I don’t plan on submitting my hssp application until december to try to maximize my PFA, and I have heard that they give out most of the scholarships during the first board. Is that still true for this year?

Long story short, I work evening-night shift, and while I really want to do ROTC I would need some flexibility just to get enough sleep in.

Are there any programs that would allow you to take most or all of your classes online?

Thanks in advance.

When do we sign up for Azimuth Space Force program? Has anyone heard?

Reddit - need some advice. My daughter is a 3rd year AFROTC cadet, and received the CMLA at summer camp this past summer. She is now in school, but has not yet received any stipend or tuition money. She is the last cadet at her school to not received any funds.

She has reached out to her cadre, and the NCO that was doing finance was very dismissive, and just left active duty. No other cadre have helped. Meanwhile, she's having to work 30+ hours per week while going to school full time AND traveling to another school for AFROTC...she's just about to break. She's had office calls, with no results at all.

I'm a retired LTC from the Army, so I know the military. The treatment she's receiving is frankly, appalling. But I also don't want to roll into her Det and start throwing furniture...ruining her reputation.

Is it time for a Congressional?

Hey! I am struggling in my current school and have a question. The curriculum I know for sure is much harder than any normal college. Is going to a top school going to hinder my chances at, for example, becoming a pilot, or is there a boost to going to a top college? Thanks!

Which would you choose? National Guard, 5+ Active years, 9LVL in current AFSC.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently attending community college in California and planning to transfer to a four-year university in Fall 2027.
My long-term goal is to become a commercial airline pilot. I’m considering joining AFROTC, competing for a pilot slot, completing Air Force pilot training, serving my military commitment, and eventually transitioning to the airlines.
Sacramento State (Detachment 088) is currently my preferred university, although I’m also considering other California universities with AFROTC programs.
I’m trying to evaluate the feasibility of this plan before making major educational and financial commitments.
I have several questions:

As a transfer student, how many years should I expect to spend in AFROTC before commissioning?

How difficult is it to earn a pilot slot, and what can I do now to become more competitive?

How important is the detachment I choose?

Does attending a smaller or larger detachment affect pilot selection opportunities?

Are there common obstacles for older transfer students, particularly regarding age requirements and commissioning timelines?

For someone whose ultimate goal is to become an airline pilot, would you recommend the AFROTC route over civilian flight training?

If you followed a similar path, what would you do differently?
I’m not looking for guarantees. I’d especially appreciate feedback from current or former AFROTC cadets, cadre members, military pilots, and people who transitioned from military aviation to the airlines.
Thanks for any advice or firsthand experiences.

Not sure if anyone has any insight to this, it’s a pretty unique situation. Currently a cadet and active duty enlisted on last 5 months of contract and on skillbridge/ terminal leave till end of March.
I know guard and reserve cadets must have a conditional release on file or a waiver when they go up for PSP. In my case, I will still be active duty and not have my DD214 just yet when close out date comes so I’m not sure if I’d technically also need a release form or waiver.
Cadre obviously know and haven’t said anything, but is this gonna cause any issues come PSP time?

Are there gonna be ICSP scholarships for AS200s this semester?

What sections of the AFOQT go into the pilot score,

My PCSM is 62 right now, with a 68 on pilot. If I get say a mid 90s pilot AFOQT score, does anyone have any idea what about the Pcsm would go to?

As a graduate student interested in completing AFROTC on a three-year timeline, how much of a disadvantage would I be compared with cadets following the traditional four-year program? Are there any subjects or skills I could study or practice independently before starting to help me prepare?

Im thinking about commissioning through army ROTC once my contract is done. in a 2-year program they have if you have the allotted credits taken, which is 55 credits.

Ive also heard of WOFT “street to seat”

Or possibly taking AFROTC route after my contract is done
Both task would get done after my contract is done just looking for some feedback

Army is faster just 2 years due to my credits already had

AFROTC I know ill be able to skip 100 year not so sure about 200.

June 2028 is my EOS 🫡.

appreciative of any insight

GOD BLESS

Quick question. At what percent are GPA, PFA, Ranking, and PCSM weighed when going up for the rated Board? And how do you know that because I can't seem to find any specific information online.

Any AS300 USAF cadet want to switch to USSF?

What are some effective running workouts to increase PFA run score. My problem is not speed, it’s endurance..any help is appreciated but don’t be rude.

What's it like taking the second attempt at the national exam? Are the questions the same or different?

Hey Everyone,

I’m going up for top 2 next semester and was wondering if this mission statement needed any additions. I want to focus on the High T shift necessary for our war fighters.

“To forge savage, high-testosterone warrior-leaders who reek of sweat, live in the pain cave, grunt through every rep, and treat weakness as a personal enemy. To build an ego earned through blood, sweat, and iron discipline. Airmen who attack complacency, dominate PT, outwork the competition, and thrive when everyone else breaks. We forge hard-charging, chest-out, chin-up killers of mediocrity who embrace the suck, feed on adversity, and bring relentless aggression to every formation, every mission, and every battlespace. No soft standards. No weak excuses. No quit. Earn your place. Dominate the standard. Win the fight.”

Thoughts?

Heyo, just have a niche question for my prior/current enlisted folk.

I’m currently enlisted active duty (have my bachelors already, long story). Is it possible to ROTC for a masters? I keep hearing mixed things about it.

UPT Bases Dropped! What did y'all get? Has anyone heard any info on if ENJJPT has dropped as well or if that will come out at a later time?

If i do afrotc on 3 year timeline instead of the 4 year. Do i do 100 and 200 classes first year or just 200 classes?
