Also no smart watches at the Academy.

Anyone have input on a smart watch? I've been using one of those Samsung Gear watches for a while. Would that qualify as a digital watch, or is that TOO digital?

The Casio Men's G-Shock GD350-8 is a hot seller, it is more durable than Samsung Gear. best of all, it is less than $100 bucks.

I heard from a friend in the class currently that it may be August 12th but that was before these monetary issues arose. So who knows now.

The Academy works out a ranking based on academic performance and the higher the grade the higher the preference in Troop placement. BUT this is not an official policy, but courtesy given to recruits. Albany makes the final determination and some classes (recent ones too) get very little say on where they go, but some classes get fairly close to home.

That said, Troop A, L, T, and usually G are closed. E was closed 2 classes ago too. B/C/D are practically never closed.

Has anyone heard of a tentative start date for this upcoming academy class?

[far1993]

Thanks guys! I appreciate the replies, looks like i'll be waiting for the next academy :/

I don’t think they got to rank 5XXX. They sent a lot of people from the last processing invites and some from the March processing. I’m ranked 51**.

Your family life is not taken into account. Your grades determine placement.

[Squez818]

To anyone in the current or previous academy classes, how is the troop you are placed in determined? Is it solely based on performance and grades or is your living situation like wife and kids taken into account? Just looking for a little more information regarding that. Thanks.

Im ranked 49**. Processed in March and I got a medical invite July 13 at noon. My background was submitted before the deadline.

[Rosy91]

Some March processing people like myself did get invites to medical but it looks like they were all in the 4*** ranks. I'm 42**. I'm sure at the next medical whenever that is you'll get an invite. Stay positive!

[Dlec241125]

Any word if they are still thinking about pushing it back or not?

[far1993]

Anybody rank 5XXX or March processing get their medical invite yet?

[ES_troop21]

I wouldn’t be so sure they process I believe 2500 at a time and stopped at rank 8500. Which means the next one will probably reach rank 11000. But you also don’t know when that is because they processed a lot of people and is still trying to get academy classes approved. Just stay positive guys!
