4. 4060 Notes • The Overall Recommendation of “3” can be misconstrued as ALO ambivalence, gets a “special look” (rec using “4” or “2”—fully justifying both) • “Compelling Interest” & unconventional leadership • AFROTC Forms on local website: (www.southtexasalo.org) • Civil Involvement (Form 35) • Drug Use Form • AFROTC checklist helpful, too • Follow instructions on 4060 as to where to send forms • Have ALL USAFA candidates sign forms when you interview • Height and weight

5. The Plan • e • Added 50+ schools (now have 501 schools across our 50,000 sq/mile area) • All ALOs will cover schools area-wide • Some form of comm with all • Mentor, counsel, and prepare all candidates for interview (e-mail, phone, Skype) • For 4060: almost all will be in San Antonio at some point—interview there; else we will look at “en masse” interview dates downrange • Willing to “balance” load across ALOs • Encourage students to complete early!
