Hello to all, New member but have been active visitor for three plus years. I’m prior AD USN & USAF Reserve. DS is a high school junior and will be applying to Embry Riddle Daytona & AFROTC this summer. His goal/dream is to be a pilot in USAF AD and is currently working on PPL. DS is an A/B...

What do you think my chances are at getting the Type 1 scholarship this year? I'm a high school senior. First pick for major is general studies (specifically nutrition and dietetics or public health), second is biochemistry, third is biochemical engineering. 4.0 unweighted GPA, 4.39 weighted, 32...

Hello all, I am currently a sophomore in college considering AFROTC. Based on the scores listed for the Air Force PFT, I am confident I would be able to score in the 90-100 range on the assessment, and I feel my leadership skills are apt. My biggest concern is that I have a 3.12 GPA and am not a...

Just checked wings and DS was awarded a Type 1 (the only type available this year) 4-year scholarship for AFROTC in general studies! We are beyond excited as we knew picking general studies was a risk. We are also so surprised and excited to get the results so early and with enough time to...

Hello, I am starting AFROTC this year, I know that I had eczema on my medical record after the age of 12. When I'm in the process of getting a medical waiver do I need to send in all my medical records all the way back from when I was born? I'm asking because I am having issues getting some...

Hello, Would DoDMERB still oversee someone who has commissioned out of AFROTC into the inactive ready reserves (IRR) but not entered active duty (EAD) yet? I know someone considering a medication that, while approved for active duty use (even for flying personnel without any adverse side...

With the new cutback on HSSP scholarships in favor of ICSP scholarships, there are very few HSSP scholarships compared to what it used to be. I've heard numbers as low as only 500 HSSP scholarships for next year. If this is true and if we assume each Commander at each of the 145 detachments has...

If you have a Type-2 AFROTC scholarship but your tuition exceeds the $9000-per-semester scholarship, can you convert it to a Type-7 that covers full instate tuition instead? DS just got his fall tuition bill and the college raised tuition this year and the Type-2 no longer covers it in full...

I wanted to ask if it would be worth joining AFROTC. I am getting off of my small dosage of prozac in roughly a week. Last year I had to deal with some life issues and was prescribed the antidepressant for some anxiety. I was wondering what circumstances this would be waiverable in, if possible...

Hi all, just to preface, the purpose of this post is gathering your thoughts and opinions on my situation and what you would do if you were in my shoes and if you have seen similar experiences or have been through the same experience. This is not me asking what are my chances, this is purely an...

I was recently awarded a type 1 AFROTC scholarship and acceptance to USAFA pending on my DODMERB. I reported that i had a minor peanut allergy, and I am trying to go through the waiver process. I went to an allergist just to see how severe my allergies are and I have a “moderate/high” allergy to...

Hello, I was recently not selected for either an AROTC or AFROTC scholarship. However, I am still very interested in the programs and what they have to offer. I am in need of some guidance on how I should proceed at this point. I am currently a senior in high school who is graduating in about...

Hello, I am in AFROTC and will be competing in the rated board for a pilot slot this spring. I was put on MRS last semester for an ingrown toenail surgery. In early January I was released from MRS but unfortunately, the injury did not fully heal and I will be getting another surgery to get it...

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for stopping by my post. So currently I am attending AFROTC with my girlfriend and I am currently in AS200 but she is in AS100. We've been dating for 5 years and did long distance for a year so I would consider it is pretty serious?.. Because of that 1 year...

Looking for opinion and advice on non-typical situation. My daughter did some counceling and zoloft for about 4 months due to covid isolation limiting class / social life. As things opened up she was fine and the doctor considered the “mood disorder” resolved and took her off the medication...

(Repost because I can’t find the OP) Hello everyone, I’m an incoming freshman with an AFROTC J-100 scholarship at my college. I have achieved the General Ira Eaker award in CAP and 3 years of AFJROTC in HS (I was awarded full 4 year credit because I took numerous JROTC classes my Senior...

I was just reading that while being a cadet through AFROTC I'll be assigned an inactive enlisted rank. It is said that this is based upon varying levels of experience, like Civil Air Patrol or JROTC. I wasn't involved with but I am an Eagle Scout. So this brought up two questions, 1) is there a...
