AFROTC 2015 Enrollment Allocations

Goatrope,

Congrats to your DS. His stats are pretty amazing.

Sled,

I know it has been for years 3.3/3.4 for non tech, I was curious because on here2 posters that are non tech are way off the avg from years past. I know that this site is very small, and you can only take it from an anecdotal perspective. However if you look at it for those two there will have to be two cadets at 3.9+
~ No flaming, yes I know that this is not necessarily true, it might actually mean that for every 10 cadets with a 3.5 that 1 with 2.9 will give you the avg cgpa of 3.4

I am happy for all of you that were selected, but just want to make sure that academically you need to keep striving for even higher grades since for either the rated or nonrated board your OML will be determined in part based on your cgpa. Can't recall if it is 15 or 20%.

Also remember that your SFT ranking will be part of that score too.from here on out it basically becomes a pile on. Think of it like building a house. Your AFOQT, SFT rank, cgpa, PFT and CoC rank all are taken into consideration when it comes to your AFSC board. For rated, they take the AFOQT and the TBAS to create your PCSM (Pilot Candidate Selection Method) score. The PCSM is scored 1-99 and if you want to go to ENJJPT, if I recall correctly they will then look at the PCSM to determine if you will be selected.
~ Hence, like I stated, it keeps piling on from here on out. IOWS no sitting pon your laurels just because you were selected for SFT.

I see what you're saying. I know EAs are just one of the many hurdles we have to make it over. The thing is right now it is the biggest hurdle to many cadets. I don't think anyone will be slacking just because they were selected.
 
Just keeping working hard is anyone can ask for. Getting to FT last summer with the crazy stats it had (55% acceptance I believe around there) and receiving a non-rated, non-tech EA (which was a 17% acceptance rate) was a huge hurdle for me. Now I'm waiting until next year to go up to the rated boards due to me commissioning in FY17. Only things I have control over now is improving my PFA and GPA.

The reason my GPA was so low is because for the first year I was sitting in major that was killing my GPA, but I was too stubborn to switch majors until Fall of last semester. However, as of now I've made one full 4.0 term in my new major and tacked on a couple more 4.0s from our half-semester courses, so I'm sitting above a 3.0 now. With that, I'll be where I need to be by the time the board meets.

However, I am definitely going to be ramping up my game for these last couple months before FT!
 
So true William. That was my true point, however, stated poorly.

As hard as this board was for everyone regarding worrying and waiting the next board and those after that (ADAF promotion) will make you look back at this one as a cakewalk. The next will be life changing since it will be your career. Hence, my point of pushing hard from here on out, especially if the AFSC is highly demanded....Pilot for rated and Intel for nonrated quickly comes to mind.

Think about it, 85% were selected, and if 3.3 is the national average for nontech, what do you think it will be for the top picks AFSC?
~ Not saying all dreams are dashed to get the top sought after AFSCSs, but as with everything, the higher your cgpa and AFOQT, plus a high standing out of SFT will help.

Not to divert this thread, but William, if that is your real name ask the mods to let you change it. Just to put some reality out there why, a and not trying to do any fear mongering, there are 100 military members due to social media now on ISISs hit list. Small number for sure, but it drives home the point why you should avoid at all costs placing personal info out there whenever possible.
 
DS just found out he got an EA. 20 out of 24 in his Det. got EA's this year.
He was AS500, encouraged to try that by his Cadre last year.
Stats (as I know them)
CGPA 2.8
Tech / Rated
PFA: 100
AFOQT: Pilot 93%
CC Rank: Top 1/3

Also has had his PPL since his 17th birthday.
To those who did not get an EA this year, if you really want it, commit yourself and try as hard as you can. You'll have nothing to regret if you give it your best shot.
To those who got EA's this year, huge congratulations, keep up the hard work.
To all, Best Wishes.
 
Sled,

I get where you are coming from. Just saying for candidates, especially those that want to go rated, academically time is running out before the next board.

Rated will meet a year from now for the current 200 cadet.
 
I'm got a rated slot and one of the things that I am concerned about is the depth perception test. I passed the eye exam for DODMERB, but their depth perception test wasn't the 5 circles depth perception test that the AF uses. The depth perception test was a 3d glasses type test. Does anyone know if you still do the 5 circles depth perception test during the flight physical after you get picked up for pilot? Sorry, I don't know what the test is called, but its the standard depth perception test that the AF uses where you look into an equipment and have to point out which circle pops out. I pass every single depth perception test with ease, except for this one. The doctor says that he thinks that I am having a hard time because of the way I am approaching the test.

Totally understand, I've been waiting on a reply regarding this. I had a old profile on here but forgot the username/password and just figured to create a new one. Worse comes to worse, I'll just delete this one and create a new one.

You probably want to post this on DoDMERB or maybe even pm Hornetguy. Hornetguy has experience with color deficiency issues. I believe his signature has a link to this issue. Homewith4 might also be able to help, her DS passed the DoDMERB, but failed the FC1 at WPAFB, hence she might know for sure what exam they use.

I will tell you that when they send you to WPAFB for the FC1 it is a 3 day TDY. The exams are very in depth, including everythring from an EKG to dental (wisdom teeth). It is nothing like the DoDMERB you did for your scholarship or SFT. I recall for DS it was 2 full days of physicals, finishing up with what one might call the DoDMERB exam, but the doc is a flight surgeon.

If you bust it, they may try to move forward with a waiver. The best you can do is start the investigation process like you have, and hornetguy really is your go to poster when it comes to this issue impo.

They check depth perception a few different ways. First you do it on the card (3d) with the circles. They can also project letters and numbers up on the wall and some pop out. They are not there to fail you, if you struggle with that test you can request a different type of test for depth, they will do everything they can if you truly do not have deficiencies. They already paid for you to go there.

That's perfect! I am able to pass all those test you list with no issues. It's that one where they have the circles in a line in the machine that gives me problems.

I'm very familiar with af vision test because I am prior e active duty and was on flying status. I just wasn't sure if they did it differently wright pat.

Thank you! And thank you Pima!
 
100% EA selection at Det. 290, 19/19. Big difference from the blood bath of last year, I guess timing is everything.
 
All:

Are EA's released nationaly or by region?

DS was on spring break last week ans was expecting en email to schedule an office call sometime earlt this week. Nothing so far and I dont want to be that parent that asks him so we are just waiting anxiously for the call.

They are released nationally.

If I am right the TBAS is not like the AFOQT where they don't publish study guides for the exam. Not sure, but for some reason that sticks in my mind (info from a different forum). If you don't have any flight hours yet, I would try to get at least a few under your belt because even as little as 6 hours can bump up your score. Additionally your SFT ranking will be part of your OML for the rated board.

Getting flight hours is the the same advice I keep getting from the POC who have pilot slots, so I'll definitely be doing some flying this summer. Looks like I'll have to get a part-time summer job though to pay for it, but it'll be worth it!
