Hi all this is probably not the first time you’ve seen me on this side of the forum. I’m currently in afrotc and I honestly believe I’m about to DQed. I have pretty significant arthritis in my shoulder. No pain or meds, but the X-rays aren’t pretty. I was just curious if I got this issue...

Hi all, I know this may not be the right area for this, but I just wanted to put It here anyway since this forum sees a lot of activity. So I'm currently a sophomore enrolled in AFROTC and I have to decide within the next few weeks (for my personal reasons) whether I want to stick with the...

Good morning everyone, Im currently a 200 in AFROTC and I have a question for all those enrolled in AFROTC or have experience with the topic. I joined AFROTC to try and achieve my goal of becoming a military pilot but as we all know sometimes the Air Force will put you wherever they want to...

Hi all, I’m in a bit of a dilemma right now and I could use some help. I’m currently an AS200 in AFROTC but I am still debating on if I would like to stay. I know this has been said a million times, but my main goal is to fly and I genuinely think I wouldn’t enjoy doing anything else that rotc...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if secfo officers can become ravens or Dagres. Also, is secfo trying any similar to infantry training? Just curious-thanks!

If anyone out there is a current pilot in the active AF or guard, would you be willing to answer a few questions? I’m available to DM here or I can drop my number. Thanks !

Hey everyone, I need some help here. I’m a cadet but I’m having conflicting views on whether or not I should stay in Afrotc or go guard route for a pilot slot. A little background: Im an upcoming AS200 with 3.0 gpa in criminal justice. I’m a top third cadet (as of spring semester). I have yet...

Quick question for anyone who has had similar experiences with DoDmerb 1) I have had a waiver approved for afrotc beginning of my AS100 year, and as you all know this will expire before I contract. Are the chances of my waiver getting approved again high? The waiver was for a shoulder surgery...

Hey there kind SA forum folks, I was just wondering if anyone experienced in the field out there could give me any insight on wether or not you could fly for the Air Force in the civilian world, or If any civilian flying career could resemble mil flying.

First of all, thank you Mr. Mullen for reading this, I posted it here just so I can get some opinions from other cadets in my scenario. Quick backstory: I am a reapplicant who was med dq’ed last year. USAFA didn’t request a waiver from me, so that was the end of that. But this year, Rotc has...

I know this should be in the Dodmerb thread but I was looking for hopefully some people with experience. Im DQ’d because of a shoulder surgery and shoulder dislocation. I’ve been requested to apply for a waiver by rotc. Let me describe the severity of my injury. It’s really not as bad as it...

I have taken my exam last year for USAFA and was DQ due to shoulder surgery. I was not requested a waiver due to not being competitive. I am in AFROTC now and have been requested for a waiver. Can anyone tell me if shoulder surgery is a common waiver? I had the surgery 3 years ago and have made...

I am a college reapplicant and I have scheduled every class (if possible) that was mentioned on the TWE. I am also involved in rotc. I may have to drop chem, even though it was suggested because I’m not doing so well in it. Should I rough it out and accept an average grade or drop it maybe...

I just went to the ER for a big bite turned bad...Am I ok? This is the first time I’ve ever been to the ER

I was just wondering when I should open the application for 2025. This will be me second app, as I will be a college freshmen this year. I’m worried that if I open it now, it will close in November, and that will not be enough time to get first semester grades and other stuff in. Any suggestions?

Ok Academy forums wizards, back at it again with college schedule issues. Suggested classes on TWE were calc, calc 2, English, physics, chem, and social science. Unfortunately for me, I have been placed into trig for this upcoming semester, and have physics and calc1 scheduled for spring. Do you...

So on the TWE it says to enroll in mirror USAFA classes, which I did, but I can only get calc 1 and not calc 2. Would this be a major issue in reapplying? Also, I planned on working on my PPL as well, but my flight school is backed up by 80 people due to corona. Would this have an effect on my app?

So I got a TWE this year, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on when to reapply. My plan was to attend penn state for a year while devoting a lot of time to grades of course, enrolling in ROTC, and getting a ppl. I was going to reapply next summer (2021) and hopefully start at...

If I got a TWE this year, do you think I should reapply early next school year, or wait until next summer. My original plan was to apply next summer so I had enough time to prove myself in college, ROTC, and other areas. Just curious to hear some input.

Hello everybody, maybe I’m being stupid, or just misinterpreting information here. My birthday is August 2001, and I applied this past year and got TWE. If I wait one year and apply again summer of 2021, I will be 19, so that means the following year assuming I get in, I will be 20 by July of my...
