DS, VMI '19, AROTC, got first pic, Branching Aviation!
Is there a list anywhere of the abbreviations for the branches. I did google it but couldn’t find OD.
The percentage of Combat Arms Branch Allocations given to WP seems high but I do not have any historical perspective.And found this posted in the West Point Branching thread:

And that percentage will increase by 5% each year until it hits 90% for class of 2022..The percentage of Combat Arms Branch Allocations given to WP seems high but I do not have any historical perspective.
WP increased the percentage branched to Combat Arms (Old term) this year by about 5%.
And that percentage will increase by 5% each year until it hits 90% for class of 2022..
Here is a list.
Air Defense Artillery (AD)
Adjutant (AG)
Armor (AR)
Aviation (AV)
Civil Affairs (CA)
Chemical (CM)
Engineers (EN)
Field Artillery (FA)
Finance (FI)
Infantry (IN)
Military Intelligence (MI)
Military Police (MP)
Ordnance (OD)
Quartermaster (QM)

Nurse Corps (AN)

I guess if your goal is a branch something other then combat arms, WP may not be the right choice.
