Good to know. I’m starting my plebe year in 2 weeks

[bobq]

Only about 18% of Army Officers come from USMA so it’s not the “primary source”

[haszahngrimes]

Be careful about calling USMA the primary commissioning source. USMA only commissions about 1, 000 officers per year out of the 6, 000 that the Army receives. 70% of commissioned officers come from ROTC. You also did not cover the Command Sergeant Major rank at the battalion level. A Sergeant Major at the battalion level is a Cow (2CL) that is the BN Sandhurst SGM. Besides those two inaccuracies, this is a great video for incoming cadet candidates.

What kind on insignia are worn by Brigade Staff who aren't in a 'S-#' position with rockers under the chevrons? Example... the Brigade Honor Captain?

[rulerofawesoe]

Can you make a usafa rank video and a usafa uniform video? Thanks your videos are super helpful!

[JKhyway]

Very interesting, do you plan on discussing any more German military topics, really like those.

[vernonjoiner]

What does it mean when the Stripes are inverted?

[johnc]

Are the ranks awarded depending on Course achievement; or rotated throughout the course to
give the Cadets experience at various levels of military responsibility?

[jasonrusso]

you count the gold not the spaces the gold lace indicates rank not the blank portion in-between. Lieutenants have 3 stripes, Capt 4. & etc.

What questions can I expect at the Interview

[TripleDinLV]

Don't sound so disengaged; future cadets that are looking for a leg up may hear the tonals, and decide to go with their 1st (GO NAVY) instinct, 2nd (Yay, mom, we're washing wings), 3rd instinct @ Kings Point, or 4th, just pass the SAT to ride boats with training wheels. LOL. J/K, but seriously, the disinterested voice tonals are problematic. sound involved. I don't know if you're a Cadet, or other, but make it sound like you CARE. This didn't.

[louisvelez]

Improve delivery of this message by moderating voice inflection to signal emphasis change. At present the message gets distorted because person speaking appears to be reading from a script and shows no interest in what is being said. The information has potential for greater interest in subject that is being addressed.

[abcpan]

The large chevrons ruin the look of the uniform. I know, I know, it's tradition from way back. Still, smaller chevrons would complement the uniform without standing out too much.

[williamt.little]

Very interesting. But the narrators voice is irritating. She sounds bored with her own presentation.

[Dov_ben-Maccabee]

Let's see... for 'Commander of the Walking off Punishment Brigade' would be; inverted triple wide chevron with crossed broken arrows inside garbage can... Enjoy your career as head vomit mopper at Leavenworth!
