This year, the AF will be selecting 18 Developmental Engineers in Aeronautics and 13 Developmental Engineers in Astronautics from ALL graduating cadets (AFA and ROTC)
The AFSC for Developmental Engineer is actually 62 (61 is the Scientist field).
I just want to make sure the leap I'm thinking is right so bear with me and my cluelessness.
The way I understand rated pilot slots to work is that so many go to the AFA and so many go to AFROTC. The way this reads to me is that Developmental Engineers slots are a pool and all can go to AFA or AFROTC if that's what the AF wanted to do.
Like I said I was just curios if the two career field are handled differently in this way and if so what other career fields are like this.
