Is AFROTC Field Training exactly like AF BMT or are there major differences? Also, what are you trained in and how long does it last?

No, it's not exactly like BMT. BMT is more focused on telling you what to do and how to do it. In FT you need to think a little more. Duration is 4-6 weeks depending on how much of AFROTC you have attended. See AFROTC.com for more info.

Your MEPS physical takes place approximately one year prior to commissioning.

Just like coolgreany said, at FT, they're really focusing on thinking / leadership skills. Doing so under pressure is a large part of the training. During the first week or two, one of the big focuses was on IDE (individual drill evaluation) where you march a group around, but you're restricted to a small patch of ground, a specific time limit, and to a set sequence of commands that have to be completed without breaking the border. You'll also have the opportunity to have flight / squadron / wing leadership positions. In the end, it becomes the best time you never want to have again.

"Field Training: Mandatory fun with designated friends." It sucks while you are there but when you look back on it you realized that you had a ton of fun and learned more than you can comprehend.
