When 1000 young professionals find out what they’ll be doing for the next five years. Only at ⁦U.S. Military Academy at West Point⁩ #BranchNight #BEATnavy!

Pretty cool.😎 Back in my day, Branch Night took hours. We sat in Thayer Hall with a giant board on stage. By class rank, each cadet stood up and announced their pick. Only a certain amount of slots per branch. One by one, branches were filled & taken off the board. I was lucky, getting the branch I wanted. The last branch remaining for the cadets at the back of the class for my grad year was FA. A week later, the same process was used by Branch to select your first duty station. I did not get my first choice (Ft Bragg) but I did get my second choice (Ft Hood).

@WestPoint_USMA No USNA tells their midshipman prior to lunch so they can share the news to the underclassmen. @CoachJeffMonken you know better. #BEATARMY

@WestPoint_USMA There are only two branches: infantry, and infantry support. Hooah!

@Dana_TFSJ @WestPoint_USMA Congratulations!!🎊

@WestPoint_USMA I’m a retired Navy Chief and from what I heard from the many naval academy pilots I worked with, aviation, especially F-18/F-35 drivers are the most desired assignments. What about you guys in West Point? Which assignments are the most desirable?
