Answer 3

The objective of the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) is to qualify students for appointment as active duty second lieutenants in the United States Air Force. However, any student may enroll in the freshman/ sophomorelevel aerospace studies courses, and students may also enroll in the junior/seniorlevel courses with permission of the professor of Aerospace Studies.

UM-St. Louis offers the two and fouryear AFROTC programs through an agreement with  St. Louis University.

The four-year program is tailored for students with three or more years of undergraduate studies remaining. Student with junior standing or above may apply for entry into the twoyear program. Entry into the two-year program is competitive and is based on standardized test scores, academic major, gradepoint average, physical examination, personal interview with the professor of Aerospace Studies, and successful completion of a summer field training session at an Air Force base. Applicants must be fulltime students and must remain in good academic standing.



The AFROTC Program is divided into the General Military Course (GMC), the freshman/sophomore level curriculum; and the Professional Officer Course (POC), the junior/ senior level curriculum. The GMC covers two main themes; The Air Force Today and The Air Force Way. The courses of the POC emphasize the professional development of the future Air Force officer. The curriculum covers Air Force Leadership and Management and Preparation for Active Duty. Field trips to Air Force bases supplement classroom instruction and familiarize the cadet with Air Force operations and organization.

To be commissioned, AFROTC students/cadets must:

Pass a medical exam at a military medical facility.

  

Obtain a favorable evaluation on an Armed Forces personal history security investigation.

  

Flying applicants must complete commissioning requirements before age 261/2, and nonflying applicants must complete commissioning requirements by age 30. However, the age limit for nonflying applicants may be extended to age 35 for outstanding individuals.

  

Be of good character (as determined by a favorable record with law enforcement authorities).

  

Successfully complete all AFROTC course requirements.

  

Complete at least a baccalaureate degree.

Air Force ROTC textbooks are loaned to all AFROTC students without charge. Students in the POC will receive a monthly subsistence allowance of $150 per month for a maximum of 20 months, an Air Force uniform, in excess of $700 for the summer field training course, and a travel allowance to and from the training location.

Answer 4

it doesnt matter what age..you can take it in 9th-12th....

Answer 5

Your age doesn't matter to join ROTC in any branch. The only thing that matters at all is that you are above 18 when you graduate from the university you are at. They will not give a scholarship to anyone who wouldnt be of age upon graduation to join the military...tho I do not see how this is possible...
