Hey everyone,

I have my AFROTC interview in a couple of weeks. Does anyone have any suggestions or things to look out for? Anything would be helpful!!!! Thanks!

Please for the love of God where a suit and tie...its so much more professional and it may make your life a lot easier.

Don't freak out, just stay calm and be honest. Be confident and don't think you'll do well, know you will. Good luck.

Yeah, if you were in JROTC I woul reccommend you wear Class A's but since you arnt wear the suit!!! Make a good impresion and dont slouch, Especially if you get a Base Officer (Major-Colonel) cause they really dont like disrespect or tolerate stuff much.

My suggestion is that you be honest. And I also would recommend wearing your JROTC uniform as stated above. Or a nice clean button up shirt and tie. As long as it makes you look professional, I wouldn't recommend going as far as getting a business suit, unless you feel the need to. Speak firmly, and in a mild- tone just enough so he/ she can understand what you are saying. Try to mix in a few big words that you know the meaning of, and use them in the proper way. Makes you sound smart! I hope this helps. Good Luck!

1. Stay cool and collect about it.

2. Wear something presentable, I wouldn't recommend a suit or a full uniform. Go with a button down and a tie.

3. Give it your best shot and say what you mean and mean what you say.

Good luck man, I hope that we all hear how it goes as soon as you are done.

Hey Everyone,

I just had my interview Friday with Lieutenant Colonel Taylor of detachment 410. It went very well and she was very nice. To anyone that has an interview simliar to mine I recomend dressing nice. I wore a dress pants new laceless shoes tie, everything short of a suit coat. She asked a variety of situational questions like how would you motivate a team your on, what types of pressure situations were you in and how did you handle them, etc. If anyone has any other questions about it just ask!

I'm glad to hear that it went well and that the inquisitor, if I may, was nice about everything. And glad to hear that you went with a casual business type of wear. I'm sure I'll be speaking with these interviewers in the coming year, so I'll probably talk with you more when that time comes. But that's good news, and it sounds like you are in a good position right now.

I would assume that by base officer you mean, Field Grade Officer?

Either way, whenever going to an interview you should wear the appropriate attire. When interviewing for something such as an ROTC program you want to make the best impression possible. So find a good suit, make sure you get a haircut and shave that morning. This will help give you the most professional appearance and let the interviewer know you are serious about the program.
