I'm not sure of the details. All I know is what he told me, which was that he went to OCS and he said they didn't have a pilot slot for him and offered him FAC, and that was from his mouth. I'm AF, not a marine so I wouldnt have known better. He said the reason why they didn't have a flight slot for him was because they were reducing pilot training numbers right when he came in. I dont know if he even started pilot training yet. I do know that when he got out he went to a civilian flying school, worked as a CFI for awhile (i flew with him for one lesson), and now is flying from a regional. I asked if he was in the reserves but he said no, completely out, no commitment. I thought it was odd that he would go through OCS and not have any commitment of any type, not even be in the reserves. But anyhow, when i was in AFROTC, up until the day of commissioning they were letting us out of any commitment without paying back a dime because of the whole Force Shaping program and also guys who quit UPT were also Force Shaped out, so i didn't him ask any questions beyond that, it sounded legit enough to me at the time. I know each service has their own policies but I didn't think to question him at the time.
