JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) -- A total of
228 men and women from across America have earned an opportunity to become Air
Force leaders following their selection for an officer's commission, officials
announced March 20.
Air Force Recruiting Service officials considered 453
applications as part of the Officer Training School Rated Selection Board
15OT01. With the board's selection rate of 50.33 percent, 228 applicants were
selected to serve as Air Force officers. Also, of the 228 selected, 50 enlisted
members earned the chance to attend OTS and trade their stripes for gold bars
as second lieutenants.

As part of the selection process, board members review both
objective and subjective factors.
Objectively, the board considers each applicant's academic
discipline, grade point average and Air Force Officer Qualifying Test scores.
Subjectively, board members evaluate work experience,
accomplishments, adaptability, character, leadership ability, potential for
future growth and other recommendations. For active-duty enlisted members,
performance reports and commanders' recommendations are also evaluated.
Three Air Force colonels review every application. The
selection process is similar to an Air Force officer promotion board. No single
factor leads to an individual's selection or non-selection, according to OTS
selection officials.
Candidates selected can expect to attend OTS at Maxwell Air
Force Base, Alabama, in 2016.
For more information concerning OTS and the application
process, active-duty members should visit the officer training website on the
Air Force Portal; civilians should contact the nearest Air Force recruiter.
