Interesting...I could see this having the opposite effect of what the engineering incentive did previously/currently. I can imagine a lot of mids just picking up non-tech majors to boost their gpa and get slots.
It pretty much is - this is a public forum, indexed by Google and read by numerous senior officers to include guys who wear stars. Your cloak of anonymity isn't as impenetrable as you may think.
Apparently TOO new. Got an infraction for________ (insert lame excuse here)! I don't think giving your opinion about the current or new NROTC regulations could lead to anything adverse. As a guy that took the enlisted route and paid for college, I don't think NROTC candidates did anything more than prior enlisted NCO's, so why did I do 12 weeks of OCS and the NROTC guy only did 6 weeks? Because the NROTC candidate is better than me and got a super sweet deal, that's why. (Not to be construed as sarcasm. Seriously I have enough bad reps.)
My CO explained the new "Service Assignment" as a board of officers from different communities. All the commissioning MIDN are then ranked by academics and aptitude. He said there is no preference given to tech. majors. Then they look at your choices and put you where you fit. The first MIDN gets his/her first choice, the 100th MIDN's first choice might be filled, so they put you in your next choice.
My question is, how is this different from the old Service Selection. Also, because you don't really apply for a particular designator, does everyone have to take the ASTB and flight physical? Or are these scores not applied to the ranking system?
