Over the fence
From USAFA Folklore
(Redirected from OTF)
OTF is cadet slang for "Over the Fence", synonymous with AWOL. If a cadet leaves the Academy reservation without having signed out on the Form 19, or has insufficient passes remaining to take liberty but decides to leave the base anyway, or leaves during the duty day or at another unauthorized time, he is OTF. Cadets who are on probation or restriction are not allowed to leave the base at all, so they are automatically OTF if they try to leave.
The giant black fence erected in 2004 surrounding the Cadet Area has made the meaning of OTF quite literal.
