However, it possesses the capability to surge when USAF requirements dictate and exceed the combined annual officer production of both USAFA and AFROTC. Given its shorter lead time for officer production (currently 8.5 weeks versus the typically 4-year pre-commissioning process for <a href="/wiki/USAFA" class="mw-redirect" title="USAFA">USAFA</a> and <a href="/wiki/AFROTC" class="mw-redirect" title="AFROTC">AFROTC</a> cadets), OTS is the commissioning source used to balance out USAF officer manning as deemed necessary by the Air Force.<sup id="cite_ref-thebalance.com_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-thebalance.com-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The number of officers commissioned through OTS fluctuates considerably as their numbers are largely influenced by the number of graduating cadets through the USAF Academy and AFROTC, as well as being the first place the Air Force cuts when they have a surplus of cadets through the other two sources.

Previously a 13-week program later reduced to 10 weeks, the renamed TFOT track transitioned to a 9-week program in 2014 and the legacy system of Officer Trainees (OT) being designated as lower classmen in the early part of the program and upper classmen in the latter part, similar to their <a href="/wiki/USAFA" class="mw-redirect" title="USAFA">USAFA</a> and <a href="/wiki/AFROTC" class="mw-redirect" title="AFROTC">AFROTC</a> counterparts, was eliminated. This was further reduced to the current 8-week program in 2017 by removing the Total Force Indoctrination Training (TFIT) from the first week of the course in which Military Training Instructors (MTIs) would teach the customs and standards of the Air Force as well as the basics of marching and drill and ceremonies. Officer Trainees were also re-designated as Cadets in 2015, again on par with USAFA and AFROTC and reminiscent of the <a href="/wiki/Aviation_Cadet_Training_Program_(USAAF)" title="Aviation Cadet Training Program (USAAF)">Aviation Cadet</a> program in operation in <a href="/wiki/USAF" class="mw-redirect" title="USAF">USAF</a> and its predecessor incarnations (e.g., <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army_Air_Service" title="United States Army Air Service">USAAS</a>, <a href="/wiki/USAAC" class="mw-redirect" title="USAAC">USAAC</a>, <a href="/wiki/USAAF" class="mw-redirect" title="USAAF">USAAF</a>, etc.) from 1907 until 1965.

OTS-A serves all Regular Air Force, Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard non-line officers (except for Reserve and Air National Guard health professionals as noted below) and judge advocates who did not previously serve as line officers in other career fields or who were not commissioned via USAFA or AFROTC. </p><p>OTS and OTS-A are conducted as parallel training programs.

The AFOQT covers numerous test batteries assessing math, verbal, and analytical skills, as well as measuring pilot and navigator/combat systems officer potential for those applicants aspiring to be aeronautically rated officers. AFOQT scores, college GPA, previous enlisted performance evaluations if a current or former enlisted member, and, if applicable, previous pilot skills as either an FAA-certified civilian pilot and/or as a <a href="/wiki/U.S._Army" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Army">U.S. Army</a> <a href="/wiki/Warrant_officer" title="Warrant officer">warrant officer</a> / <a href="/wiki/Army_Aviator" class="mw-redirect" title="Army Aviator">Army Aviator</a> will all figure into the selection process, although the selection process strives to employ a composite or "whole person" approach. </p><p>OTS applicants will be given an opportunity to apply for Air Force career fields that correspond with the applicants' expertise and/or desires and will be interviewed by active duty Air Force officers as well as receive a military medical examination for flying or non-flying duty as appropriate.

Non-prior service college graduates will enlist in the rank of Airman 1st Class (E-3) while prior service enlisted personnel will be enlisted in their current or highest prior pay grade. Upon arrival at OTS, all personnel will be advanced to pay grade E-5 (unless prior enlisted already holding a higher pay grade), but will hold the rank of Officer Trainee versus USAF Staff Sergeant. </p><p>Selection for OTS is highly competitive, with selection rates varying dependent on the needs of the Air Force. For example, boards conducted circa 2010–2012 had selection rates in the 20% range due to budgetary reductions / force reductions being imposed on the Air Force at that time. However, by 2017, selection rates had increased to the 65% range or greater, reflecting the increased commissioned officer needs of the service.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Officer_Training_Course">Officer Training Course</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Air_Force_Officer_Training_School&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Officer Training Course"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Per <a href="/wiki/Air_Force_Instruction_(AFI)" class="mw-redirect" title="Air Force Instruction (AFI)">Air Force Instruction (AFI)</a> 36-2013, personnel attending Officer Training School's 8-week program must have a <a href="/wiki/Bachelor%27s_degree" title="Bachelor's degree">baccalaureate level degree</a> or higher<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> in either technical or non-technical fields.
