From what I can gather:
1. AD=Air Defense
2. AG=Adjutant General
3. AR=Armor
4. AV=Aviation
5. CM=Chemical Corps
6. CY=Cyber
7. EN=Engineers
8. FA=Field Artillery
9. FI=Financial
10. IN=Infantry
11. MI=Military Intel
12. MP=Military Police
13. MS=Medical Corps
14. OD=Ammo, Mech. Maintenance, Ordinance
15. QM=Quartermaster
16. SC=Signal Corps
17. TC=Transportation Corps
I get infantry, but what is it about field artillery? It definitely needs it's own emoji; something that goes like this!
Is this the total of all AROTC cadets that will commission in 2018?Branch Allocation for the Class of 2018
(NOTE: 70 percent of the Class of 2018 branched combat arms [77 percent of males and 41 percent of females].)
AD - Air Defense Artillery
AR - Armor
AV - Aviation
EN - Engineering
FA - Field Artillery
IN - Infantry
AG - Adjutant General
CM - Chemical
CY - Cyber
FI - Finance
MI - Military Intelligence
MP - Military Police
MS - Medical Services
OD - Ordnance
QM - Quartermaster
SC - Signal Corps

As in why do so many people branch FA?
On a separate note, and stirring the pot, but still not sure why Air Defenders call themselves artillery....
And for combat arms branch options artillery crews are usually miles behind the front lines . . .
But they do call it the Queen of battle for good reason.

In the past FA and EN were more popular. A couple years ago I took a casual look at the branches of LT's killed in GWOT - a lot more FA than I would have guessed.
