Kinnem, he is on a 3 yr track. He would commission @21. Basically, it would be akin to any college kid that is a walk on as a sophomore, aka why he started as a 250. 250's basically combine freshmen/sophomore AFROTC together.@bgrant I believe, because of the number of credit hours the OP had went entering the program he is on a 2 year AFROTC track. I think their issue is that there hasn't be enough opportunities for leadership billets in the time frame. Of course if that's the case then one has to ask why they have a 2 year program. I don't think they're saying the OP himself is immature but that his leadership skills haven't had an opportunity to mature, at least in a way that they can see it. A lot of surmise on my part but I'd bet important body parts on that.
I am not sure I agree that he hasn't had enough leadership. Sorry @Airman101. Yes, he was a walk on as a 250, so probably that fall semester he was given a job like being in charge of a special project bc they didn't expect him. Most fall AS200 jobs are assigned in the spring of their 100 yr. However, by spring semester they would have given him a leadership position, maybe something like the PT flight instructor. Once he returned from SFT as a POC (300) they would have given him a POC position.
~ Our DS's det is considered large by HQ AFROTC with about 250 cadets. However, in his unit, their commissioning class is @30 cadets, 60-70 as POCs. and the bulk are 100/200/250/500. IOWS, POCs, even as a 300 had leadership positions with many cadets reporting to them. The star cadets were being lined up this time of the yr for things like CVWC, CWC, etc.
I didn’t have a leadership position in my 250 year.
