Hey everyone --
Sorry if this should be attached to another thread -- I tried in the ROTP 2010/2011 section, but I do not seem to be getting the answers that I am looking for, largely because it seems to be more of a support group for Ocdt hopefuls than a group of people with specific answers. That being said, I am grateful for that in some circumstances, and I am also aware that my recruiting center is the place with specific answers.
On to my situation -- due to medical, I was overlooked on the first round of ROTP selections, but have since been deemed medically fit (it was due to an allergy -- got tested, and in the last ten years, something has changed and I no longer suffer from allergies). My trade choices are Armored, MPO, and Infantry in that order. I did not get loaded on the MPOAC, so that is no longer an option.
I keep hearing a lot of rumors circulating and tried to have my file manager dispell some of those rumors, but all that she could say is I am merit listed for the second round of selection which is supposed to occur in this month (April, 2010), that my file is competitive for both of my remaining trade choices, and to be patient.
I keep hearing that both armored and infantry are full for officers already coming out of the first round. Will this mean that I will not be selected? Also, another candidate from the ROTP 2010/2011 selection was told he was not picked for Infantry in the first round because he was not competitive enough and it filled, they then listed several other trades they could offer him, none of which were his three trade choices. Is this something that is common place?
Lastly, what is the current demand within regiments for Infantry officers and armored officers? I seem to hear more about NCM -- Armored is in need, Infantry is full.
Thanks everyone for any insight.
