Air Force ROTC Cadet - A Day In The Life

[@5point0h67]

Apparently there’s a specific day where ROTC students get to wear the uniform.. I started picking up my now girlfriend at the university and saw people in uniform and I was confused as hell. I’m enlisted Air Force so I was like what the hell why are so many military members on campus LOL

[@bingchilling-h1t]

us military recruiters are always scouting for fresh recruits on campuses

[@Carpfoon]

why am i watching this I'm already 2 years into the Air Force

[@Austindunhamfit]

A lot of people have been curious about what ROTC is and a typical day in life for me is. This video is to help future recruits and or curious people get a taste on the cadet life. If you enjoyed the video please subscribe and stick around for calisthenics and fitness videos, tutorials etc. to help you become an even better cadet. A lot of stuff coming!

[@ronaldmacdonald1268]

what is ROTC ? (im french so i dont know)

[@Nonamguys]

Reserve Officer's Training Corp. In the US Airforce, all officers must have a bachelor's degree in order to commission. ROTC is a way of committing to join the Air Force for a certain number of years (usually 4) when you graduate. In exchange, you learn the leadership and Air Force History lessons as well as attend field training, all of which are requirements for joining the Air Force as an officer outside of ROTC, during your college years. There are also scholarship possibilities and it builds a great community in a club-like setting, all while gaining experience that will help you in and out of the Air Force, professionally and personally.

I'm a marine ROTC cadet and from what you said, they are VERY different. Btw, I have the same backpack that you put in your car

[@myac6517]

X ike X was it different in a good way or bad. I’m trying to decide whether to join the marine or air force rotc

[@TheNoah117]

mya C im currently active duty enlisted in the Marine Corps. If you want a challenge and dont mind getting rain checks frequently, join the Corps. Its much more difficult though. Highly rewarding nonetheless.

[@joeltagge1181]

You can’t join Marine Corps ROTC as it is not a thing, you’d join Navy ROTC and then commission into the marines

[@patrickproductions3859]

@@joeltagge1181 no there is a marine option for nrotc

[@adithyans.k6435]

good job brother...its rare to see people like you today

What happens to the people that don't commissioned? Heard they only take so many per detachment

You're so right about the public speaking significance in ROTC I only did JROTC though

[@shaun2.021]

#AskAD Not necessarily a question but even though you have those other videos for us to watch, where you show us different routines. I think you should STILL consider doing a video of your routine at the GYM. I think it'd be cool to watch, plus a change of scenery from how you regularly show us routines.

This is awesome bro! #goarmedforces

[@lilounce3696]

I fucking love that uniform, I wish we had it in jrotc

[@Nonamguys]

I had no idea you were in AF ROTC as well, and congrats on making C/Capt out fo field training sir! I am a c/3C AS250, and although 250's have bit tighter schedule and a bit more work, your right, pretty laid back. and I know that my det (Det 105) is one of the biggest dets in the nation, DANG your as class was tiny. my as 200 class alone has at least 45 people in it. Any tips on surviving and succeding at field training? (I am going this summer)

[@Austindunhamfit]

Yea our class is small! And really know your warrior knowledge, step up and don't be afraid, don't settle in the background,be heard, and lastly stay positive as the whole situation is temporary.

[@tmutch1443]

Whats up Austin!? Just wanted to start off by saying thank you for this video. I learned alot. I wanted to get some advice from you, I'm a 25 year old (26 in july) and just recently had a crazy urge to follow in my fathers footsteps and join the Air Force. Although I wanted to go in as an officer, so obviously I need a degree first. My question I guess is this, would you say I'm making the right choice for my age as far as going back to school and enrolling in AFROTC? Or would I find myself struggling to get into it or standing out? Ill be honest, I slacked off the last year of high school so I didnt graduate with the greatest of GPA's, I wanna say I was around 3.1 GPA but I'll have to wait and see what my transcript says. I planned on getting in and just busting my ass, studying hard, partying less etc. I'm confident that I can get a solid GPA in my normal classes and willing to go the extra mile to do what I can. Is ROTC hard to get into like do I gotta be a competitive candidate? I was thinking if I could get in my first year, then I was confident I could get great grades in the first 2 years, would that be enough time to really prove myself and get selected for a 3/4th year to be commissioned?

[@epicjazzonia]

What college do you attend again lol I couldn’t understand ? But I’m a senior in high soo ready to do ROTC in college as well thank you for he videos ❤️💜

[@JohnSmith-vy4nx]

he goes to valdosta state

[@CamiyaElaine]

Hi! how do you already have your uniform in this video? I am a first semester rotc and I haven't gotten my military uniform just yet, can wait!

[@noahditto8298]

Hi, I have a question. So I’m a sophomore in high school, and I’ve been contemplating about careers for quite some time now. My goal is to become an Air Force pilot. So does it matter whether I do ROTC or the Academy, or will both lead me down the right path. I wanted to go in as an officer rather than enlisted

[@wumbo.69]

Eyyyyyyy thanks for the shoutout bud! #Forndog

[@Austindunhamfit]

Sup bro :D

[@juhyeongkweon5536]

Hey I just watched all of ur videos and I’m happy for your new journey!! I’m going join afrotc in this fall as AS100 Since you left the afrotc while you were in the poc, did you get any obligation??

[@uzairlodhi5616]

Is their any specific things at ROTC to become a Air Force pilot too

[@blissings4u]

Hey Austin nice vid, was wondering what college you go to and what job your wanting in the Air Force. I’m a junior in high school wanting to join as well. Thanks again!

[@theConnerDye]

I have the same dresser at 0:54

[@nathanwiley3699]

Austin, do you have any colleagues in AFROTC that are aspiring pilots? What does a person have to do in AFROTC (besides the stellar grades and eyesight) to have a very good shot at acquiring a pilot slot? Great vid man

[@Austindunhamfit]

+Nathan Wiley i do. And thats a whole different video

[@All15Star1]

Do you have to go to “salute school” before being a commissioned officer? Assuming that you did ROTC all throughout college.

[@basketballerik]

Hey Austin, first off, great video ! Keep them coming! And I just have one question why did you decide to join ROTC ?

[@vaidikvashistha2317]

Thanks for the information

[@shayturnbull8402]

Why is the time 12:09am right now

Yo Austin next time you post another video, can you do a video of high/explosive pull ups tutorial because i can do a 13 pull ups but i don't have a strength for get my chest over the bar? thanks dude.

[@maeganjames2490]

I can't wait to be in college in AFROTC. I haven't submitted my fitness test yet. Will I be in ROTC in college if I didn't? Is it true that you have to run a 6 minute mile to pass the PT test? I haven't done that since I was 11..... I'm a senior in high school now.

[@Austindunhamfit]

1.5 mile run :) females must do it in 15 minute I believe

[@maeganjames2490]

oh ok that's more reasonable thanks *****

[@davontawilliams3958]

So after you graduate college with your bachelors what happens to your civilian career ?

[@deandremorton3189]

Do you think having a full time job while doing ROTC will be doable? I am thinking about doing ROTC but I want to see if i would be able to do that and work at the same time. And if you want to live on campus how competitive is the list to be accepted for the dorm scholarship? Thank you!

[@Perzecute]

I’m kind of wanting to commission in the Air Force. What will happen if I graduate from rotc?

[@andywilliams2082]

What guard size is your hair on the top and the sides? It's looked mad clean.

This is an amazing video! I plan to join ROTC when I get to college next year. Do I have to be able to pass a fitness test to join?

[@Austindunhamfit]

Once you get in yes.

I know once I'm in I'll have to pass one. But do I have to pass one to gain entry into the program?

[@ErinHump777]

So I really want to join the AFROTC I went to a military school for 3 years of high school. But what are the first steps I take so I can get into the Air Force ROTC?

[@jaylencox168]

So I am going to enter Air Force ROTC this semester, do you have any tips or pointers for a first year? and also I am African American can you tell me how ROTC works with hair and ect?

[@alexcastellon5982]

Hey Austin, cool video. What is the difference between ROTC and just normal enlistment? I'm looking on joining the air force, any tips?

[@Austindunhamfit]

ROTC - 4 year process to become an officer. Officers lead the enlisted. Officers = captains,majors,colonels,generals etc. Also of course the pay difference is huge. Enlisting- All you need is a high school degree. Come in at the bottom of the barrel usually. Think of enlisted as employees working in the store and officers in the corporate building.

[@62_batthsaab62]

Austin Dunham bro, I talked to someone about joining my GPA is above a 90, I was told I'd go straight to officer training. how does this work?

[@62_batthsaab62]

would I still have to go to basic training? how hard is it? what should I do to get prepared for the training?

[@62_batthsaab62]

also , is this a full life career or can it be short term?

[@shallowcoder1]

Mr. megashot47 Depends on the route to becoming a commissioned officer u want to take all the Branches but the Marines have 3 routes and they are the service academy, ROTC, and OCS/OTS. The Marines have those 3 routes plus one more the PLC. U can google how to get into those 4 routes. Also just some fair warning if u have a medical condition and u know it doesn't effect u than don't tell ur recruiter. I did that and I waited over a year (Air Force) just to be told that I'm PDQ.

[@MrGameableGaming]

Once you finish the 4 years of training, do you have to commit to 10 years of being a pilot? (which is what I want to do to build up hours to join the airlines), or can I choose 4 years as a pilot. I'm trying to make a decision to either build up hours as a CFI, or join the ROTC Air Force.

[@justuskastel8498]

I've been really wanting to do ROTC lately. I've looked at all the branches and Air Force seems to be the one I want to do. Watching this video helped me out a lot and I wanna say thank you. However I'm stuck right now. Currently I'm a high school junior, about to take my ASVAB, and I don't know where to start in the registration process. I wanna know where do I go to actually sign up and register to take ROTC. I also wanna know if it's tedious to commute from two schools for general Ed and ROTC because I plan to go to GCU in Arizona and go to ASU for their AFROTC. Austin, if you could help me out with this, you'll be a god.

[@galvatron530]

I hope this reply is not too late but I am actually an AS100 cadet doing AFROTC at ASU. So far it's been a wonderful experience and I have definitely learned a lot about leadership. In response to your first question, if you google "asu air force rotc" you will find a website where you can get the contact information for the detachment. Just call them and they'll tell you what you need to do. For your second question, I'm not personally going to GCU but I know a few cadets who are and from what I can tell, their main issue is getting up earlier than those of us who live on campus and driving all the way here. I hope this answers your questions.

[@qraee]

Question: do you enlist after rotc In general what do you do after rotc ends lol

[@er-01]

Dawt Kom after rotc you wouldn’t enlist, if you make it through you would commission as an officer

[@Joey9in4you]

Eddie Rosario i have a question. I want to be a fighter pilot but I don’t want to be a reserve pilot. I want it as a career. With this you graduate with a bachelors degree and becoming an officer?

Can you do a video about Field Training?

[@CallofDutyDwarf]

do they financially help you if you're in an ROTC, like with tuition and books?

[@Nonamguys]

There are a few opportunities to get scholarships or tuition assistance with ROTC, and they are all pretty limited in availability. If you are in JROTC in high school, it is possible to get a 4 year scholarship, but these are darn hard to get. Also, after your sophomore year, when you got to field training, you can apply for a scholarship that will pay tuition (and maybe books? but not board) that will cover your college until you graduate. Other than those, no, you have to pay for college yourself.

[@Austindunhamfit]

He nailed it. Once you become a junior and complete field training you get a monthly stipend.
