USAF Officer Training School | HPSP | 21-05

HPSP from COT 06-05. I don’t regret a single second of my time - I went into emergency medicine, and still love it.

[@TheAlsoArchives]

This is so encouraging to hear! I am really looking forward to where my career takes me in the years to come.

[@mdmarko]

A flight of...twelve. As a second lieutenant about forty years ago, commanded a flight of eighty, and knew second lieutenants in other places who commanded flights of many more. Looks like everyone had fun, my best to these doctors and nurses.

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Thank you so much for your comment! And thanks for your service as well.

[@ryanhauss2776]

I’m halfway through my undergrad and HPSP is definitely something I’ve been keeping my eye on. Thanks for the info and insight to what the training is like, definitely pushes me more that way.

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Hey Ryan! Thanks so much for watching! Glad it is inspiring! Please subscribe to my channel & share with any friends who may be interested !

[@enndii6554]

Same here ☝🏽

[@leilaniaiken8258]

Nice video! Been enlisted in the ANG 14 years and just submitted a package for commissioning. I hope I get selected so I can go to OTS and finish my career as an AF officer! Wish me luck!

[@johnridout6205]

I am so glad we have a different way of making Soldiers

[@pepeloco3062]

Wow gracias por ver tu experiencia en el ejercito. Thanks ( the air force).

[@reijiminato8762]

Awesome video regarding OTS! I’m a prior enlisted Sailor. Looking to go Army WOFT or Air Force OTS, eyeing the Pilot option for both. Maybe, I’ll also consider becoming either a Navigator or ABM in the Air Force. Looking to submit my packets for both, although I gotta take the AFOQT for the 2nd time. Thanks for this!

[@artfulcord]

All the videos ive seen of ots seem so laid back, its interesting to see another side of entry level training.

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Yep keep in mind we are only allowed to record certain parts of the training! So the more social fun times are typically what’s shown🙂

[@tiffanyd.8660]

I just got through Meps. Gotta submit a few medical waivers. I think it'll be okay though. I'm excited. I'm a little older, in my 30's. I'm going in as a Chaplain officer.

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Yes!! Congratulations. I don’t think we had any chaplain officers in my class, but we did have one JAG. I wish you all the best!

[@honesto8457]

Congrats, did you have any military experience ? I am in my 30’s looking to join as an officer, how did you do it?

[@Godsgurl_]

Me too!

[@instantramen1379]

Excellent Video!! I hope I get into OTS in 2022!

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Thank you so much! Hope it was insightful! Please share with anyone else you know who might be interested!

[@LT33190]

Great video! Does OTS accept non prior reservists for security forces? Thanks

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Hi, I am not sure who the process works for prior enlisted because I commissioned under HPSP which is a specific program!

[@gennyxox10]

do you have to be fit i can barely do a push-up . also someone once said that if you can't do half a mile run or a push up then they will take you out.

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Hey yes you do need to have some baseline level of fitness. At the very least being somewhat fit will give you a leg up when it comes time for PT testing. I practiced push ups, sit ups and the run almost every day for months leading up to OTS.

[@adriangaranzuay8713]

This is Air Force OTS in Maxwell?

[@jessicaq9271]

Did they bring back COT for certain AFSCs?

[@smeech5177]

Hi, I graduated from 2021. Unfortunately I haven’t found my footing with what I want to do. Until recently I would like to apply to OTS. Would it be too late for me to apply for the 2023 year, even after 2 years out from graduating my undergrad? I believe I missed the deadline /:

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Hey! I am not to familiar with the process to apply for OTS outside of the HPSP program for medical students. I would suggest contacting your local recruiter to inquire about the process ! Best of luck

[@JewelNicole]

Do HPSP recipients go through the standard officer training or is it a separate training school that is more summed up? There's not many people on here that talk about the training. I'm just trying to be more prepared and know what to expect. Thank you!

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Hey! HPSP students do a 5 week Officer training program vs the 8 week program for other non HPSP Officer trainees. So our program was more accelerated but we do most of the same activities!

[@JewelNicole]

@@TheAlsoArchives Awesome! Thank you.

[@TheAlsoArchives]

You’re welcome! Let me know if you have any more questions and please subscribe and share!

[@shudanielle6177]

I have one more year left until I get my bachelors degree. Should I be talking to a recruiter now if I want to become an officer in the air force after graduation?

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Hey! I say it’s never too early to meet with a recruiter. The earlier the better. I was in contact with my recruiter at least 6 months to a year prior to my application.

[@Hidden_King_24]

General/dr. Alsobrookes is the best 😎😎😎😎

[@ajtamburino7622]

Do they not make you shave your hair for ots? It doesn’t look like any of the guys had to cut their hair off here.

[@TheAlsoArchives]

I al not too sure about the requirements for the guys! I don’t remember seeing any guys with longer hair though

[@michaelhall8587]

how were you able to film your training?

[@TheAlsoArchives]

I was public affairs officer so I was able to take photos throughout the day during our experiences.

[@michaelhall8587]

@@TheAlsoArchives i assumed as much. that's awesome! maybe one day ill be accepted to come over from the enlisted side xD

[@CurtisB1011]

Great video!!!

[@julianquesada6933]

Very great video!

Thank you!

this is all fun and games

[@francisconeto390]

Hello, I am a nurse in Brazil in a few months I will get my green card to work in the USA, I wanted to know with the GC can I be a military nurse in the Air Force?

[@frendam3468]

You need a citizenship

[@bobafett_8922]

To be an officer, you will need to be a U.S. citizen, but you could be an enlisted nurse with a green card.

[@francisconeto390]

@@bobafett_8922 I didn't know I could be an enlisted nurse, I thought only officer.

[@bobafett_8922]

@francisconeto390 The closest thing to that would be aerospace medical service. I could be wrong, but that's something that may interest you.

Do you go through Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) while you’re in OTS

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Nope I believe that’s a whole separate process. I do not know anything about the pilot program!

[@gennyxox10]

also do they look upon each other like the med students with he med students

[@TheAlsoArchives]

It’s definitely a team effort! Being a leader at times is being a good follower!

[@levib4563]

What’s it like for Chaplain candidates? Do you go through with any chaplains?

[@TheAlsoArchives]

There were no chaplain candidates in my OTS class!

[@jamesalsobrooks9438]

Nice video!!!

[@judahmetz8254]

How hard is it to get intelligence officer?

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Not quite sure! That’s a different process than what I went through !

[@Floridarollin]

So just about everyone here has a BA degree, right? Sorry if this is a generalization lmao

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Yes I’m my class that was true we all had degrees because we were all incoming med students or doctors. We had one lawyer and one pilot.

[@Floridarollin]

@@TheAlsoArchives Oh thats actually pretty insane. Congrats to all of you for making it

[@CECE-sm1xy]

did you guys have to jump out of a plane or fly or anything?!😅

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Haha no we didn’t!!

[@훈파-s4d]

Are phones allowed to take to OTS??

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Your can bring it, but can’t be in use unless authorized

[@ceuser3555]

Sounds tough and hard, no thanks. Good for those who are brave enough to go through the madness though.

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Thanks for watching!

[@ceuser3555]

You’re welcome!

[@CecileSolange]

Were you forced to get the COVID vaccine? Also, did you have to take ASVAB? Last but not least, did you shower in the presence of other females and did you have your own room? Thanks in advance.

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Hey! The vaccine was not required at the time that I went but now it is required. ASVAB was not required for me because I commissioned under the HPSP scholarship for medical school. I am not sure if it is required in general to go to OTS. We were assigned 2 to a room but that was due to COVID restrictions. Typically there are 4 to a room with one shared restroom and shower. Hopefully this is helpful!

[@CecileSolange]

@@TheAlsoArchives Thank You!

[@kathytchio6578]

Hello Shanon, am glad I found this video I am interested in HPSP program. Do you have any advice and what I can do to make the application process smooth? Do you have TikTok or Ig for more questions? I will appreciate your advice. Thank you

[@TheAlsoArchives]

Sure my IG is @docalso. My best advice would be to reach out to current students and hear their perspectives on the program (like you are already doing!) and find a recruiter that can help answer more of the logistical questions along the way. The application process is somewhat tedious so you have to stay on top of things to get it done ! I would love to answer any specific questions you may have! Also my email is [e-mail]
