    ROTC vs OTS pilot slots

    If you really want to be an aviator go with ROTC. Roughly 40% of total slots go Annapolis and 40% go to ROTC. That leaves only 20% for OCS. For the USAF, 50% of slots go to the Academy, 30% ROTC, and 20% OTS. So OCS/OTS are kind of just like a "spigot" for remaining slots. Hope this helps!

    Enlisting First to Gain Respect

    This actually gives me two questions. Do officers in the Army Special Forces do the shooting? Or only enlisted? Also, does the Marine Corps have more Special Forces units?

    Extra Curricular Activities to get into a Service Academy

    I helped with a local race event, and I had to help check bib numbers and radio them in. In terms of mountaineering, everyone has to work together to reach the summit. There isn't a "leader/captain," but you must work together to safely traverse crevasse's and other risks.

    Extra Curricular Activities to get into a Service Academy

    Thanks for the response. I agree completely. All of the clubs/activities I have joined I have stuck with and have had the opportunity to lead the club activity. Would the USNA count Debate as a sport? We have tournaments, state, nationals.
