afrotc

Hello! I might try to apply for both the Air Force and Navy ROTC high school scholarships. If I do this, should I apply for both at the same time?

Hi, As many of you know, lots of engineering majors require you to complete a civilian internship as part of the course. My question is, can I do both AFROTC (possibly on scholarship) and an internship in my junior year of college? (For example, a degree in Manufacturing Engineering requires a...

Hello! This is my first post on this forum, I have been reading a lot of the previous posts and thought I would start my own. Any replies, advice, and/or constructive criticism would be much appreciate. I have just completed the AROTC application and interview this coming week, I also plan on...

Woohoo! I just received notice from HQ AFROTC that I have been offered a Type 1 AFROTC scholarship!! I am so excited and want to thank all of you guys and gals on SAF who answered my questions and provided some incredible advice on the process.

SAT: 1390 (720 Reading, 670 Math) GPA: 3.93 unweighted AP Classes: By Junior year: 3 AP classes. If senior year counts (I don't think it does?) then make it 5 AP and 2 dual enrollment classes Leadership/Extracurricular: Pretty much nothing. This has been a major source of stress for me. My...

My detachment has gotten word that headquarters is reducing the amount of cadets they are sending this upcoming summer to field training. Has anyone else heard this?

Hello, So, I applied for AFROTC and got disqualified because of SAT scores. However, I am not quitting so I am re-applying again for Spring 2020. So, I have a little problem. I am about 4 feet and 11 inches tall and I weigh 85.5 pounds. I would love to meet the requirements for AFROTC. Are...

My AFJROTC SASI told me that because I will be in JROTC for 3 years by the time I graduate, I will be awarded an AFJROTC Certificate of Completion. This apparently validates two semesters of AS in ROTC. If I receive a 4-yr AFROTC scholarship, will I still be allowed to validate the two semesters...

Daughter is in AFROTC in freshman year of college. Was in JROTC in HS. Has now been asked to do DODMERB. Any ideas why? Should she discuss this with instructors?

The ICSP was suspended last spring because of lack of funds. Does anybody have any information if this scholarship will be reinstated for the fall semester. I have tried to get a hold of detachment 157 at ERAU but no luck. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I have never participated in a varsity sport and my only physical extracurricular is martial arts. I originally did Krav Maga for a couple years and now am in my second year of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I am entering my senior year of high school and will be applying for ROTC scholarships this year...

So, first and foremost, Hello to all who will be reading this post. This post is pretty much about my story and thoughts on what anyone thinks. To start, I must remind you all that nobody is perfect and we all have made decisions that we are not proud of, but to contradict that statement, I do...

Hello all! I am a college freshman that just finished up my first year and yesterday I received word that I was selected for a type 1 AFROTC CICS (commanders in-college scholarship). I had a meeting with my detachment's NCO's but I didn't get all of my questions answered because they weren't...

Hello everyone! I’m an incoming freshman at RPI doing AFROTC, and I was wondering if anyone knew how exactly students selected to continue in AFROTC would be able to do field training during their sophomore year summer, as well as the newly mandated Arch program. I understand that some...

In the spirit of “you don’t know, what you don’t know”, is there any reason to put a deposit down for a plan b, which is a state university with a type 7 AFROTC scholarship? My DS has been accepted at USAFA and cleared by DoDMERB. Just not sure if there are anymore “hurdles” to jump but also...

Hi, right now I am a senior in high school, and unfortunately I wasn't chosen to receive either the nrotc or afrotc 4 year scholarship, but I still want to do one of them in college. At this point I am still on the fence about which branch to choose, they both appeal to me for different reasons...

I've recently received my form 53 on which I specify my desired AFSCs and locations (top 6 of both). I'm an electrical engineering student (3.5 GPA) in my junior year. I don't want be doing research at Wright-Patt, which is what I hear is pretty common. My ideal situation is to be stationed...

Hi, I plan on doing ROTC and really have my heart set on fighters, so I'm wondering if NROTC is a better choice to ensure a fighter slot because of the limited number of heavies the navy has? My understanding after talking with a family friend was that doing AFROTC will increase my chances of...

I recieved a type 1 AFROTC scholarship for starting at my dream school this fall. Life is great. Except... I have this bucket list trip idea to take a week(s) long adventure (ADV), offroad, dualsport, camping small motorcycle adventure through a part of the Trans America Trail (not alone) early...

My DS is a freshman on a Type 1 scholarship at an Ivy. He is majoring in Mechanical Engineering and is happy to do so, but would like to double major in Russian (another AFROTC desired major). He is being told by his unit that a BS in Mech E is not sufficient; he must get the ABET Certified...
