Thank you for posting your journey! I'm getting ready to start my AFROTC journey this year and your videos have helped me a lot. I'm excited for you! :-) good luck!
I'm glad I could help! Good luck to you as well :)
@@CaseyMelvin hey! As an officer do you have to live on base in the dorms? I’m trying to commission as an officer (captain O3, I have my doctorate in occupational therapy). Just wondering! Thanks in advance
I was stationed at WPAFB and loved it. The people around the area are the nicest and Columbus is fun. Never really heard great things about Georgia but since you are an officer you will PCS a lot more than enlisted.
Im in the Air Force National guard and the standardized stuff, white tube socks, getting yelled at for existing is exactly how BMT was😂😂😂
Your videos have been helping me! I can't wait to start ROTC in the fall. But since, I'll be a sophmore, I have to take double classes but not PT lol.
I'm glad I could help! And whaaaattttt??? No pt ? lol why not?
What I ment was I still have to take PT and double class since I’ll be a Cadet 250. Sorry for the miss communication
Congrats! I live in Columbus,Ga and I would say Georgia is pretty nice but the weather can be kinda crazy lol. Good luck!
Ouhhh yaaay I got married in Punta Cana (Neither one of us are from there, we just had a destination wedding lol) and the all inclusive was for the wedding as well so I always rave about going there and having a destination wedding or just going on vacation. I really want to go to Mexico too! Military is allowed there, you just have to ask permission like my husband still had to ask permission to go to the Dominican Republic and any country outside the US.
My cousin is having her wedding there too! (not sure if I mentioned that in the video lol) I am so excited because its going to be so much different than any other vacation I've been on.
I got so excited at the beginning of this video because my AFSC is Contracting and my EAD is Sep 30..AND our tech school is at the same base, so I was thinking that I might see you there haha. How did you do at FT though??!
Kelsey Stull that’s so cool! And I did good lol what base are you going to
I'm going to Vandenberg!
Awesome!
Thanks :)
Do all detachments have the accelerated program? The ones near to me, most have said they can’t do that or they haven’t heard of that and that you have to be in it 3 years or longer 👀
Ok first of all, we are bday twins Woop! Secondly, glad I found your journey. I’ve been thinking about joining the AF as an officer and have been looking for info =)
I'm interested to know if you have arrived to your base yet?
Why didn't you want WPAFB? Just curious. I live pretty close to there
How do you already have your duty station if you haven’t passed field training yet?
Since I'm doing the accelerated program I am doing all four years of ROTC in one year and I'll go to field training over the summer then come back and commission. Since I am technically a 400 I had to submit my jobs and bases and get them assigned like everyone else. Does that make sense?
Casey Melvin what if you don’t pass?
Makayla Smith I never thought of that as an option like I just know I need to pass but I guess I wouldn’t commission and everything I’ve done would be for nothing 🙃
Casey Melvin yes ma’am I believe in you totally I just wanted to know how it worked. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE! Good luck!
Thank you :)
Did they gave you that jacket in the beginning of joining AFROTC ?
Hey Casey! I live here in GA right next to Moody! It would be super awesome if we could link up when you get down here :)
Yeah we could do that! It might not be for another year or so because I won't even get there until December and then I still would have to go to tech school lol
Congrats on your assignment. Being in the south you’ll have access to many great beaches. Enjoy. Happy birthday!
I know, I'm very excited and thank you! :)
What base in Georgia are you stationed at? I'm stationed at moody AFB I just had some questions about ROTC
You have to take the AFOQT? I'm dreading taking it, was it too bad?
Yes, I took the AFOQT back in July and the thing that is the worst/hardest part about it is the time constraints so I just recommend getting study books and practice taking the test WITH the times that you would do for the test!
We’re in ROTC in undergrad ? Also, do you know if grad students can go to AFROTC?
When are you going to be in Alabama? I’ll be at OTS April-June
I won't know until April but it'll be sometime between June- August
So when do you go to OTS? After you go to your base?
You don't go to OTS if you complete ROTC. There are three different ways to become an officer; going through OTS which is similar to enlisted basic training, ROTC or going to the Air Force Academy.
If you don't mind me asking, what did you major in? Does Air Force ROTC require certain majors? Was looking at Criminal Justice.
Brandon Roberts Im a criminal justice major and Im going logistics readiness, unless youre an engineer they dont really care
ShibuyaNHK Thanks man. Answers alot of questions.
Couldn't have said it better myself
I want to be a dentist (current biology major) should I do ROTC if I know I'll apply for HPSP to help pay for dental school after graduation ?
I don't know much about how that would work and I don't want to give false information but I just looked into HPSP and that looks like a great set up if you know you can get the scholarship.
IM YOUR REALLY GOOD FRIEND YAY
YES :)
How exactly do you join ROTC?
So first what you have to do is find a college that has an ROTC program (You can find a list online) There are also scholarships available but what you need to do first is find a school that you would do the ROTC program through and call them directly and ask for more information and I'm sure they'd be happy to help!
Casey Melvin Thanks!! When should I contact the detachment? Is there any specific info I should approach them with?
Jen Rogel I would contact them as soon as you know for sure which college you’d be going to and I don’t think you need specific information, they’ll tell you what you need to do !
Casey Melvin Hey sorry I have one more question!! Just to get into ROTC do I need a certain GPA? Or SAT score?
Jen Rogel yes a 2.0 gpa
Do you qualify for bah right away?
