Commissioned Officer Training School

In response to an article titled: So You Want to Become an Air Force Officer.

You forgot to mention the 4-week commissioned officer training school option. Officer Training School is divided in to Basic Officer Training (BOT) and Commissioned Officer Training (COT). Interested applicants, like my husband, typically contact Air Force recruiters if they are interested in becoming a commissioned officer. Recruiters will provide application details, and they will also schedule applicants for the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT) if necessary. This test covers assesses math, verbal, and analytical skills, as well as measures pilot and navigator potential. To have a reasonable chance at acceptance, either the AFOQT scores, college GPA, or previous pilot skills must be in good standing. Applicants will be given an opportunity to apply for Air Force career fields that correspond with the applicants' expertise or desires. My husband has a nursing degree, so he chose to remain an Emergency Room Nurse for the USAF. Applicants will be interviewed by active Air Force officers and will receive a medical examination. Applicants will be notified of acceptance or rejection by their recruiter. Applicants will enlist in the Delayed Enlistment Program, and will be assigned an officer training school class begin date.
