I am wondering if someone can help me understand the OML and Branching for cadets.
I have a freshman cadet who has always wanted to join the ROTC. However, now he is reconsidering and its because of the military cuts. He says he is enjoying the corps but feels like his chance of branching into his choice is going to be next to impossible. He says he is already at a disadvantage because he is not a STEM student and apparently they get extra points that he cannot get.
He says he is not sure he wants to commit to 4 yrs of ROTC and 8 years of service if he can't get into the field he wants. I don't understand all that goes into this and what the branching means exactly.
I guess what i'm really trying to understand if what it really means if he does not make that x% that gets their choice. I don't want him to have regrets about this, and want to make sure he is fully informed
Thanks for your time
