I recently got accepted into USNA, and I have a very hard decision to make as I am currently an AFROTC Type 1 at USC. When I think about the decision, I am trying to focus more on the long term - so do I want to serve in the Air Force or the Navy? As of right now, I am pretty sure I want to fly...

Hi all, I have a question regarding principal nominations. For my nomination application, I ranked USAFA as my first choice and USNA as second. I recently got a call pre-interview from the office, letting me know that I was currently ranked for a principal nom for USNA, and second for USAFA...

I am in the process of setting up my afrotc scholarship, however, my detachment has let me know they are unable to access my DoDMERB. I completed it for USAFA and had it cleared a couple of months ago, but now when I log into my DoDMERB portal beside USAFA the status says "withdrawn". Beside...

I want to open my candidate kit at a later date since I will be a re-applicant and I want to include my first semester of university for grades, resume, essays, etc. Does anyone know what date I would have to open the kit by to get the Jan 31 deadline? Thank you.

I'm not sure where the correct place to post about this would be so please feel free to move it elsewhere, but I need some advice on deciding between schools. I was fortunate enough to receive acceptance into USC, which I was not expecting. I am now conflicted between ERAU Prescott vs USC. I...

I just received my midterm grades for my first semester of senior year, am I able to submit them to USAFA? I'm proud of the marks I received so they definitely would not hurt my application, I'm just unsure if admissions would even consider them.

Hi everyone, I am considering erau, and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on their afrotc detachment. I know it is pretty large, so I am worried about leadership opportunities, but otherwise, it looks great. Additionally, I would want to apply to usafa after my first year there, so I am...

When I heard about usafa this year, I knew it was the school for me. Since then I have been working hard on my application, and finally, I have gotten to the point where I am only missing a checkmark for my nomination. Living outside of the US, the VP nom is my last shot. I have above avg...

Hey everyone, just had my afrotc scholarship interview, and my interviewer said I can change my top 5 schools until right before the next board meets. The only thing is I can't find any information on when this would be, does anyone know?

Hey everyone, so I have my AFROTC scholarship interview this week, wondering if anyone had any tips/questions I should definitely expect?

So I've qualified for the afrotc scholarship, and now I'm just waiting to hear back about an interview date, but I wanted to know the significance/importance of ranking the top 5 schools. Does it matter which schools you put there? Do they have to be schools you have a decent shot at getting...

I assume my medical won't get reviewed for a while, so I was wondering if USAFA reviews applications even if certain parts arent in, such as the medical or a nomination. I know they would not give appointments unless these boxes are checked, but could they give LOAs/anything else?

Regarding deadlines, I just wanted to double-check the ALO interview deadline. Is it 2 weeks after the initial application is submitted, or can the ALO interviewer submit it later down the line? I know the medical and nomination can pass the 2 weeks, just unsure about this item.

For this PT test, does anyone know where I could find the avgs/mins/maxs for each event (pushups, situps, 1.5 mile) as I can't seem to find it. I did 32 pushups, 47 situps, and 12:28 1.5mile run. Are these good scores, should I submit or retake them? (I'm a female)

I have a question about my CFA. So I recently did my practice run-through (2 days ago) with my coach and got a slightly below avg score. I did good on the first 3 events, but poorly on sit-ups and pushups, and the run could have been a lot better. I had worked out the day before so I was sore...

I was wondering if anyone knew what the flexed arm hang max score is. I have seen many different answers and its between 31s and 39s. I want to know because if its only 31s I will stop the event at this point so I can save a bit of extra energy, if not, of course push through to 39s. If anyone...

If anyone could offer input on my situation, please let me know what you think. So I have my ALO int tmr on zoom, but I have just got a really bad cold where I need to cough or sniffle every couple of minutes. I can still think straight and my voice is still somewhat normal, so should I still...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share a CFA strategy I've been using to train, as I've found it very helpful! Maybe this is common knowledge, but I'll still share it anyway. So let's say you're lacking in your pushups, and want to improve to the number of 50 (I'm female, so this would be abv avg)...

I am supposed to start Accutane this week, but I just realized it might impact my DoDMERB medical, which should be scheduled in the next month or two. Would this be something disqualifying, and should I hold off on the medication, or does it not matter?

For this section of the candidate kit, how much are they looking for candidates to write in the "Is there any additional information you would like us to know" slot. Are we meant to write a lengthy paragraph about how we created an impact in the position, etc, or just a short sentence or two?
