Hey Everyone,
I'm going to be in the Army ROTC program this year as a freshman and just had a question about commissioning. If a cadet successfully graduates the program at the end of their senior year of college, how does that cadet get placed as an officer into whatever branch they do.
I've heard of cadets earning points throughout the program, which help them become competitive over other cadets. So when earning a commission, does it depend on the needs of the army? Or does it depend on how competitive you are against the hundreds of other army rotc students being commissioned?
On a side note: I'm pursuing a degree in Aerospace Engineering and would like to become an Intelligence or Army Corp of Engineers Officer.
Thanks.
