Yesturday I discovered I received an EA for field training......And so did 93% of all other applicants. Comparing these staggering results to previous years, something isn't right.
My theory: They are re-doing how officership is earned. Instead of weeding us out before field training, they will do so during field training. I feel this way because our cadre informed us that if we fail the PFA, FTM, or any other test we will be cut (unlike prior years). So maybe the standards are higher and they accepted so many applicants because they are counting on a few hundred dropping out. I'm sorry if this sounds so pessimistic
What do you guys think?
