You go through an accessions process where you make your preferences known. The branching process just changed. You will need to complete all the preflight requirements, like a flight physical. There is the SIFT.

I don't know if one is able to still obtain a letter of acceptance by a unit commander for ARNG and USAR units. You obtained that letter against an open slot, and that is what you branched, assuming you were otherwise qualified.

Go to an aviation or MEDEVAC unit and request an office call with the commander.

This article also has posts to the new market place model as well as the commissioning source branching processes. https://www.rallypoint.com/command-post/how-do-i-choose-an-army-branch-a-framework

Unless something major has changed. If you have a letter of acceptance from a BN commander with a slot for the branch you want, you get that branch.

You get branched based on slots in your state. For example, if there aren't any ADA units in your state, your state probably has few, if any ADA officer slots.
