I apologize if I sound clueless but why were they so excited at the beginning when they opened their envelopes? Was it their MOS (career choice) or something?
TheGuy A combination of both. During the cow Year (3rd year) cadets will select in order of preference the branches where they would like to serve. Based upon a combination of their personal preferences, their academic, physical and military performance scores, as well the needs of the Army in terms of slots available, they will be ranked and selected for a branch. Later on in the year, on Post Night, they will similarly select where their first post will be.
Yea there is a difference in being a Warrant Officer and an Officer. A Warrant is someone based on a single MOS or Job like Information technology or Aviation or so forth. An officer kind of has a choice on where they want to go by putting it in but the army kind of chooses for you.
In an answer to the Y.T. post Cheeseball 47 the excitement when the cadet opened his envelope meant he got his first choice of duty station! It's kind of not guaranteed especially when your going to be a soldier. I was happy that he got what he wanted. I'm a U.S. Army veteran.
@@tylerhendrix14 No. He’s not an American. He’s earning an officers commission in the Haitian police or security forces by way of West Point. Foreign Governments who do not have military academies of their own usually sponsor their brightest and most academically competent officer candidates to attend USMA as a way of producing officers for their own armed forces or police force.
They focus on everything, but do not worry too much about your GPA honestly. I received an LOA for Class of 2023 (I graduate high school '19) and I did not have an outstanding GPA by the academies' standards (I have a 3.75). Test scores were very good though. Character is huge - emphasize it, and make sure you have leadership stuff to stick out on your resume. As for physical fitness: be a varsity captain of a sport, if not at least on a varsity team (or two). I was captain of my volleyball varsity team and was on varsity all four years. But physical fitness overall - not a huge factor whatsoever. Your CFA counts for 10% I believe. You don't need to max out every single test (not that it would not hurt), but definitely make sure you do a little more than just pass it. Good luck :)
12:20 OMG how are you guys out of step after 4 years of West Point, that's why line units don't respect lieutenants that come from West Point not hating that's just a true story you get more love if you don't come from West Point
My nephew was in your graduating class. So proud of him and all the cadets. I wish you and your class nothing but the best!

cheeseball 47 i was wondering the same thing
It was Branch Night - when the Firsties find out which Branch (i.e. Infantry, Aviation, Armor, etc.) they have been assigned to.
tepeh789 do they get a choice or is it chosen for them?

Foreign governments send their brightest to West Point for years

@@victheprick2218 Thanks for explaining. I had no idea that was a thing. It makes sense. I wonder if Ukraine is doing the same thing now.
@@tylerhendrix14 Ukraine has their own military academies.
How was the application process and what was your gpa in high school. Did they focus more on character and physical fitness or grades

So, a decent GPA is important, but a balance of academics, athletics and civic leadership are what really matter. Go Army! Beat Navy!
What you do after that
Oh shoot that's Tom Le
what was the beginning where the guys were yelling
That was branch night for all the seniors. They learn what branch of the Army they've been assigned for the next 5 years.
Pascal Brun ok thank you I was confused
Pascal Brun what branch of the army? The army is the branch. your dumb dumb
Does it matter what rank you are you don't smoke in uniform
Everyone smokes in uniform

They are in step... the have opposite arms going back and forth and their legs are in step... get a life
Wow nice🇭🇹
Freaking Pogs lol man
@Sid Saenz there’s no such thing as a good officer that comes straight from school. The only good officers are this who were previously NCOs
