Has anyone out there in the forum ever tried to switch from tech to non-tech on an AFROTC scholarship? I'm considering asking to switch and would like to hear from some people with some first-hand experience on what I should/shouldn't do when it comes to how I present the idea to Cadre and how...

Hi y'all, I'm a C/4C in AFROTC, and apparently, as a contracted cadet, I have to do Ops Air Force (or some PDT) this summer. I was nominated for USAFA SOAR but didn't make the cut. Our cadre just let us know that there are openings for GMC to go to Expeditionary Survival & Evasion Training...

Hi Y'all, First off, sorry if this thread is kind of redundant; I know there's a lot of similar ones. I'm a second-semester Freshman in AFROTC, on scholarship, doing Computer Science (BS) as my major. Although I'm not good at math/science, I listed Comp. Sci. on my major preferences when I...

Hi Y'all! I am an AS100, Freshman AFROTC Cadet. The Cadet Wing Staff at my detachment has given us some pretty tight guidelines for picking a name for our flights (I'm in Alpha flight): the name needs to match our flight (i.e. start with an "A") and be the name of an inactive/historic Air Force...

Here are some stats that AFROTC HQ released for this year's HSSP results. I looked around to see if anyone else had posted and they hadn't, so I hope I'm not duplicating here...o_O High School Scholarship Program: - 5,581 submitted applications - 2,851 eligible applicants - 2,789 interviews...

Hi Everybody, Ok, I know I'll get maybe a couple of responses to this thread, but if you are planning to attend UH this fall and do Air Force ROTC at Detachment 175, reply and we can start a conversation. It looks like that's where I'm headed unless something changes, so if you're planning...

Is there anyway to check if I am potential pilot qualified on the DoDMERB site or USAFA/AFROTC sites? There are some other threads about this, and they say that if your status is "commission qualified" you are NOT PPQ. But they are a few years old, and things may have changed. My DODMERB...

A quick question for y'all: has anyone ever heard of an AFROTC scholarship being offered for whatever major they want? I.E. "You have received a Type 1 AFROTC scholarship for a major of your choice". I would assume it's EXTREMELY rare if it happens at all...

Hi All, OK, so I've been doing some research on the USAF FC1 Refraction requirements for eyesight. Here are my results from DODMERB: Right Eye: Sphere: -2.25 Cylinder: +0.50 Axis: 0.92 Left Eye: Sphere: -1.00 Cylinder: +0.75 Axis: 0.87 That might be Greek to some people...sorry...

Sorry, I've asked about this before... I just recently finished my AFROTC HSSP application (including the interview). I have a couple of weeks before the board will review my application, and I want to make sure that I have my desired majors listed in the best way possible. If I had my choice...

Hi Everyone, I'm a USAFA/AFROTC applicant hoping to get a slot to UPT (that's the plan anyway). Does anyone have any thoughts or knowledge about the FC1 Eye Exam? I know it's a ways out for me, but I'm trying to educate myself about improving/maintaining my vision now, so I can keep my eyes...

Hi y'all! I'm taking my Academy CFA on Thursday... does anyone have tips on how to prep? What to eat/drink? How to stretch or lightly work-out? Resting tips? I'm kinda' late to getting it done, and I want to do well on it. Thanks!

If I put General Studies, Comp. Sci, and Meteorology on my AFROTC app, will I still get "priority" since meteorology is on there, or will I be considered a "non-tech" applicant? Also, does anyone know if doing one of the "most needed" majors (i.e. Meteorology, Nuc. Physics, etc.) is a good idea...

Does anyone who's gone thru the AFROTC rated application process recently, or a flight surgeon (or anybody!) have any tips/words of wisdom on eyesight requirements? I have good eyesight except my right eye has a bit of astigmatism and is about 20/60 or so on a Snellen chart. Is that bad or okay...
