kevster,
How was ABM all she was qualified for?
Sitting height?
~It would not be an issue for rated if she met it. Flight Class 1 physical, same is true. 2 female cadets from UMDCP received waivers for sitting height for 2012 commissioning for UPT. I am not following. No offense, but please enlighten how she was only qualified for ABM. Was it the new scholarship offered by the AF? Take CSO or ABM scholarship it is guaranteed for AFSC, there is no option. If so, than this is not apples to apples, it is apples to oranges.
I do agree with you that a high CC ranking is important.
Not trying to be a beaaccch, but I think many are missing one key thing.
They are a 250. Not a 200. No offense 719, but you are a 250. It is something to place into the equation. They entered as a sophomore, not a freshman.
I am truly not trying to be mean, harsh or rude.
I am saying they have 1 yr in AFROTC prior to going to SFT. I am looking at their profile.
As a 300, he will have the following:
1. Freshman yr---no AFROTC
2. Soph yr.---- joined, got SFT. 1st yr in AFROTC
3. Jr yr. ---switched dets.
In the end of the day, what resonates with me is this:

but I think I would be better suited at a different college.
I don't want to come off as ungrateful, because my det has been awesome to me, but my school makes it very difficult to be the best cadet I can be.
The new det is OOS. It is a new school too. I can't wrap myself around the thought that the unkown is going to better than the known when you are up for AFSC boards.
You are going out of state, starting your life over again with no social circle.
We are giving opinions without finite details from the OP.
kevster, I respect you, but I think it is important to highlight, that their only option was ABM. Was it tied to the fact that they took the ABM AFROTC scholarship?
My other issue is they said they are contract as a 250.
~~~ If recollection serves me right. 250 is a cadet that is a sophomore in college, but 1st time AFROTC.
~~~~~ That would mean if they are contracted it would be in the last 6 months due to ICSP. Hence, shouldn't they have the paperwork on hand...no offense 719.
Flipside, 719 is going to SFT, and he would be contracted come fall after graduating from SFT.
~~~ Currently he is not contracted. He will not contract until he passes the PF in the fall.
Assumptions are being made, and we are only doing harm if we speculate regarding everything.
719 needs to tell us right now a few things.
1. Are you a 250 CONTRACTED cadet
2. Have they matriculated to the incoming school
3. Have you informed the outgoing det of your decision
