I posted on the big changes on page 5 of this thread. Big things were the elimination of the dead zone/use of DABM and garaunteed active duty programs for those in certain degrees with a 2.75+ so long as they ADSO for a certain branch. The accessions rep also mentioned the AD mission for 2014. I forget if it was the same as last year, but it was just shy of 3,000. I have the exact number written down somewhere.
e: to hit on the way the dead zone change is supposed to work, it was explained that you get your three branch looks the same as last year. The dead zone after the branch fills to (55% capacity? I forget) and then opening back up for the bottom half of the OML is gone. Now, that remainder goes to the DA branching model.
So say I'm at the 45th percentile of the OML. My top three are AV, IN, and AR. Say all of those close out at the 40th percentile. So I get my three looks, and get tossed into the DABM. Now how it works from there was somewhat murky. Supposedly the model looks at your first three choices again, so you get another bite at the apple.
