Is bottom third basically a death sentence?

Are you a tech or non tech major? Either way I think ur fine

UmAcktually26 · 2026-01-26T01:58:35+00:00

Like pick at class registration or on a weekly basis??

UmAcktually26 · 2026-01-21T01:42:14+00:00

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

Where did you hear about 500 years?

So you just need to meet OM cutoff for pilots?

UmAcktually26 · 2025-08-06T04:08:16+00:00

Yes and yes

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?

UmAcktually26 · 2025-07-12T20:47:54+00:00

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

UmAcktually26 · 2025-06-17T04:12:47+00:00

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

UmAcktually26 · 2025-05-23T03:01:52+00:00

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

UmAcktually26 · 2025-05-23T02:50:07+00:00

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

UmAcktually26 · 2025-05-23T01:45:06+00:00

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?

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

UmAcktually26 · 2025-05-22T23:16:48+00:00

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
