Congratulations to him and your family. I was watching the live stream of branch night. The NU stats sounded like most cadets got top choices. My son did say there were a few who got branches way down on thier list.@banjoppd I remember you’re a Norwich dad, so thought I would share my Norwich Senior’s Branching experience. MP: Infantry, Armor and Field Artillery. Got his first choice of Armor. As I’ve mentioned on the forum before, the kid is a B/C student so GPA was not great. But he’s a PT stud, O at camp and scored well in the leadership section. Of his close friend group, 4 got first choice, 1 got second choice (Bradso), 1 got third choice. (all received most preferred for their branch) Much happiness all around.
My son was not selected for CTLT most likely because of his low gpa. His lack of concern about his gpa has been an ongoing issue since middle school and I gave up years ago. But it all worked out fine. He took a summer school class online and worked a PT job where he saved money to go to Europe with his buddies and tour Biergartens, uhm I mean historical sites.Congratulations to him and your family.

My kid is very similar to yours. B/C grades but he's a PT is top block too. The new ACFT is better suited for my son, played skill position on football at NU for 2 years. AC this summer. Did your son go to CTLT after camp? When do they find out about report date for camp?
My DS goes to Norwich (freshman) so my husband and I watched the branch night livestream. It was awesome! There was so much excitement for each senior and such a great way to announce each one. You could feel the love and happiness in the auditorium. Best of luck to your son, I’m sure Norwich prepared him well for the army!@banjoppd I remember you’re a Norwich dad, so thought I would share my Norwich Senior’s Branching experience.
