ENLISTED TO OFFICER, AFROTC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS! For ALL branches

[@MikeMiasuki-vy3xx]

O-1 over four years enlisted is a big pay raise. Consider that too please.

[@jasonczfan8658]

My daughter is enlisting after High School this year and wants to go this route and will continue to try for the Academy as well. Your page is helpful

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

That’s awesome to hear! Feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions or concerns!

[@tusharbhatia5368]

This is very informative. Thank you so much!

[@jernramers2713]

Thank you for this very informative video. Question: when airmen get removed from active duty to being a full time student, does the TIS from being an enlisted get removed?

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

Hopefully I am addressing your question correctly, but that time served still counts and TIS doesn't apply if you are already separated. Hope this helps!

[@jeffreypaula2739]

Damn, I just paid off my student loans and I'm too old. Never knew about these great programs. Oh well.

[@stephanieblack5779]

Hi! Your content is very helpful. Would you happen to have any documentation that covers enlisted to OTS, for those that are pursuing (BSN) nursing? Ty! 🇺🇸

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

I do not! Have you spoke with a USAF health professions recruiter? They would be your best bet.

[@stephanieblack5779]

Not yet, but thank you for providing me with that direction! ❤️

How does commissioning to the space force from rotc work? Does it depend on the job you pick it? is it an option (like the navy ROTC marine option)

[@eyb0ss390]

You apply to a space force board your 3 or 4 year in the program and, yes, it also depends on what afsc you were given. Missiles and space operations give a higher chance of being selected to the space force. It's not like navy or marine option, all space force selects dont find out until their 3rd or 4th year and go through all training as an Air Force cadet. In fact, you dont get the space force name tape and lapel until after you commission, so even after cadets are selected for space force, they still wear the air force name tape.

[@navidjohn903]

Hey, my goal is to be an officer. I have 2.5 more years to complete my bachelor's degree. I'm not eligible for ROTC because I have less than three years to complete my degree. Should I enlist now in reserve or complete my degree and join? I have heard that if you enlist the chances of making into an officer are very less, and also heard that students commissioning without ROTC or Academy is very less. Thank you!!

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

Navid John so I advise you to make a list of pros and cons. If you enlist into the reserves now you can gain some experience while finishing up your college and there are some reserve commissioning programs. But it’s not as easy as you think it would be to go from reserve to active duty. You would have to go to a recruiter and start the process all over again. And yes you’re correct the commissioning on the civilian side and enlisted side are both competitive. What is your degree in?

[@navidjohn903]

Space Nerd Confessions Thank you for the reply. My degree would be in Computer Information Systems.

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

Navid John well luckily CIS is a STEM degree so it is competitive for OTS. You can apply for OTS in a year out from graduating but like I said you can weigh out the pros and cons. Check out my other videos for more info on enlisted/officer and the OTS application process!

[@MattyZan]

For enlisted over the age of 31, what options are there to get to officer? Even without the scholarships, is ROTC still an option? Is that even possible with active duty?

[@guilhermepietro7178]

Does the ASCP requires Wing CC approval? Witch would be simpler to get approved to for an AD Enlisted Airmen ASCP or SOAR?? Thanks.

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

ASCP needs approval from immediate commander. Apply for both, nothing says that you can't!

[@lifeoftayjohnson5067]

Hey I’m enlisting the Air Force already with a degree ! Do you have any tips on when I should try to commission ?

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

You can apply as many times as you want. Start early to set your self up with a strong application. Take advantage of opportunities to set yourself apart and be a leader. You can apply as soon as a couple years in, also let your supervisor know about your end goal.

[@cade102712]

Why enlist with a degree? If I had one, no way I’d enlist. I’m enlisted now and want to go officer ASAP the treatment and money officers get beats anything enlisted has to offer

[@D8426-s3s]

@@cade102712 OTS via the civilian route is highly competitive, you need leadership experience / a solid package as they call the paperwork. The whole process takes about 18 months and there is no guarantee you will be chosen. That’s the reason some people with a degree choose to enlist first then commission.

[@evildin0o]

Is it possible to be in AFROTC without receiving a scholarship? I was told that there are ROTC programs and then there are ROTC classes. You can join ROTC classes and follow the ROTC course to completion without the need of a scholarship, supposedly..

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

not a martian yes absolutely!! These scholarship programs are not required to be involved with AFROTC.

[@vzp5138]

I have 73.5 college credits, I am 36 years and I will be starting the Air Force soon what is your recommendation about the path I should take

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

How will you be starting your USAF career?

[@vzp5138]

@@SpaceNerdConfessions as an Enlisted with E-3 rank.

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

@@vzp5138 I would take advantage of tuition assistance to get your bachelors degree for free if that is what your goal is. Then you can apply for OTS as soon as a year or two in if you want to go officer.

[@vzp5138]

@@SpaceNerdConfessions Yes, that’s what I want to do. Do you when I’m going to be able to use the tuition assistance program? Thanks again good vibes!

[@jorgejim28]

Do u have a say on what job u want to commission into? …i just finished my CAFF and I’m seriously looking into this. Also do you get Staff pay while in college?

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

Yes, you make a dream sheet where you rank your jobs that you are interested in. You can put as little as one job or up to 5 (potentially more). Also, I worked on my my degree while I was active duty so I was getting paid at my normal rate/rank.

[@kimberlysanchez595]

Is ASCP and SOAR only consider for AF active duty members or can I be in the Air National Guard

[@SpaceNerdConfessions]

kimberly sanchez yes active duty only! I’ll be doing more videos on scholarship programs, to include the guard/reserve. So stay tuned ❤️🇺🇸
