For the incoming class of 2022, you have quite a large class. This puts the academy at 97% capacity, not including those who hold over from sea. If you do not pass the BCA on day zero of indoc, word is immediately sent to the commandants office for dissmisal or setback. Not passing the first PRT and especially the BCA puts you at high risk of dismissal especially for the class of 2022. Good luck
Source... other than the KP rumor mill? Isn't 97% capacity a good thing considering the fact that people usually drop pretty quickly during indoc....
I suspect this has more to do with the medical issues from last year.
We will be at capacity for the first few months or so because they are going to renovate First Company. Which means that all of first company will be living on the flight decks of fourth and fifth. And those two companies will be condensed to main and second decks of both buildings. And also some will be spread out into the other companies, i.e a few going to second and third company until complete. Practically everyone from every class will have a roommate until the renovations are done.
It appears that they are trying to not have a repeat of the new furniture situation that happened to fourth and fifth companies right after winter break this year.
