My Air Force ROTC cadre says that it is possible, but that they’re not sure if I’m allowed to accept the scholarship benefits that I got from basic, i.e. the MGI kicker, the 20k enlistment bonus, the STA. I haven’t actually applied/accepted any of it yet, but it’s all in my contract and I was planning on using it to pay for my degree. Any tips or advice? My original contract was for 6 years of enlisted service to National Guard and it was going to be overridden by army ROTC to allow me to go active duty upon commissioning. But now I have to separate with DD form 368(?). I’m a bit lost in the madness, does anyone have knowledge or experience with this process?

It’s very similar to the Transition to Army ROTC. Just a few additional things to cover along the way.

Keep in mind that it is completely up to your state to release you and they may not do so because of your enlistment incentives. If they do release you, you will be paying back all money you received from enlisting.

They have an Apache Bn and a Blackhawk Bn in the state If you pass the flight physical you will have many opportunities to fly and you will keep your education benefits. Many of their pilots also fly for Delta and other airlines for their civilian jobs and if you want to pursue an airline career they can help you in that area also CPT Brad Wilson Sun, 24 May 2020 12:41:00 -0400 2020-05-24T12:41:00-04:00 2020-05-23T10:47:25-04:00
