[@Chuck.Mast3r]

As someone who's considering OTS as a post grad this definitely shed some light on the culture and mindset needed to be successful in the AF! Appreciate the content

[@SethTerwilliger]

I appreciate that mate! Kick some ass out there

[@fergie8957]

Passed my AFOQT with a 93 in the pilot section, received a Rated EA, and now a contract! Sadly this Rona virus is messing with FT20!

[@SethTerwilliger]

Hell yeah man!! Congrats. Hope to see you out here in the skies.

[@fergie8957]

Well 6 month update - made a 85 PCSM on my TBAS and graduated FT20.

[@fergie8957]

@@phi_meson Well I'd say its kind of important. I hit between 96-98 on my PT tests. It all goes into your commanders ranking/boards you go to

[@SethTerwilliger]

I too was getting scores like that. Also some very interesting things are happening with pilot training in terms of accelerated programs. Take advantage!

@@SethTerwilliger really?? Any link to an article I can read? Or video I can watch!?

Same brother, I'll see you there, lol.

Graduated and can’t wait for school and rotc to start back in late August!!

DarkWolf985 Sierra. You?

If I’m in ROTC as a 250 (sophomore year) trying to get selected for FT(next Summer) what do you think I can do to better my chances? Thank you for your input.

[@PMP007]

Such a helpful video. Great job. Great format as well.

[@SethTerwilliger]

Thank you!! Are you going this summer?

[@PMP007]

Seth Terwilliger sadly no, I’ve been in contact with my nearby host school. Really trying to get into the program this coming fall. Pretty much stay up watching videos about rotc all night lol. Hopefully nothing gets too held up because of corona.

[@thegaminglegend9706]

Just seeing this video now, I'm going to AFROTC in college this next year. I wanna become a pilot after, is there any information I need to know to try and get to the piloting career.

[@SethTerwilliger]

That's awesome! Let me type up some stuff and I'll reply once I'm done

[@devonruscilli8149]

Definitely talk to the cadre at your detachment

[@GVman919]

Thanks from Det. 535. Air power!

[@SethTerwilliger]

Welcome! Thanks for watching and please subscribe

[@dakiladelfin]

Is the acapella group "In The Stairwell" popular in the US Air Force? Thanks

[@Bradleyswagg93]

I'm going in June. How often is PT? I've heard various answers

[@SethTerwilliger]

So it varies depending on your staff. Some flights do it every day some every other day. But regardless, you need to be prepared. The official pt test is day 2 at 445 am ish so start getting up early to run etc. If this answers your question please subscribe and share:)

[@supersamsquared8055]

@@SethTerwilliger What would happen if one failed the field training PT test?

[@SethTerwilliger]

You would get 1 more chance to take it and then would be sent home. At least that's what they did when I went. I think now you get an unconditional or bad mark on your record and are one step from going home

[@dylandiaz5520]

I have a question. How come the one guy is wearing a flight suit?

[@SethTerwilliger]

Because he along with myself have flying careers. Once you get that job you are free to wear the flight suit. Thanks for the question! Hope you subscribe

[@dylandiaz5520]

Seth Terwilliger thank you. Makes me more excited for when I go into AFROTC and get to wear a flight suit because my dream job is a fighter pilot

[@SethTerwilliger]

Just work hard man and be a team player. ROTC is a game and teamwork and leadership are key to success. Achieve those things, get good grades, and having fun will get you to your goal for sure. Lmk if you have any questions and please subscribe

[@dylandiaz5520]

Seth Terwilliger thank you for the motivation bro. I will take all of that into consideration and I’ll subscribe

[@CRAWLER3888]

How do cadets get flight suits?

[@lizolney7474]

At my det usually you get flight suits after you receive a rated slot (which normally you would find out the end of your junior year which would translate to you wearing them your senior year.

[@FlyingMonet]

@@lizolney7474 are there a lot of prior enlisted in ROTC? How do they typically do in the program? I was enlisted Air Force when I was 18-22 and I’m 24 now lol

[@hannahjohnson6615]

How long was training?

[@SethTerwilliger]

When I went it was 18 days but I believe its 15 days now.

[@hannahjohnson6615]

Okay thank you!

[@Mustang6971]

If you went with prior enlisted what was thier experience.

[@SethTerwilliger]

They honestly thought it was easier. Like it was only 18 days lol. More of like all the yelling and team building. ROTC is where you get the Air force knowledge so they don't focus on that at training

[@BakerSkateboarding98]

this is speeding. im telling my mom

[@SethTerwilliger]

Hahaha sounds good

[@BakerSkateboarding98]

@@SethTerwilliger all good man. Im the ftp sq/cc over at det 330. Now that EA's have dropped I am looking to distribute resources for everyone. Good stuff, I really like the idea of the cadet panel.

I appreciate it! We plan to produce more content as the semester's goes along. Please subscribe and encourage your sq to as well

[@aleczimmerman777]

If there was one thing you wish you knew going into Field Training, what would it be?

[@SethTerwilliger]

That it's ok to fail. Like Field Training is an environment where it is designed for you to fail. They are testing you on how you handle that failure and how you can lead others through a situation knowing that you all may fail. Have an open mind! FT is what you make of it. If you go down with a bad attitude you'll always have one. And lastly, everything is team oriented. Don't try to do everything by yourself ask your flight for help. Please subscribe and share :)

[@MajorPayne175]

The lack of diversity disgust me.
