days ago for pilot!
