I read this quote on another board, I realize that everything heard these days is only second hand but I found it interesting.
Things are going to be real different next year. I'll be real interested in seeing how they work the branch/major part of accessions, curious as to what majors will go with Infantry, Armour, Field Artillery, Ordinance, and such.
The Final Exam for ROTC along with all the other testing will be a real switch from the current system.
My guess is that since they don't release the OML anymore, they just put the names in a big hat and start pulling them out, would cut down the number needed to sort through all the accession packets.
Just got back from Knox after CULP and we had a General brief us. LDAC will be now replaced with CLC which will consist of standardized tests, a lot of garrison, and only a few days of patrolling. Most of the accessions will come from the GRE, Miller's Analogy Test, and a College Aptitude Test as well as a final ROTC exam administered at Knox. GPA will count for much less and there will be much, much lest emphasis on tactics. To quote the general "The days of running around campus with a rubber duck are over." Also for accessions they are looking at making your branch orientated towards what you majored in, although they did not really explain how that would be determined. Welcome to peacetime army.
