Are you applying for a direct commission program? or just want to be a 73A? If you aren't applying for a direct commission, you will need to attend OCS and at that point, you will provide branch preferences, and depended on how you do, you will be respectively placed in a branch.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 3 at 2020 7:31 PM2020-03-03T19:31:14-05:002020-03-03T19:31:14-05:002020-03-03T06:59:59-05:00
