In the past your WP class standing was the sole basis for branch selection. The Army provided a number they needed for each branch and the #1 Cadet got his/her choice, then #2 on and on. At some point in the process, a branch would meet its quoto so the next Cadet in line could only choose from the remaining branches. Normally, the bottom of the class would be forced into whatever branch had not been filled.
This process is now in flux. Now there is an effort to look at the person, and the needs of the branch in selection. However, class standing still plays a big role in getting the branch you want. I understand that this process is being reviewed and tweaked so it is uncertain exactly how it will be done for the class of 2013. However, it is fair to say that - in general - a person high in the class will probably get the branch they want and the people low in the class probably will not. However, most generalizations are normally untrue including this one. |

I've also heard this one: "There's Transpo (Transportation Corps for you non-military types
) and there's the people we drive."

Yes, those are the 16 + Nursing. There are a few more, but they aren't available immediately for an O1. Some that come to mind are Civil Affairs (PR), Medical Doctors, Dentists, Veterinarians, Military Lawyers, etc.

Civil Affairs is NOT "PR." PR in the Army is called Public Affairs. Civil Affairs is a USASOC branch responsible for civil capacity-building in foreign nations.
