AFROTC - EAs

Baseops is a great site for AFROTC, and the rumor mill churning over there is that there will only be 1800 spots for this yr.

Nick, probably the big reason your C300 class is smaller has to do with the fact that for Class of 12 they gave out far fewer IS scholarships than they did for 11. Sim to them giving out far fewer hs scholarships for 13 and 14. The trend appears to be 15 and 16 will be even smaller than 12-14.

The positive is that by reducing class sizes the % getting SFT will increase across the board.

If you use Class of 11 for AFSC rated you will notice that % getting rated was lower than 12. All because 12 is smaller than 11, while the AF needs for manpower has not changed.

The AF, and the military in general are like Fortune 500 companies...supply and demand dictates their personnel needs. Right now for 12 they are in balance, and it is 13 and 14 that they need to address.

Anyone who tells you that timing doesn't matter re: your career has never served one moment as an AD officer. You can be the best and the brightest, but if your timing is off, there is absolutely nothing you can do to rectify it.
