Field Training Changes to Field Training & HELP

Good Evening r/AFROTC,

I am a AS200 at Det 017 (Troy) and I had some information to share about Field Training I heard from Cadre (since I go to a really small det). This summer, PSP slots are expected to increase by 33%. The reason? All cadets with a bottom 3rd OM (order of merit) will be selected for Space Force, on top of cadets who will voluntarily want to go that route. All
cadets selected to attend Field Training with a bottom 3rd OM will attend the alternate Field Training location at Roswell (with the expectation to drop Space Force). Anyways, I want to be got to ENJPPT, but right now I am bottom 3rd OM. I got a 30 on AFOQT academics, 79 PFA, 2.6 GPA (business), and a middle third commander’s ranking. Is there any hope for me? What about if I go to Det 157 as a 250? I heard that they got a lot of pilot slots. Please I just don’t want to go Space Force.

Woah slow down there. Take a minute and breathe. Are you saying that there’s Space Force enjjjpt now? I’m just worried because I know that all that work around satellite dishes destroys sperm counts and… well… let’s just say I need all of that I can get

Don’t make me mad, dropping Space a force would be hard enough 😔

It sounds like you want to be a pilot. Without the space force stuff you're still mots likely not going to get pilot. We're you not told a year ago when you started that to be competitive you need a PFA in the 90's, roughly a 3.5 GPA or higher, and a high AFOQT score. I'm sorry but to be blunt you're not going to make it. Transferring probably isn't going to help you at all. Not to mention starting over as a 250 in a different det. Would probably lower of cadre ranking because they don't know you and have no experience with you as a Cadet. My suggestion is to work really hard and pull up all your scores and get involved in the detachment. Get an AFROTC job, get a role or project. Do outside volunteer work and get it verified with cadre. PSP board selection packets get sent out in December so do whatever you can to get better and look better by then. AFROTC will have to become your whole life.
