I’m not a cadet. I’m a mom LOL. Trying to get info from kids can be challenging. Just curious...

Hi. Just wondering how a cadet’s OML score now plays into branching, with the new talent based branching system. Thanks!

Apparently they are working to try to get approval for him. They originally made it seem like he was all set.

Hi this has been approved now by his cadre. Is there anything else he needs to do/know since this seems to contradict what you said? UOTE="Montana State Army ROTC, post: 744385, member: 42269"] Common sense x 30,000 cadets is alot of paperwork. Moving from December Earlier to May also...

He has been in touch with 3 people from the cadre. Waiting to hear back on some questions

DS is in a similar situation BUT in his case he was approved for 4.5 years and is looking to graduate in 4. So from a cost perspective he would be asking the Army to pay for summer classes INSTEAD of a 9th semester... would actually save them money ...

With all summer training cancelled DS is considering taking online summer classes instead. This means he would graduate “on time” in May of next year instead of December as originally planned. However he is not sure if he would be allowed to do that, primarily because it would change his...

I couldn’t seem to open those links. His main interests right now are Corp of engineering or signals. Likelihood of being branch detailed for those? How competitive are they? Thanks

That was kind of my point. Since at this point he is only planning 4 years branch detailing didnt seem like a good option

So it seems advanced camp is now officially cancelled. More training during senior year with details to follow.

Thanks for both of your inputs. He has a strong desire to serve and was planning to join ROTC even if he hadn’t received a scholarship. It was never about the money to him. He just only wants to commit 4 years or so at this point. I personally think the Army might be a good fit for him and...

Thanks. I was just using MI as an example and understand the needs of the Army. As of now he is only planning to serve 4 years so was hoping to do so in a branch that really interests him. (His first choice will actually be Engineer). I get the benefits of doing something else first if you...

Hi. Just curious as to how this works... If a cadet selects a branch with a high likelihood of being branch detailed (such as MI) do they get any say in whether they are willing to be branch detailed. In other words can they put for example MI down as a top choice for branch preference but...

Unfortunately not true. At least one of DS’s professors has reiterated that he doesn’t even mathematically round up grades. An 89.99 is still a B.

DS was supposed to do an army internship this summer but it was cancelled due to COViD. He has just been given an opportunity to do a regular internship. Wondering if this type of experience would have any impact on his OML score. He is hoping to go active duty so not so important to him as...

Nothing yet. I understand that everything is up in the air for a lot of people right now. My frustration is that on 2 separate occasions Cadet Command has provided these kids with dates on when to expect an update. Both of those dates have now come and gone and nothing. I have a hard time...

Pink Floyd. But only because Bowie doesn’t count as a band.

And they just posted that they still haven’t made a decision. Making it tough for these kids to make any kind of plans... summer jobs, online summer college classes etc...

Still haven’t heard anything? Anyone have any info yet?

I know that your GPA can have a big impact in OML points. My question is - is there a chart that shows how GPA converts to OML points? GPA of 3.8 = x number of OML points. DS believes that at a high GPA even very small differences can have a big impact on OML points. Just curious as to how...
