It may make sense for some career fields, but it makes no sense to mandate officers with masters and doctorate degrees to take the GRE at CCC. Your thoughts?

Bad idea. First the Army is going to pay for these folks to take a test they have not prepared them for and second rate them off those results. Personally I believe the Army already has to many things for young officers to worry about outside of the job the Army hired them to do and prepping for this is another one. Looking at GRE scores and APFT is like me writing out my credentials, RN, MSHS, CEN, CCRN, EMT-P, ATCN; you can say I am a good test taker but can I do the job? I fear with DHA and MAP, we will lose more talent with this.

Many of my medical colleagues are talking about getting out after their initial obligation because of this requirement and extended CCC. The rest of the Army doesn't have to worry about maintaining their CE, patient care, and board certification.

MAJ (Join to see) - Big Army is just not connecting with career fields that only missions in combat zones and careers that have missions both deployed and in garrison. We are not the only ones, MPs here draw weapons 0430, patrol for 8hrs, and then do PT. I never really had any desire to be combat arms but it must be nice when not deployed you can spend your entire garrison time doing the things the Army finds important.
