The farther out we get, the more doubtful I am we'll ever see the back pay

We just received confirmation from our AFROTC region commander that stipends are increasing as follows:

Damn, so passes another one of the greats. I had always hoped to meet him in person but I guess I'll never get the chance now. Here's to him

Google is your friend, looking the regulation up yourself is usually far quicker and sometimes more accurate than asking a cadre member when looking for a basic overview of a program. Read Chapter 5 in AFROTCI 36-2012 for a basic explanation of how the program works.

I think they are referring to the fact that simply drawing a guaranteed 5-10% interest from a no risk bank account on that $1,098,900 would equal $50-100k/interest a year so its not as simple as multiplying the desired yearly income by the number of years you plan on living off it.

Just curious but speaking from a nonaviator perspective, whats the usefulness of a stereo headset in the cockpit? I would assume it has a use besides listening to music which is what I've always associated stereo with benefiting, piping different feeds to each channel perhaps?

Seeing how fast the last new cadet thread got off topic, I thought I would post a general request for any sage advice or comments some of you experienced types could offer, I've been following this forum for quite a while and have always appreciated the perspective of those who have BTDT. I'd really appreciate some perspective on ROTC program and what is and isn't really applicable to life in the real AF. I'm interested in competing for a pilot slot if all the medical requirements line up but definately understand the real chance of it not working out so any comments on interesting nonrated career fields I should look into would be welcome. If you have anything to offer the other new cadets who I'm sure will eventually find this post please add it to the threat or just send me a PM if you want to keep it off the forum. Thanks!

I had jaw surgery to correct an overbite. The surgery resulted in screws being put in to secure the bone as it grew back together. Would having those screws still in my jaw require any sort of wavier process?
