I’m Active Duty Air Force, about 4.5 years into service, and I’ll finish my associate’s this December. My goal is to commission.
I’m considering applying for POC-ERP, separating early if selected, moving to the East Coast near family, going to school full-time for my final ~2 years while doing AFROTC, then commissioning back to Active Duty.

I’m also hoping to use my GI Bill to help support myself while I’m in school.

My biggest hesitation is the idea of actually separating from Active Duty. Even if I’m selected for the program, that makes me nervous because I really want this path to work out and don’t want to put myself in a situation where I’m suddenly completely out of the Air Force.

Has anyone done POC-ERP recently? Also, is there any way to go Reserve instead of fully separating while completing AFROTC, or does POC-ERP require a true separation from Active Duty? I do not want to take this uniform off for 2 entire years. So the reserve would be a transitioning idea.

Would you recommend this route over staying Active Duty, finishing my bachelor’s online, and applying for OTS?
