These sources and their respective percentages are OTS 25, Reserve Officer Training Corp 42 , Air Force Academy 15, and other 18 . OTS is a 14-week course that has the mission to lead, train, motivate, evaluate, and commission as second lieutenants candidates who attain Air Force officership standards in response to USAF and USAF Reserve requirements.
