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

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...

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...

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...

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...

Has anyone heard anything about how they are planning to handle this, or know when the cadets can expect to hear something. Cadre has indicated last week to DS that a decision had been made already and that they would be announcing something today. Curious as to if anyone else heard that or...

DS heard that there’s a good chance camp will be cancelled for the MS3s who were supposed to go this summer. Has anyone heard anything at all other than what was shared a week or so ago? Any thoughts on whether they may still have Army internships if they were scheduled later in the summer...

DS will be doing an internship with the Army Corps of Engineers I’m Albuquerque this summer. He’s an MS3 with a major in environmental engineering. Anyone had any experience with engineering internships in general or even with this location? Just wondering what he can expect Thanks

DS wants us to visit for family day and graduation for advanced camp. If we go we will need to stay for 3 nights since it’s such a long drive for us. Is it worth it? Suggestions as to where to stay (reasonably priced). Thanks

I apologize if this has already been addressed. My app hasn’t been working for a few days so I decided to try deleting and reinstalling it. But now I can’t find it in the App Store. Did something change? Maybe the name? Thanks for your help

DS is an ML 3 and applied for a couple of army internships for this summer. Does anyone know when he will find out if we was successful? Thanks

DS asked his cadre this but didn’t get an answer. I know that typically they use your grades through the end of junior year for your OML points. Is that still the case if you have been approved to graduate in 4.5 years (engineering major). DS is half way through his junior year and was wondering...

I know I have seen some posts on the new branching system for AROTC but I’m still not clear as to how it works. DS is a junior and is telling me he has to put in his preferences for branching now already. I believe in the past this was done after camp / junior year at which point they would know...

This may seem trivial but this site has been so helpful in the past I figured I’d ask anyway. Has anybody had experience with CULP in Guatemala. If so do you know if WiFi is a available when they are at the military academy? DS will be going in July and while I don’t expect frequent...

Will dropping a class (getting a w grade) have any effect on DS’s scholarship. He is struggling with his workload as a sophomore engineering student and feels he could improve his grades if he reduced his credits for this semester from 18 to 16. I told him to check with the cadre before doing...

Just wondering when cadets usually find out if they have been selected for any of the available summer schools. Thanks

I thought I had heard that you cannot branch directly in to military intelligence. Is that correct? Also if your goal is military intelligence does it matter what your major is? (DS is majoring in engineering- probably biomedical or environmental). Thanks!

Just wondering if the schools publish this to the cadets. DS is hoping for a summer training opportunity next summer and presumably where he stands on the OML will affect his chances of being selected. He feels that they are most likely going to give preference to the cadets that participate...

It does not appear that DS was selected for CULP. When he logs on it says all missions are full. He thinks it may be related to a delay in admin processing his security clearance. Is that possible? Are there any other opportunities for MS1s for the summer that he would still be eligible to...

DS is contracted MS1 and applying for CULP for next summer. He doesn't have a strong preference for a particular location. Apparently they have to select a continent. He's assuming that as a freshman he is unlikely to get Europe. Are there any regions that tend to be less popular and...
