Officer Training School ROKAF

The Officer Training School is a Republic of Korea Air Force commissioning program held at the Republic of Korea Air Force Education and Training Command, Jinju. It is a part of Basic Military Training Wing. The current Commander, Air Force Education and Training Command is Maj Gen Jaewon Yoon.

The OTS is the largest commissioning source in the ROKAF for junior officers, Korea Air Force Academy being second and ROTC third.

Interested applicants sit for the Air Force Officer Selection Test which covers college level topics related to the specific major areas one is applying. The undergraduate GPA and the Korean college entrance exam score are usually not considered. There are different admission quota for women, pilot candidates, academy lecturers, judge advocates and language specialists (also known as interpreter officers).

Excluding the first week of orientation, BOT is a 15-week course for college graduates pursuing a commission in the ROKAF. The platoon and flight leaders who are usually lieutenants and captains are responsible for much of the in-processing and administration for the orientation week. The class is organized into the OT Wing, OT Squadrons (usually three)),and OT Flights (one or more per squadron depending on class size). BOT classes are designated by numerical sequence of their graduation (e.g., Class 108 means 108th Class). Trainees are given ranks of officer candidate.

Typically, personnel applying to BOT have baccalaureate level degrees in either technical or non-technical fields. Technical fields may include Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and other fields in high demand by the Air Force. Non-technical degrees are more common, and therefore applying with a degree in such a field is very competitive. Applicants can apply for rated or non-rated positions. Rated positions are flying related -- Pilot, Navigator, or Air Battle Manager. Non-rated fall into 2 categories: non-rated ops, such as Intelligence or Weather, and non-rated support, such as Maintenance, Logistics, or Communications.
