How difficult is it to get a field training slot in AFROTC?
I'm looking to start my sophomore year this fall, I wasn't in the AS100 classes but I am prior-service so hopefully I can get the first year waved. I have a 3.3 GPA, and 90+ on my PT tests. I'm looking into attending CU Boulder and being a member of Detachment 105. I may not make fall semester due to a 13 week TDY, if that were to happen, is it possible to join ROTC in the Spring semester and then go to Field Training the very next summer?

Ask the PAS. I served 28 years (I went through AFROTC but received my commission in the Navy after graduate school-At the Convenience of the Service)and am now retired, At the time I was in AFROTC prior service personnel were able to waive AS 1 and 2. However, they had to attend AS 3 before going to Summer Camp (FTU) so I do not know if this is possible without the two semesters of AS-3. I knew one guy that went through AS 1, 2 and 3 and FTU. He then enlisted in the Army. When he got out of the Army he went back to college for a while to get his degree(three semesters I think) and enrolled in Army ROTC. They waived Summer Camp but he had to double up and take both advanced years of Army ROTC. He ws both Ranger and Airborne qualified and this may have had something to do with it. However, I remember some guys that were in graduate school that were commissioned at the end of FTU and then returned to campus to complete their graduate degrees before going on active duty. So anything is possible and they may even make up some of the rules as they go. For the most current info talk to someone on the detachment, the PAS if possible and tell him what is on your mind.
