That isn’t shocking to me, think about it they are only allowed 4400 cadets, and currently they have 4700 at the AFA. If you do the math, and say 1100 are commissioning this yr, that would still leave them with 3600, so 900 would than put them back at the number they need to be at legally.

Also, I have heard some MOCs have stated that they were not submitting a slate this yr. I heard that back a few months ago, and was stunned to hear that, but I also know that the AFA has an office at the Pentagon. This office is in charge of briefing the staffs of the MOCs every yr. They may have come in and said we need to slow the pipeline down. Maybe they asked the MOC’s that have the ability to put up 2 slates, to just put up 1 this yr.

That’s just my guess, but I bet that is how they will come around to the 900 number. Candidates need to remember just because an MOC can be charged UP to 5 cadts, it doesn’t mean they are using that option.
