Thought all OTS grads were reserve commission then when promoted to captain they were usually made regular.
That’s how I remember it decades ago when I was in OTS. . .back in the day when Orville and Wilber gave guest lectures. . .
That’s exactly how it WAS. Not that way anymore. I had a friendly disagreement with my son on this. I said the same thing you did, but he assured me things have changed. They are ALL regular officers now. Since I was an enlisted guy, I really couldn’t have cared less whether a guy was a regular or reserve officer. They were all the same to me.

check out chapter 2, second paragraph. It spells it all out. My son was right. I was wrong.
Since I was enlisted, I gave him an earful on the enlisted troops. I think he knows the USAF couldn’t operate without the enlisted troops. After all, they do all the work. 😁
