Thank you for all you do. I have a question, if I may. I just turned 30, and after a 10 year career in sales, I want to make a career change. Seriously considering going to school, and doing ROTC. I would graduate at 33 or 34. Am I in over my head, or would you encourage something like this? My father was enlisted AF for 4 years, and I've always wanted to serve in the Air Force, but got sucked into sales and got distracted. What do you think? Am I "too old"? I know the cut off officially is 39. But wanted to get your 2 cents. Thank you!
I appreciate the great content y’all thank you. I recently heard about the Air Force GLP (Graduate Law Program). 2 years of AFROTC -> guaranteed position as a JAG upon graduation, Bar Passage, and licensure. Do you gentlemen know anyone who has completed the program? There is not much information online about it.
Do you recommend SMP program for someone that needs help paying for college while doing ROTC? Would it be difficult to go active duty once ROTC is complete
Quite late comment here. How much would you say you struggled balancing AFROTC and Mechanical Engineering? I’m studying the same thing, and am considering joining my junior. Though there is a 3 year minimum, I’m a year behind on classes, so it shouldn’t be a problem with that.
didn’t struggle any more or less than my peers. yes it’s extra, but AFROTC teaches you discipline and to stay focused. or at least that’s the goal…YMMV.
I am about to go into community college can I still apply for a scholarship for rotc and if so what grades will they look at will it be high school grades or the first 2 semester grades of community college
I already have a bachelors and am a civilian and want to be an Af officer. Can I go to a grad school and do rotc? With the sole purpose of becoming an Af officer. I’m sure the masters will help too.
If one took dual enrollment in high school and by the time graduated high school with college credit under their belt and entered college a junior, would you still be able to join ROTC in college? If not, any suggestions to be qualified?
Hello! Thank you for the information; it is very helpful. In the AFROTC contract, upon completion, is it possible to join the Reserves or National Guard? Otherwise, is it mandatory to serve active duty?
Regular Air Force (aka Active Duty) is the default but you can commission straight into the Guard or Reserve if they have a spot for you. you’ll need to contact the unit directly and ask if they have an opening and are willing to hold it for you until you have completed your training.
Hi I would like to become a fighter pilot in the Air Force Reserve. I am 28 years old now and I will graduate with a bachelor’s degree next year. Since I am almost graduating in one year, what would be the best way for me to join the Air Force?
like most things in the military, it depends. AFROTC is designed to take 4 years to complete, with a 3 year minimum for cadets who do not have significant prior military experience. those who do the 3 year program have to double up on their AFROTC coursework during their single GMC year. for those who do have significant prior military experience, they may qualify for GMC/POC Accreditation IAW AFROTCI para. 3.15 and Table 3.3. this is how a prior enlisted member can complete AFROTC in 2 years. in only extremely rare circumstances will Region/CC’s allow for cadets to complete the program in less than 2 years and the burden belongs to the cadet and their cadre to prove that doing so is in the best interest of the Air Force.
As long as you can remain a full-time student for the entire duration of your AFROTC career, you'll be okay. Although, it would be safe to run it by with your local detachment's cadre.
How would you join and commute if your college doesn’t have a detachment? The college I am going has a crosstown afrotc program that is a hour and a half away. Would I have to go there each day?
I have question . I am looking to join rotc at age 17 in junior year of high school and looking to ho to collage . Should i join rotc in junior year and as i graduate from high school will that help me with my collage finance.
I was talking to one of the school that offered AFROTC program. If I understood correctly is that the 4 year AFROTC program consist of freshman and sophomore year which is the GMC portion and the 3rd and 4th year is the POC portion? is that correct? Also in order to make it to 3rd and 4th year of the program , its competitive and if not selected , that means the cadets will not finish the 4 year program and go on to become Air Force officer? Please help me understand. I'm a little confuse.
yes, you can complete AFROTC in 3 years. you can be an AS250 and take the 100 and 200 level courses at the same time. if you have significant military experience (prior enlisted, attended a Service academy, etc.) you may be approved to complete the program in 2 years.
they're all fine. the book or practice tests you use don't really matter much. for the TBAS, practice flying either on a simulator or, even better, in real life.
My question is since air force and space force pretty much come from the same thing does this mean that there are more scholarships or slots to fill in for the coming years? I am thinking of joining as cyber officer and they both offer it. I will be going for my masters and second degree in cyber/CS. My first degree is business with a GPA of 3.94, am I competitive enough if I do AAS and do other things ? I am just asking for advice on things to better get a slot to become a POC
the amount of scholarships available is tied directly to the recruitment and retention environment, which ebbs and flows. best way to get selected for POC is to not suck at school or at being a cadet. and then attend Field Training.
Thanks for touching on Prior E's being able to utilize programs in AD that allows them to get into AFROTC!
you bet! people don't know what they don't know!

you’re not in over your head or too old. go for it or you’ll always wonder “what if?”
How competitive is it to get the scholarship? I'm technically a sophomore returning student, 28.

I had an IEP in high school can I still join AFROTC? It’s been my dream to be a pilot since I was young.

Suprised I got this video AFTER I joined AFROTC 😂, good video tho, definitely agree with the points
Can someone with a bachelor's degree be able to join, or is it only for people just starting college?
@redplum7903 you must be in a full-time, degree seeking status for at least three years to be in AFROTC. otherwise, apply for OTS.
My daughter just got an officer slot in Space Force
congrats to her! that’s not easily done.
Can you talk about what jobs need specific type of degrees?

yes, but you’ll need a way to be a full time student for at least three years.
I heard field training is in Texas now
If one took dual enrollment in high school and by the time graduated high school with college credit under their belt and entered college a junior, would you still be able to join ROTC in college? If not, any suggestions to be qualified?
you can join, but you’ll still need to be in the program a minimum of three years.
How can I join if I'm a graduate from Kenya?

Would love to join during my Masters program.

Thank you

you’ll travel there only on the days you are required to attend a class. contact the detachment and ask how they have things setup.
how might active duty separate to join AFROTC?

I have question . I am looking to join rotc at age 17 in junior year of high school and looking to ho to collage . Should i join rotc in junior year and as i graduate from high school will that help me with my collage finance.
are you talking about AFJROTC, which is a high school program? AFROTC is only available at four year colleges.
Does air force rotc require basic training at any point
no. in the place of BMT, AFROTC cadets attend Field Training in between their sophomore and junior years.
Enlisted here, are there any online rotc programs?
nope. you can be an online student at your university, but you must be in-person for all practical military training and academics.
Also how do I get a ROTC scholarship.
www.afrotc.com/scholarships/high-school/types/
Do you accept online college??
can’t be completely online. you have to be in person for AFROTC courses at the very least.

this is all correct.
Can you complete ROTC in 3 years my DET is saying it has to be 4 years some stuff on the website is saying it could be done in as little as 2 years
yes, you can complete AFROTC in 3 years. you can be an AS250 and take the 100 and 200 level courses at the same time. if you have significant military experience (prior enlisted, attended a Service academy, etc.) you may be approved to complete the program in 2 years.
@@airforceofficerpodcast thank you gentlemen. I appreciate your help
Can MIT might have ROTC.
Hi I am cadet staff sergeant morales I'm in the AFJRORC this video has been very informative. Thank you 2 for the great information.
You should do video on how to pass afoqt
meh. study for it. there's no trick to it. the test is designed to measure aptitude, not necessarily your ability to take a test.
@@airforceofficerpodcast oh ok I meant which books are good? What about tbas? How do you study
they're all fine. the book or practice tests you use don't really matter much.
for the TBAS, practice flying either on a simulator or, even better, in real life.
