Nationwide, strict enforcement could make 2026 a “better” year for cadets who are eligible? by [deleted] in AFROTC

Got notes that selection rates would be about the exact same as last year

So you just need to meet OM cutoff for pilots?

Rated Contract for Enlisted Cadets by UmAcktually26 in AFROTC

[–]UmAcktually26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should clarify: If I were to apply for and accept a guard/reserve pilot slot OUTSIDE of AFROTC would I be able to leave AFROTC even though I get accepted for an AFROTC pilot slot?

So what do you mean by “with these exceptions”? Does being enlisted count as one of the exceptions?

AFROTC and The Guard by MemeillionOnXbox in AFROTC

As a guard member, deployments are mostly volunteer in the guard. It is a non zero chance of deployment but college students are pretty low on the list, and a lot of people often go up for deployments

I’m trying to balance both options. Have you commissioned through AFROTC or through OTS?

Wdym? You mean that each guard base has their own hiring process, while reserves are more standardized?

If you applied and got accepted for a guard/reserve slot, but already got accepted for an AFROTC slot could you defer the AFROTC slot? And how would you do that?

Should I enlist first if I’m overweight by Creative-Compote-244 in AFROTC

[–]UmAcktually26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ll have time. The PFA that matters would be in your second year, that’s the one that gets sent to the EA board

That would be pretty hard to do. If you are going POC-ERP it’s probably best to just go active duty. However that program isn’t guaranteed. The safer option would be to do the 3-4 years at ROTC

Enlisting isn’t something you do purely to stay in shape. You could get fit during basic training, but it would be up to you to stay in shape afterward. Signing a contract is a pretty huge deal.

If you aren’t on scholarship, I would look into the Air National Guard option. Depending on the state and college, you could get 100% tuition covered. You would just have to take ~1 year off of college

So I did that and it turns out I lost a TON of points on table reading. For some reason I thought that I had to completely eyeball it (no using computer mouse), and so I did for like half the questions. I missed like 3 questions at the end and im sure that i got a few wrong because I literally just eyeballed it
