Info on OTS (Officer Training School)

Guest_pp171_* 24 Aug 2011

I've got a question, I was disenrolled form AFROTC for not getting an EA for FT 2011. I got a 6, "Other Remarks" on my DD form 785. My GPA was a 2.65 at the time of the PSP board. But now I have a 2.9 after a strong spring and summer sessions, and hope to get a above 3.0 after the fall semester. Does having a DD form 785 disquallify me for AF OTS or TDSP, and how well do I stand for it? I scored a 56 pilot 77 Nav 62 AA 25 Verbal 87 Quanitative on my first try on my AFOQT/

Is a PFT required before being selected for OTS (factoring into your PCSM score like it does in ROTC), or is that not part of your package?

No. For OTS, there is no PT requirement for entry. The first PT work you'll do will be after arriving. However, they expect you to be in pretty good shape when you arrive so that doesn't mean you can live on the couch swilling beer and donuts prior to arrival (although that does have its enjoyment factor...). The exception might be if you're an AD entry...your losing base may want you to have a current PFT before PCSing. That would be their rule, though, not an OTS rule.

Thanks for the info! I'm a former ROTC cadet and I didn't have any trouble with the PFT, so I'm not stressing over it - just curious.

I'm at OTS right now. Feel free to message me or open the thread to discussion.

Also, looks like 13-04 will be the first Active Duty OTS class to begin the 9 week program.

Cheers!
