I was reading One Bullet Away by Nathaniel Fick and it says infantry slots out of TBS are very competitive to get. Is this true?
Yeah, pretty true. I have a couple friends going through it right now. Here's my basic understanding of how it works down there:
The way you're ranked in TBS is different from the Academy. Here, they just start at the top and go down when it comes to service selection. At TBS, each class is split into thirds. So, for example, say you have 150 in your company (large, I know) and come MOS selection, there are 15 Infantry slots. Assuming EVERYONE puts it as their first choice, those who are ranked 1-5, 50-54, and 100-104 will get Infantry. So, even if you're SH and highly ranked, you may not get Infantry. Of course, there are probably some other intangibles in there besides rank that may play a role as well.
Whats TBS?
