I have to fill out an SF86 form for my job. The problem is, I don't have anyone to cover the past 7 years or at least the information they are asking for. I'm filling the form out online and it won't let me submit unless EVERYTHING is filled out with no gaps or errors. I have people for the past...

I want to join, but the thought of bootcamp makes me question it. It scares me. My recruiter is talking about me enlisting this coming Monday and I don't know if I'm ready? I don't know how soon I'll be going to bootcamp, the later the better so I can better prepare myself. But what if I ship...

Just wanting to know what jobs have the best bonuses or benefits in general that are available to Air Force Guard.

I got an overall ASVAB score of 87. 84 in general, 90 in administration, 87 in electronic, 60 in mechanical. I also passed all my vision and physical tests. My depth perception did seem to be an issue, but still passable. But the jobs my recruiter sent me are still very limited and also require...

Does anyone know when the results for AFROTC will be out? My recruiter said that the board is still meeting but are projected to be done around April 14th. However, I did see someone said that "looks like the last board's result are out".

Hey, after looking through some of the forums and Reddits on Air Force vs. Navy, I wanted to come on here and make my own post. I recently got word of my Letter of Assurance to USAFA for the Class of 2029; however, I have recently been considering staying at my university and doing ROTC for...

I'm a Junior in high school and am interested in going to USMMA. I've learned that the academy gives the option to join any of the military branches to become a pilot although I'm curious to know if I would have to choose the engineering route over a deck one to do this. If so how is it handling...

My son will be in AF JROTC next year and plans/wants to stay in ROTC throughout college as well. His college of choice has Army ROTC, but he wants to join either AF or Navy once he has his bachelors. Is there any reason why that would not be possible?

Got my airforce interview scheduled for the AFROTC scholarship. However one thing I am concerned is that in the email it says that the interview will take 1.5 hours. Did anyone else receive their respective emails stating that too? Does it actually take up to 1.5 hours?

So I am currently in a 2 year college and have already finished my first year. I want to apply to the air force to become an officer, but I see that I would either need to have enough credits for OTS or have to be in a 4 year for ROTC. Do I have to go to another college to apply for ROTC? Please...

Forgive me is this has been asked and answered before. Was in AFROTC during freshman year. DoDMERB qualified. I dropped because I simply didn't want to pursue the Air Force any longer and Cadre recommended Army ROTC but I wasn't sure at the time. I am graduating soon and want to explore OCS for...

Former service academy grads, how important are memorizing your rates during PS? How often are you questioned, how are you questioned, and what does the punishment look like for not knowing them? Any other knowledge regarding rates would be great!

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...

When applying for an AFROTC Scholarship, I noticed how if your major was not a tech major, you would put “0GYY” or “General Studies” while all the tech majors had indentifiers making your major obvious. My question is if this still applies when going for the FT board or the rated board once...

Good Morning, I’m a former Chemistry lecturer turned aviator and I’m motivated to pursue my life-long desire to fly and serve with the USAF. Currently working toward PPL certificate and in my mid twenties. Unfortunately like many other individuals affected with peanut allergies, I’ve been...

Hello, Thank you for giving me your time to reading my forum and I really need an advice on which branch to pick. I am currently a freshmen in college and was planning to do AFROTC this semester but our school detachment cut some chunk of people due to high volume of applicants. I am...

I'm transferring into a DO position, first time in that roll, at a squadron at a new base. Anyone have advice? Thank you in advance!

Hello! I'm trying to decide between USAFA and USNA (a good problem to have, but an incredibly difficult decision) and wanted to get some experienced input on how close to the action I would be as a pilot in the Navy. And, well, what are my chances of being selected for a pilot slot? I'm leaning...

Hello all! I'm trying to decide between USAFA and USNA, and wanted to ask: how close to the action are you in the AF? Are there many exciting missions, or is it a lot of training and transport missions? I'd really appreciate some responses from both those with experience with heavies and...
