Posts - A couple of months after Cadets get Branches most Branches participate in "Post Night". The Department of the Army provides an allocation of assignments and Cadets in each branch choose a unit/post by Class Rank. Number of allocations/locations vary each year depending on the needs of each branch.
A user asks about the difficulty of getting finance corps as a branch in Army ROTC from VMI. Other users reply with information on the branching system, the talent assessment battery, and the branch distributions from West Point and USNA.
A forum thread where users share their opinions on which Army branches or MOSs are the most or least competitive for cadets coming out of ROTC. The thread does not mention USNA or the Navy, but it may provide some insights for comparison.
kinnem, those slides describe Branching, but not Branch Detail, which is a completely separate process. Branch Detailiing is where the cadet's assigned Branch (e.g. Military Intelligence) loans the newly minted 2LT to one of the MFE Branches for Basic Officer Training and then first duty: (Infantry, Armor, Chemical, or Field Artillery) for the first 24-36 months of the 2LT's career.

I have not been able to find much current advice regarding competing for competitive branches, especially the Army placing a heavier emphasis on the TAB. I have a few questions with regards to branching infantry: 1. The one thing I heard was that if you are in the top 10% you can basically...
For example army 17A in reserve to Navy Cryptologic Warfare Officer in reserve after finishing the army 17A term. Click to expand... Yes, it is possible to switch branches, but each service and each program has its own set of requirements and catches.
They will not care. To most civilian admissions committees, the Army is the Army. They have no idea of what branches are and will assume you led soldiers who have different tasks to complete. An army officer tends to be a generalist. What that means is despite the fact you are in different branches, most LTs will be doing the same similar tasks.
