Air Force ROTC; A Day in the Life of a Cadet 

Dank Gank except cost guard

Rev Replay yah I don’t really know how true that is. Big whoop you shoot at a couple pirates with waterlogged aks. And get a lucky drug bust every couple years. From what I’ve seen all they do is hang around and fish all day.

Rev Replay and deploy the the fuckin Caribbean for gods sakes

Joe Johnson Your point of view shows how ignorant you are as an American, you're better off working at McDonald's for the rest of your life because that's what stupid people like you who refuse to comprehend such simple facts do.

Rev Replay or maybe like be in the military. Have you ever served or have any tangible experiences or could use to prove wherever point it is your trying to make cuz I have a ton.

CarpFoon 0'Hydrate is it better to join before or after college?

@@fatal_moon4570 if you do after, go for officer route. Much higher pay and all.

@@fatal_moon4570 if you go before, your college is paid for. So.

@@Carpfoon I'm doing this. Going to a recruiter office Monday👍👍

@@elicentric ROTC is basically the basic training

Joe Michaels looks like thats what I’m doing

Did you get payed decently?

I never understood services dissing other services, we're kind of on the same team here, right? I will agree that Army has a higher emphasis on physical conditioning than the Air Force.

He's got a point. What he doesn't tell you is how much more important it is being intelligent in today's military than it is being physically fit. But that's because he's a meat head.

Ever looked into Air Force TACP, CCT, SOWT, or PJ's? Air Force has their fair share of battlefield Airman as well. Just like the Army has their fair share of technical smarty pants who perform the stereotypical "nerdy" jobs as well. We all protect and defend the same red, white and blue brother. It doesn't matter under what branch someone wants to dedicate themselves too.

Bro, everybody knows that. ratios man ratios. Let me know what the ratios of these things are then come back to me and say that again

Intelligence is definitely key. However, it would be foolish to assume that certain AFROTC cadets couldn't out perform you in PT just by virtue of them having less rigorous PT with their detachment

Newgods 2019 your not actually a Private First Class just a fake one

@@joejohnson3814 your a fucking asshole at least he's doing something productive in his life and wants to serve his country

@@joejohnson3814 fax 😂

I’m an ROTC cadet and I truly believe that JROTC is unnecessary and unethical. Children are too young for military presence in high schools. Wait until they’re older and mature so they can make these decisions for themselves.

Braulio Torres If they require you to have something they would provide it, and you are allowed to wear your own uniform.

Super late but for those reading this that are asking the same here is the answers: 1) Its free only time you need to pay is if you lose your items. 2)If you are prior service you are allowed to wear the old ones as long as it all followed the AFI and wing standardization. 3)OCP's

All uniforms are issued by ROTC

bae 😍

Jamari Allen Join Raiders my guy, it’s fun and being Raider Commander is better since you get to drop people for no reason

Yinz Steelers let me know how it goes

Are you at UP? I'm getting ready to start this semester but through a different DET.

Did you get your EA?

@@davidfelton7772 Yes, a non-rated tech EA. FY23. It's been a rough couple of weeks, lost half my class in one day. 20 strong too. Only 9 of us remain, it's been bittersweet. You?

@@spectre.8804 I'm only a 100 right now so I have time. I think for us, the official EA percentage was about 53% making it. If it's about the same next year, I'm confident that I'll make it. I'm from a pretty big det so there's already a lot of badasses in my class but we'll see. I plan on applying for any position whatsoever next semester so I can have a decent resume

@@davidfelton7772 Yeah just put yourself out there. And try your best.

Woah why did half your class drop?? Did they just quit because they didn’t like the afscs they got?

Out of curiosity,… what scholarship did you receive? Did you need like super good test scores?

@@vladimircastanon9682 I'm not on scholarship unfortunately, only like 3 members of my flight are so I don't know much for the scholarship, but I suggest talking to your school counselors or looking it up because I know nothing about it 😆

Hey, international students have the opportunity also?

Nope. At my detachment (Det 475, U of New Hampshire) we wear our uniform for ROTC activities (Lab, GMTE etc.) and all day on Tuesdays (Lead Lab day)

Not even that Blue Polo? with the Air Force Logo on it? Not that i care just asking.

The blue polo is the initial freshman uniform, it is worn in place of ABUs. We get issued our ABUs next semester. So to answer your question, no the polo is not worn every day either.

k. Thanks

you can get different levels of scholarships to it. Type 1 pays 100% of your college tuition and gives you money for textbooks. You can search it up for more info

One army the other is air force. Same US Armed Forces

Yeah airforce is way more uptight than other branches

As far as I’m concerned, yes you can do ROTC. There is someone in my class who’s enlisted in the guard and is doing AFROTC at the same time. But call up your nearest detachment and check in with them

MossInBlood if you can do something to prepare then it's not a waste of time

Allison O'Keefe RESERVE Officer Training Corpse does reserve mean anything to you?

Jack1nthecrack actually I got in contact with the Master Sergeant of a AFROTC company and you have a duty to go active duty so...

Allison O'Keefe u look nice

That option is only available to the Army

well, majority of people in ROTC got a scholarship in high school, or an in university scholarship. also, you get payed for being in ROTC, 900$ for books, and scholarships range from 18,000 dollars a year, 9,000$ a year, and in some cases, a full scholarship.

did you end up joining? if yes, was it nerve-racking in anyway?

I'm looking into different options as well, so I'm not an ultra knowledgeable source, but according to a retired colonel that I have been talking with both are equally qualified on paper, but academy graduates get favored. It won't make an enormous difference as pilot slots are generally decided by academics, but compared to two similar officers preference generally leans towards academy graduates.

Adam Hale if being a pilot is goal try for academy and use rotc as backup

@@NurseNick420 I know its been 2 years, but that statement was wrong lol.

its the same standard and difficulty between each. Flight hours, AFOQT scores, etc it all plays a part on your performance and youre competiting against OTS, AFA, AFROTC, so all in all its just as difficult as the rest

@@VvProtocallvV not true. Afrotc pilot slots do not pull from the same pot as the academy. They have separate numbers to base off. And then OTS is a whole different story. You are hoping to get hired by a guard or reserve so a spot might not even exist

You're in CAP? NICE! I'm a C/CMSGT in CAP.

nate dog lol

Doubt that’s true

It’s true

ROTC is college but JROTC is high school

Doesnt really matter where you do it

That surprised me. I'm just a normal college student and I wake up at 4:30am.

^Bullshit detected, "it surprised me"

< Current AFROTC Cadet and I wake up at 0430 every morning to make it to PT by 0545. You would really have to live a month in our shoes to know how difficult it is to wake up at 0430 and not be done with your day until 2100 while trying to balance a 16+ hour credit load everyday for 4 or more years of college. It may seem easy from the outside but there's so much that we sacrifice everyday because we want to serve. Are all of us perfect in every way? Absolutely not, but the AFROTC program is intended to better us one step at a time. And believe me when I say you would not want to endure the 2 months of field training preparation, it's 2 months of no sleep, constant studying of your schoolwork and Air Force material that they expect you to know off the top of your head at every moment of the day oh and a little mix of being yelled at for everything you do plus extra PT time everyday!

@@JK-tu1xx why would you need to wake up at 0430 for PT at 0545? How far away do you live from campus?

If you have already completed your second year, it might be difficult for you to join at this stage as most AFROTC programs are 3-4 years. I would contact the detachment at your school to see if you can join

Yes, it's designed for people already in college and you can major in anything you want. ROTC is just one extra class that you take every semester along with a leadership lab that teaches you practical military skills

I would say only do ROTC if you want to go active duty. If you want to air guard you can enlist and then get some of your collage payed for with the GI bill. I don’t know if reserves does that though. Either way I’d pick guard over reserves because it is both state and federally funded. Don’t expect to go into reserves from AFROTC though, most likely you will be an active duty officer.

They're just wearing their Blues, or dress uniform. All cadets receive these uniforms, usually worn on formal occasions however. I was wondering why those cadets were wearing them instead of their ABUs

Kai Perez Some colleges only issue ABUs to the 200 year cadets (sophomores) because of financial constraints (they don't return the boots and they can be expensive) so the only cadets that receive them are 200s that are able to compete for field training and higher ranking cadets. So the ones in Blues are probably 100s (freshmen).

Polo (freshman) Blues (sophomore ) ABUs (junior and up) basically after FT you get ABUs

Henry Bowers They mentioned it

Henry Bowers Marines have a college ROTC? I assumed they just took NROTC and commissioned as Marine officers instead like at the Naval Academy

Henry Bowers he did mention NROTC but not the marines

Akiba it is apart of nrotc

No such thing as marine rotc its just Navy

+Nathan White JROTC*

+ThatdudeintheArmy NJROTC*

+Waahid Muhammad Marines Have a separate JROTC its MCJROTC

Lucky

No one cares about your jrotc

No I don't believe so

yes there is its 32

Depends on the branch

I thought Vegemite tastes like shit

There is a JROTC for the Marines. But there is a no Marine ROTC. You have to go to Navy ROTC and choose the Marine Option.

JROTC is for High School, but I think all JROTC branches have the same type of lesson plans and teams, the only difference is uniform

Forget what anyone says who commented on your post. Their is an Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine core Jrotc program! At my old school I used to do marine core Jrotc and hen I moved and did Air Force Jrotc

Robert Reaves what do you even mean?

Robert Reaves Do you even grammar?

That is JROTC, not actual ROTC.

+BlackBird7790 ok and

you called it ROTC, thats what. there's a huge different lul

ROTC is a path civilians take to become officers in the military, while Joke ROTC just teaches kids how to be good civilians.

Probably got a pilot slot.

Kev The Man those are known as ACU's if your talking about the camoflauge clothes. The dress clothes are know as class A or B uniforms

No, ABUs**** are not the same as flight suits. The flight suit is a green jumper worn only by flight MOS's (pilot, loadmaster, etc.). I am not sure, maybe he received a pilot slot or met whatever the detachment's requirement is for them.

theyre flight select.

By MOS im assuming you mean AFSC, in the Air Force MOS is maintaince of standards, we're not the army. Tracking?

ToxicTopSavage No the USMC does not have an ROTC program. Some midshipmen from NROTC commission as an officer in the Marine Corps (if they pass the USMC requirements)

Knightofuniverse This is college ROTC not jrotc.

In college bro.

PackingMessyCans they dont have to ?

? He’s right Navy ROTC (NROTC) commission both Navy and Marine Corps officers, Army ROTC, and Air Force ROTC, Coast Guard does not have one.

Wow, thrilling comment

@@mr.radical9659 Wow, i'm so glad

Prreeestty Much

rip the marines lol

No he was saying that their are only 3 types of ROTC programs. Navy ROTC commission both Navy and Marine Corps officers, Army ROTC,and Air Force ROTC. No Coast Guard does not have an ROTC.

this is the most karen comment i’ve ever seen

Haha Karen 🤡🤡

Rich 91 I mean ROTC pt is often considered more challenging that the pt newly commissioned Lt do.

dominican airforce cadet???

Marines are part of the Navy

But marines are there own branch. They are not part of the navy. They are under jurisdiction of the department of the navy which is not the branch of navy

Jake 1114 No he was saying only 3 branches offers ROTC. Navy, Army,and Air Force. Midshipmen can commission as an officer in the USMC through NROTC.

Nicholas Chartier don't worry guy, no one thinks you're a 'man' walking around campus

Wrecked.

ohhhhhhh

Nah

I'm a chief master sargent

As a 2LT, your spelling gives it away.

Im a colonel in army jrotc

In the marines? Thats not how you spell sergeant.

I wake up at 4:00AM when I go to work

Not all schools wake up at 0600, I am in AFROTC and I have to wake up at 0500 so boo who. It just depends on the school and the cadre. Some colleges are more strick, obviously this one isn't seeing as this guy didn't even know how many branches there are in the military!

+Manervia McDonald he was talking bout ROTC branches. Which is Air Force, Navy, and Army.

+James Charleston I am aware, I am in Air Force ROTC in college and I wake up at 0500 to workout at 0545.

which college do you go to? i was thinking of joining afrotc

Most of the Air Force has nothing to do with flying planes.

***** Did you really just say that

***** yes. Just like most of the army and marines have nothing to do with infantry. Most AF personnel do something outside the realm of aviation, believe it for fucking not.

***** (AIR FORCE) MEANING AIRPLANES MOST OF THE JOBS HAVE TO DO WITH PILOTING YOU DUMB DUMB FUCKING IT DEALS WITH AIR STUFF AND AIR SECURITY BITCH

***** you are so fucking dumb.

He meant that have their own ROTC. Neither Coast Guard nor Marines have ROTC. (except for Marine option in NROTC)

Technically speaking there are only 2 branches Army and Navy Marines is an elite Corp. of the navy and the Air Force is a corporation

Three war departments.

Nicholas Goar this is not true. Air Force is it’s own bramch
