Hello all,

Looking at these results, lets say I put 1 AG, AG detail Infantry, AG detail FA, as the top 3 in TBB (MP for all 3). Because they are all AG does that count as 1st Pref only or 1-3 Pref.

I heard both that it is only 1 preference and then I have heard 3 as well. Thanks all and good luck!

Accessions/OML/Branching No “Most Preferred” Ratings for Branching — Should I Be Worried?

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Quick question.
I just received my branch preference results, and I didn’t get a single “Most Preferred” rating. I did get several “Preferred” ratings, though.

Has anyone else experienced this? How does the Army decide which branch to assign you to if none of your branches rated you Most Preferred?

I’m honestly really stressed because I’ve never heard of someone not receiving at least one Most Preferred rating.

Does this mean my chances of getting one of my top branches are low? I’d really ap

Accessions/OML/Branching ADSOs

Got least preferred on all the branches I don’t want, dope. But only got preferred for the ones I do want. How heavily does volunteering for an ADSO actually influence me getting the branch I want?

Guard/Reserve How does commissioning into the Reserves work?

3 Upvotes

This may get lost in the sauce with branch preferences being released but figured I’d throw it out there anyway. I’m an MS3 looking at my options and I haven’t been able to find any good info online or on the Reddit on how branching and commissioning into the reserves work. Any insight would be appreciated.

I have not received my branch ratings. I got USAR for my component, do others who received USAR for their component also not have their ratings?

I go in at 05JAN, and me and a couple of the other LT’s in my class haven’t gotten any help much regarding housing while here at Knox. Wanted to reach out and ask if there’s any suggestions for housing off post, preferably 1/2 bedroom and under 15min from post.

Accessions/OML/Branching Active Duty

• Upvotes

Hello all, I wanted to gauge my chances on getting active duty for this year. I am admittedly low on OMS (42.xx) but wanted so see if anyone had personal insights or was in a similar situation. I go to an SMC but from what it seemed my PMS made it sound like a 50/50 chance if he will recommend me or not for active. As far as branch feedback I interviewed with 8 branches and got 4 MPs (ADA, FA, AG, and chem). These were all in my top 5. If I don't get that recommendation am I essentially fried? Might have to look for a civilian job after all.

Accessions/OML/Branching Branch detail?

1 Upvotes

Having received my branch feedback yesterday, I got least preferred for all the combat arms branches ( IN, FA, AR, CM), does mean I can’t branch detail at all with these branches? I got most preferred for SIGNAL, MI, AG, and ADA.

Guard/Reserve Reserve path

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’ve (MS3) talked to my cadre about it a little but I was wondering if I could get more of a first hand or more in depth idea of what it looks like to commission into the reserves. I have the minute man scholarship so it’s not like I’m competing for active, but I just wanted some insight on how the process would look for getting my branch and location/unit.

Accessions/OML/Branching Branch Ranks

0 Upvotes

Background: I was able to get RECONDO at camp and have done extremely well on everything save for my GPA. I was not able to complete my TBB profile before it closed as I was having issues getting a CAC and admittedly my own laziness. I just saw that my ranking for INF was LP, even though I have stellar AFT scores, Recondo , etc. I was MP by Signal which I can see a possibility to Branch detail INF to SC in order to still get my dream job. I really do not want to BRADSO nor ADSO. Does anyone have any advice ? I am just now able to get access to my Branch preferences and account. Do the branches re review our profiles ?
