There is no such thing as Air Force OCS...Army, Navy, and Marines call it OCS, but for some reason somebody decided to call ours OTS. OTS is where ALL Active Duty and Reserve Officers go before any other job related training starts (Unless they were in ROTC or the AF Academy). (Reserve non-flying officers may go to AMS instead of OTS). Think Basic Training but twice as long, with a million Powerpoint Presentations. This is not just for pilots...when I was there, there was about 1 pilot to every 8. I can't emphasize enough that you're an Officer first, pilot second; so the first few months of training you will not see an airplane, you will be fashioned into a Military Officer first...later in your flying career, you may be Squadron Commander, Director of Operations, etc.., if you lose your medical, you may have to take command of something not aviation related, so all officers in all career fields go to the same Military Education, OTS then later Squadron Officer School, Air Command Staff College, Air War College, you will get to know Montgomery, Alabama very well.Originally Posted by dubc15
ahh ok, so AMS and OTS are for officer training. so you would only actually get hours in the USAF OCS? is that competetive as well?
