air force rotc

Hello everyone, My daughter is an Air Force ROTC cadet and has received an AMS request from DoDMERB. The case manager asked her to contact the CIV Team to clarify the results the optometrist entered in Box 17 (Distant Vision), where "HM" (Hand Motion) was recorded — meaning her uncorrected...

I just finished my HSSP interview at Yale's AFROTC detachment. It went very well, I think that I have a good shot at earning the type 1. It was very conversational, talked about a lot of non-military things like music, movies, and running (he ran the same track events that I do). He commented a...

Hey Everyone, I am a decently fit guy and I have trained a bit over the last few months (nothing crazy, but a few sets of push-ups and sit-ups each day and runs periodically). I have been working specifically to improve on the Air Force ROTC Physical Fitness Assessment. What is a standard or...

Hey Everyone, I want to study economics (a non-technical major); however, I have been informed at only about 10% of scholarship students are allowed to study non-technical non-foreign language majors. One suggestion I received was to study Applied Math instead of Economics because they are very...

Hey Everyone, I am a rising senior, and I plan to apply for an AFROTC scholarship this fall. I want to study economics, but the Air Force does not recognize it as a technical major. Economics is still very heavy in math, especially calculus, so it feels technical-adjacent to me, where it isn't...

I am interested in doing ROTC, but I am concerned about my "mild" red-green color blindness. My diagnosis of "mild" red-green color blindess came from an online test, not an official examination. My first choice would be Navy, but I am willing to do ROTC for any branch of the military. I have...

I'm currently a sophomore in high school interested in becoming a PA. I'm thinking about doing ROTC to pay for schooling and for job opportunities, but I'm not sure how the timeline works out. I plan on doing Running Start, so would I immediately start ROTC in my junior year of high school...

Hi, I am a first-generation kid of immigrant parents who work in technology so I don't really have a military background or really know anyone who I can ask for help. I am currently a senior in high school and was recently admitted to my dream school, Georgetown University's Walsh School of...

Has anyone out there in the forum ever tried to switch from tech to non-tech on an AFROTC scholarship? I'm considering asking to switch and would like to hear from some people with some first-hand experience on what I should/shouldn't do when it comes to how I present the idea to Cadre and how...

I just received the following scores on my AFOQT Pilot- 48 Nav - 50 Acad Apt -55 Verb - 71 Quantitative - 43 Based on my AFOQT score alone, how competitive do you think I would be for Pilot? What about CSO? Should I consider a retake to improve my scores? I fear that since my scores are all...

Greetings everyone, I have been a cadet basically for a few weeks. I'm from Puerto Rico and the program go started again last week after the hurricane. I was in this situation and I haven't found information in official manuals or handbooks. So before asking my flight commander about it I would...

Hello, I applied and received an Air Force type 7 scholarship. A history on me is that I had Ewing's Sarcoma, a type of bone cancer. The cancer was found as a bump on my thigh in May 2015. I had surgery to take it out, and then an other surgery to take out more of my thigh shortly after it was...

Just a thread for cadets to post information that they have been told about LEAD.

My goal is to become a pilot, I am dead set on that. But which route would be "better" or more guaranteed? I got wait listed at the USCGA, but hoping I eventually get accepted, my choices then would be there or joining the Air Force ROTC at the University of Central Florida (UCF). Which school...
