r/AFROTC

Please don’t tell me I gotta do a lot of bs marching around in formation.

No1 reason why I stopped civil air patrol

I’m transferring to a university this fall as a sophomore and I think I’m going to join ROTC. I called the ROTC office of my school, and they said that I should extend my degree by a year so I could do all 4 years of ROTC.

I was told that I could do it in 3 years but that they don’t recommend it. I was told that it’ll be too competitive and I’ll probably end up failing.

Is there anyone here who started as a sophomore instead of a freshman, if so can you tell me your experience, and if it is too overwhelming? I think I have enough grit to get through the program, this conversation I had with the instructor just put some doubts into my head.

I’m also going to be a nursing major, and he said that the AirForce is in need of nurses so they’ll do everything they can to help me through.

Assuming I fully complete all 4 years.

I know I’ve hit a new low when I start refreshing Reddit to see if there’s updates 😂😂😂

Do you think they’ll implement the new PT standards for the new school year and include Waist to height component for points?

Not really gonna be what you wanna hear, but it’s not necessarily the worst thing either. We just got word from HQ that AFSC results are delayed. There’s no confirmed update on a release date and everyone’s pretty much just on standby at this time. Basically, it’s just on hold. How I’m interpreting that: hopefully we’ll know sooner rather than later but in reality it could be whenever. Stay strong kiddos.

Im hearing that it all depends on the defense budget FY27. CC also said that their isn’t an ETA.

Are we cooked? AFSC in fall?

SW region commander was at our det last week. Informed 300s and cadre of a possible Friday release. Obviously could be subject to change and no guarantee, but thought that was a reasonably reliable source. Do with that what you will.

Might be a stupid question, but why don’t contracted cadets get to go on tricare? I know it’s stupid, but I’m seriously asking. My cadre make us get doctors notes. I’m getting fucked over by urgent care. Charged over 500 dollars for a 10 minute flu test??? This is why I can’t get medical help…

Per AFPC folks we now find out in 3 weeks

For USSF cadets at Field Training (BEFORE RECEIVING DELTAS), do we wear the spice brown AFROTC patch or the colored AFROTC patch with our Blue Nametape/USSF Blue Tape and colored flag left shoulder.

Hey guys, I just found out I’m the #1 alternate for Aim High ODT (11 primary spots and 8 alternates, with the possibility of alternates being pulled forward as primaries if needed by Aim High).

I’m curious if anyone has insight on my odds—obviously it’s just a best guess, but I’m really hoping I get pulled forward.

They aren’t out yet

I am a 100. Something I have noticed is that the people who made friends the first month made super tight cliques and it’s almost impossible to get into a friend group after they have been established.

I don’t feel personally offended by it but sometimes it’s so annoying when they can be like, “hey guys” and address a problem but someone like me outside of the clique does it and it’s cringey and unneeded.

Is this across all Dets or just mine?

What happens if you are eligible to go up for the boards and get a pilot slot, but then you get the physical done and they find one eye is worse than 20/70, but repairable by LASIK. Will they send you to get it done, or will they just pull the pilot slot? One of my eyes is probably 20/20, so I’ve never needed glasses, but the other is definitely worse, to where words on a tv are blurry. Just nervous about that other eye.
