Applies to Cadets Receiving

Their Commissioning in:

Dec 2011

May 2012

Aug 2012

Briefing updated: 10 Apr 2011

Scholar-Athlete-Leader• A military officer must be a scholar, athlete and leader (SAL).• We commission SALs, and only SALs. Cadets must have the “full

package”, and be accomplished and competent in all three areas.– If your GPA is below a 2.5 – you are at risk of commissioning– If your APFT scores are below a 80-80-80 – you are at risk of commissioning– If you get an N at LDAC, or have many Ns on your Blue Cards – you are at risk

• Cadets compete on their own merits and accomplishments against over 5,000 other cadets commissioning in that same “cohort” year group (Oct 11 – Sep 12)

• Your Grades, LDAC Performance and APFT Scores comprise ~75% of your accessions score, and is how you compete for:– Branch - Branch Detailing– Post - ADSOs– Grad School– Component

• Active Duty, National Guard, Reserves

Terms and Topics• ACCESSIONS – the process we use to bring cadets into the Army

formally, and assign them to their component and their branch• CCIMS – the database we use to input all your info and requests• LAMS – Leader Assessment Sheet that captures all aspects of the

mathematical OMS information• OMS – Order of Merit Score, the result of all your academic, athletic

and leadership scores, using the OML percentages, that is used to compare you against the other 4,000 cadets going thru accessions that year

• OML – a one-to-last listing of cadets, based on the OMS• DMG – Distinguished Military Graduate, designated for the top 20% of

cadets in the nation. Usually guarantees your first branch choice• Active Duty Cutoff Line – a defined OMS that sets the minimum scoring

for active duty selection. Below that score, AD is not possible.• “Dead Zone” – the area on the branch bar graph where it is impossible

for a cadet to receive a certain branch.

FY 11 National OML and AD Selection

There were 23 Cadets that achieved a perfect 101.5 OMS score.Any cadet with an OMS below 71.5848 did not get active duty, unless they were a nurse, G2G or SMC cadet.

FY11 Order of Merit Scores

1. Branch the Top 10% of the AD OML with their first basic branch choice

2. Branch by OML until up to 50% of each branch’s requirements are filleda. If the first branch preference is unavailable, the next available branch

preference of the Cadet will be awarded (2nd and 3rd Choice Only)b. Cadet may volunteer for the Branch for ADSO program, but they won’t be

charged until after branch filled to 50%

3. Branch remainder of the branch with an additional three-year ADSOc. By OMLd. Ensuring that no more than 65% of any one branch’s allocation are filled by

the first half of the AD OML

4. DA Board awards branches to Cadets not receiving branch via steps 1-3e. DA Branching Model produces initial distribution of branch assignments for

those branches not filled to 100% with steps 1-3- Needs of the Army, distribute quality, Cadets Branch choices- Ensuring that no more than 65% of any one branch’s requirements are filled by the first half of the AD OML

f. Cadet’s first two choices are still viable IF, and only if, they were BRADSOg. DA branching board determines final branch assignment for step 4 cadets and branch detailing for all

Active Duty Accession Process

True or False

If I am the bottom 20% of the Active Duty OML or in the “dead zone” (just above the 50th percentile) I should not even choose a popular branch like AV, IN or AR.

FALSETRUE

FALSERULE #1: The only certainty in selection and branching is that if you fail to request what you desire, then you will not get what you desire.Although branch fill rates and cut-offs tend to stay consistent from year to year there can be exceptions. For the FY09 Cohort there was barely enough Cadets requesting Aviation “AV” with Branch ADSO to fill the requirement. “AV” did not fill until the 98th percentile in FY09.

Recommendation: Make your first Branch Choice what you truly desire and sign a Branch Career Satisfaction Program Incentive (formerly Branch ADSO) if you strongly desire. ADSO’s are only charged if needed to get the branch. Be more realistic with second and third branch choice based on your desires and standing on the Active Duty OML.

FY 11 Branch Fill Rates

• The following chart displays where on the Active Duty OML, each branch filled for the FY11 Cohort for pre-branching (Methods 1 to 3)

• Color codes show where each branch filled for this cohort:– Up to 50% of the allocation was filled without using a cadet’s ADSO– Branched with ADSO in the top half of the OML– Branched with ADSO in the bottom half of the OML

• Highlights for Active Branching in FY11- As in FY10 branching, DA directed that all branches with the exception of “AV” have at

least 10% of the total ROTC branch requirement go to DA Branching Model. As a result allocations available for pre-branching were reduced for some branches. - Also continued from FY10 was the “Engineer Pilot Program”. This program took half of the “EN” Branch allocations and made them available to “degreed Engineers” only using same branching process.

- ROTC Allocations for “IN” and “OD” branch were proportionally larger than last year. While this change made “IN” easier to secure, “OD” branch had similar fill rate as FY10.

- “MS” and “TC” branches both had proportionally less allocations then last year and both became more difficult to secure as a result.

FOR REFERENCE ONLY Actual FY11 Values Can Vary Significantly

Branches that had Pre-branching due to Aviation Program UND or Required Medical Specialties. Branches that had Pre-branch Allocations reduced to ensure 10% of Branch to DABM Cadets with Engineer Degrees, 50% of “EN” allocation considered to degreed engineers only

Officer Career Incentive Programs(ADSO/Dual ADSO Programs)

Only Cadets selected for Active Duty are eligible Selection is based on the National OML . For BRADSO, if you “earned”

your branch outright, you will not be “charged” an ADSO, even if you requested it.

Cadets may request to participate in 1, 2, or all 3 Cadets may be selected in up to two of the programs Participation in each program is in exchange for an additional 3-year Active

Duty Service Obligation (ADSO) Branch for Service - Receive their branch of choice

Post for Service - Receive their first assignment of choice

Graduate School for Service - Attend full time, fully funded Grad Program between years 7-11

At time of request, Cadets must sign a contract addendum The new Post 9/11 GI Bill makes this a VERY attractive option, since

staying on active duty for 3 years beyond any “educational payback period” will earn you full college benefits (for you or your family). So…BRADSO, PADSO, GRADSO 3-yr periods are “good” years and earn you full benefits.

Graduate School for ADSO 300 Cadets can participate (approximately)

Guaranteed Option to attend Graduate School (up to 24 months)

Outside of this program only about 1 in 10 graduates receive fully funded Graduate School (Advanced Civilian Schooling)

Officer determines attendance: When, What, Where• In almost any program of choice from a broad slate of disciplines• At any accredited institution within the US as approved by HRC

After attendance, 3 for 1 payback (additional active duty time). If you attend grad school in later years, you can pay back your obligation before you attend.

The Post 9/11 GI Bill is amazing, and complements this option nicely. 3 years of active duty (beyond any “educational payback time”) will earn you full benefits for you or your family. http://www.gibill.va.gov/documents/Breakdown_of_the_monetary_benefits_under_the_various_GI_Bills.pdf

A great website is located at: http://www.career-satisfaction.army.mil/

• In exchange for more years of active duty, the Army will “assume” your higher education loan and pay it off for you.

• Deadlines to sign up for this: • 1 Nov (for Dec grads)• 1 Mar (for May/Aug grads)

• You sign up for this about before you graduate/commission• Up to $25k – one year• Up to $50k – two years• Up to $65k – three years

• You will sign an addendum to your contract once the SLRP request is approved, and DA agrees to assume your loan.

• The USAA Career Starter Loan does NOT count for SLRP.

• SLRP payback years are NOT GI Bill earning years.

Accession Process

Step 1 – Cadet requests USAR or National Guard (“Dedicated” cadets have no option)

Step 2 – Cadet secures a slot in a unit (USAR uses the “Request” system, NG uses the LOA system)

a. Both of these steps are done BY THE CADET

b. LOA in Indiana is a Conditional LOA, and INARNG holds an OML board for branching its officers

Step 3 – After the Branching/Component Board, Cadets have 30 days to secure their slot

a. Sooner is better – slots are limited to allocations!

Active Component LTs Attending BOLC-B

LTs receive orders prior to commissioning

Orders include BOLC-B and, usually, your first duty assignment

Priorities of bringing LTs onto active duty/BOLC seats:• Green to Gold Active Duty• Send LTs to fill LTC/LDAC requirements• LTs perform GBR duty (Purdue or elsewhere) prior

to attending BOLC-B

Reserve Component LTsAttending BOLC-B

ROTC LTs receive Reserve Component orders minimum 30 days prior to start of BOLC-B:

• USAR from USARC G1 (Request, website)

• ARNG from HRC-NG• Do NOT work with your unit to secure a slot in

ATRRS for BOLC-B. It may be approved initially, but will get denied. This slot is worked at the national level.

Methodology:

• End of LDAC Commissionees will be incorporated into the current year’s PMS Accessions OML cohort using a 0.5 criteria (cohort that has already been branched for the FY)

• LDAC Commissionees are incorporated into the current FY’s OML Model to calculate an OMS which will determine their OML ranking using a 0.5 criteria resulting in no impact on the previously established OML

• The already established FYXX DA Selection and Branching Board results will be used to determine Active Duty selection line and branch selection
