Yea Vic, the way cadet command is doing it now is based on the OML, they pick the top cadets each year and pick up x number of cadets for 2LT spots in the active force. the rest that dont make the cut are placed in the guard and reserves. not to say that they arent good. they are very needed and some cadets actually do the SMP program where they CHOOSE to go Guard or reserves. I was in the top 2500 cadets in the nation that they picked up for Active Duty and I am PUMPED about it!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> We had around 5,000 cadets this year total in ROTC that were MS 3s and that are going to be 2LTs somewhere. But as for me, I am going to the ACTIVE FORCE and I cannot wait. This thread pumps me up reading it.
