I have never seen one study that showed a correlation to class rank and success as a military officer. This has been discussed for decades.

The ultimate anedote ... from the Civil War ... Confederate General Lee was #1 in his class at west Point (or darn close) ... and Union General Grant was just about last in his class.
I would guess there is some correlation to class rank and success in the military but I bet it is a pretty weak correlation.
