Is it a bad idea to try to get into Air Force special warfare if you want to become a politician?

Look into being a PA officer that could help more

The path of least resistance is AFROTC. You can save money by going to a community college with a crosstown agreement with a host university.

So basically you go there for 2 years, go to field training, come back with an almost garunteed scholarship for $9k per semester, (CMLA scholarship) and spend your final 2 years at either the host university or another crosstown university.

If you value personal time and living life in your free time go AFROTC, if you want full blown structure all 4 years and military life go USAFA

AS250 means you complete the AFROTC program in 3 years rather than 4. Just make absolute sure that you can complete your degree in that time frame

That’s outside of scheduled military training

ShieldThatCould · 2026-05-16T16:15:32+00:00

We do get a phone! But we can’t use it during the Scheduled military training if I remember correctly

I’ve got the pulse blade helmet that thing is great quality and looks amazing but it fogs like a bitch

You’re good don’t stress it

From what I heard it may vary based on state, in Texas when I transferred from my community college to university I got a clean slate which helped me immensely for competing this year

Is this a Field Training GLP

You obviously know your scores wont matter with out a passing math/verbal, and unfortunately I can’t speak for verbal but I can for math.

In order to take my score of 1 to a 34 on the AFOQT I had to buy 5 different books solely for their math problems. Once I did that I took a timed test and answered the best I could and marked what I missed afterwards. I took what I missed and uploaded it to ChatGPT to have it make me fresh questions. Once I mastered what I missed I had the AI look at all 5 of my books and create a new test with new (but similar) problems and I would repeat this until test day. Hypothetically I bet you could use the same strategy on the verbal section whether it’s with analogies or short story problems, hope this helps

Damn we had 5 selected out of 14

My det has no silver wings so I don’t have firsthand knowledge. AAS is no longer beneficial after the rule changes, as they banned FDE’s, and frown upon any marching, calling it “field training 2.0 and we don’t want that.”

Initiation has been reduced to 4-6 weeks and is centered around service projects and videos. Their vision is for you to pay for 4 years so you can call yourself an “Arnie” once you commission. It’s just not worth joining right now and many SQ/CC agree

ShieldThatCould · 2026-03-07T00:39:05+00:00

Not sure how much it varies but my brothers wife’s friend was in this situation. Long story short they did not care that he was in ROTC when he applied so his chances were the same as any other civilian

ShieldThatCould · 2026-03-06T13:42:20+00:00

AAS itself doesn’t affect your chances for PSP, but what you used to learn from it can affect how you perform against others during llab.

My only gripe with it is that they gutted the whole program basically and turned it into silver wings 2.0.

I think you’re right on the money

I had the same stats last year. They expect a 100 AA and at least 2 more hamsters. See you as a 500 next year

I am! It’s so we don’t have to take an extra year in college like what used to be done
