My understanding (at least for Nursing) is that HSSP Nursing majors must compete for SFT as non-tech majors, but with a desirable AFSC (additional points?). While they may not need a 3.4+ CGPA (such as many non-tech applicants) to compete they will need at least a 3.0 - 3.1+ CGPA similar to the engineers (tech majors) competing.
In addition, Nursing majors are not guaranteed a Nursing AFSC. More competition:
"Premed, Nursing and Other Medical-Related Major If you are applying for one of these majors, you will compete for a nontechnical scholarship. Be advised that if you receive and activate a scholarship in one of these majors, you are not guaranteed that specialty upon commissioning. After you complete your freshman, sophomore or junior year, you must compete on the prehealth, nursing or biomedical science corps designation boards to receive the Air Force designator for that specialty. The designator guarantees you will enter that specialty upon commissioning. If you are not selected on one of these boards, you will retain your scholarship, but you will enter the Air Force as a line officer upon being "
This may be a stupid question (new on this forum obviously lol). I see that you said HSSP nursing majors are not guaranteed that when they commission. I'm currently a sophomore at my university for a bachelors in nursing. I'm considering joining AFROTC and I was told that it was 99% sure that I would commission as a nurse once I received my scholarship. Do the chances change if you accept a scholarship in college or is it the same as accepting it in high school with having to take a chance on your job field?
Thanks for your help!
I am betting the CoCs are burning up the emails to Maxwell today because as frustrated as you are, they are basically caught in the middle. Cadets on an edge, and all they can do/say is what little has been told to them.
Son just received an email from his Detach. Commander. It stated that Air Staff is meeting with commissioning sources to finalize numbers. Supposedly it will happen early next week but no guarantees it will be finalized next week.
Good luck to all...enjoy the final four this weekend!
Our Cadre told us that they were informed today that three Brig. Generals directly involved with PSP are scheduled for a meeting early next week and that Detachment Regions are expecting a response by Wednesday 10th. This is straight from our cadre, so I guess we look forward to that day for now, but who knows lol. I wonder if it'll actually happen this time, but id thought id share with everybody
