Thanks for the reply to my message below. I try to not bug my ds too much. He stays pretty busy between school, rotc, and a girlfriend, so we don't talk a lot but he did call last night. He said, he didn't not get a CSO slot, but he is just an alternate for a UPT slot. I guess whoever told him said that he could be put in a CSO slot if he didn't get a UPT slot...which I am just guessing since he mentioned a CSO slot. Again, I am a little lost but he will get what he gets I guess. Anyway, I was wondering if he does not get a slot anywhere then what happens to him. Also, since he is an alternate, is he considered one of the 90 who didn't get a rated slot. A girl in their ROTC detachment got a RPA slot and she said she was going to ask to go before the next board and my son said he might too. I don't think it works that way, but I guess their cadre will tell them you get what you get. Thanks for all your help!
