On 05/22/20 I found out that I was put on the OML . Does anyone know what OML refers to and if it is a good or bad thing? Thank You 2020-05-22T17:46:41-04:00 CPL Corinthian Winton 5923874

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Order of Merit List. Pretty typical for a lot of things. Rack and stack candidates based on qualifications.

How does it regard to the U.S. Army? - Quora</a> </p> <p class="pta-link-card-description">An Order of Merit List (OML) is used in a variety of ways. Each commissioning source (ROTC, OCS, USMA) will have an OML that includes academics, PT tests, evaluations, and extracurricular activities, that will be used to rank people on the list. Depending on where you are on the list, this will affect your branch (infantry, field artillery, aviation, etc) and duty station (if from USMA).</p> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div>

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was on the order or merit list previously. Means they have filled all mission slots for the fiscal year. So you are qualified and pass boarding and they want you, but there is not a slot for you at this time. Sometimes people drop out, screw up (DUI, failed security clearance etc.) and then they fill that slot by pulling someone off the OML. Also the other option is if they add more slots this fiscal year they would pull another candidate off the OML. The other option is you wait until the next fiscal year and then they pull you off the OML and give you a slot.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>An OML is an Order of Merit List. It shows how you rank in comparison to your peers. Being on the list is neither good nor bad. Where you rank on the list is the thing that can be good or bad.
