How likely is it that a cadet will get their first choice of branch or duty location after graduation?
Duty station and branch are both determined based on what the Army calls the Order of Merit List (OML). All of the senior cadets in the nation are placed on a list ranking them in descending order based on GPA, Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) performance, and the cadet’s overall performance in the ROTC program. The better a cadet performs physically, academically, and in their leadership roles, the more likely they are to get their first choices in branch and first duty station.
