Okay, I first need to state VERY clearly I have no bone in this fight. DS is AFROTC scholarship class of 12.
I have endured as a parent not only scholarship, but SFT board, and now enduring the AFSC board; looking up in the sky to see where the shoe drops like AFROTC scholarships, but this time it is his career.
I only want this thread to go because I respect every branch and I think if you have AFROTC questions we should do it on an AFROTC thread.
Here's the deal:
MY OPINION, and opinion should be BOLD is any question regarding the 2/28 date should be answered this way:
Contact Maxwell
I know you want an answer, but NOBODY here works for the AF, let alone AFROTC!
The answers are opinions are anecdotal at best. Only Maxwell can give you the true answer.
Honestly, let's say I state, which I have, back in 08 they had until May to answer. I even link a link, which I have. Now because of the fiscal crisis the AF has re-worked the system. My info could have just cost your child a scholarship.
Clarkson is a great AROTC asset, and also and asset to this site. However, he is AROTC, not AFROTC.
The AF and Army have different parameters regarding scholarships.
Maxwell is the go to.
If your child is 17 you can talk to them. If they are 18, you are SOL.
The last thing I will state and something I try to drill in, but now I feel like I am
This path does not end with the scholarship. Your SFT will be another board like the scholarship. Your AFSC will be another.
Get that almighty Type 1, but pull a 2.6 gpa in engineering and you can see it all go BUH BYE!
Any AFROTC questions that I can answer from experience, I will be more than happy to do so.
Also, if you want to discuss AFROTC do it here. Respect your brethren. Let Army have their own thread to discuss their own ROTC issues.
