got my number one
A divination from Big Bear's posts reveals...a blue cord and crossed rifles
My son got his first choice, Aviation. There were a lot of nervous cadets when the slots dropped to 88, but it was all worth it when he opened that envelope! He is very, very happy
Here is the breakdown of Branching Night for the USMA class of 2015.
Cyber - 15
TOTAL - 1016
can anyone clarify what happens next for these 15?
I believe BOLC, or a 17A qualification course since the Army is accepting officers to transfer into the Cyber branch, is in the works at Ft Gordon, the new Cyber Center of Excellence and home to the Cyber School. Since it is still early for the branch, I'm not sure how much they are piggy-backing off the existing Signal BOLC.

Curious question for anyone at USMA who may know. These cadets that branched Cyber at USMA, did they (or do they) do any type of research or cyber academic stuff with the Cyber Institute at USMA? Wasn't sure if they've been focusing on cyber related stuff in the hopes of the branch being established or just decided to go for the new branch. Only curious since I've been reading a little about Cyber since I know nothing and saw that in addition to the Cyber branch standing up, they established the Army Cyber Institute at WP. Seems interesting

All I know was that preference was given for kids that were IT majors or otherwise very involved with the cyber program here

Congratulations to all the cadets at the USMA.
My 2018 cadet just mentioned that he's now interested in Air Defense Artillery (6 months ago he said Field Artillery). I realize he may change his mind again in the next two years, but out of curiosity, based on the numbers above, is ADA more competitive than FA or less competitive/desirable?
