Much appreciated. A lot more complicated than I thought. Kind of like everything these days.
Back in the late-50's/early 60's when A&M's student body was around 10,000, they could commission every cadet due to how large the services were compared to now.
Even going back as recent as the Gulf War, A&M was allowed to commission more officers due to the sheer size of the military. In November of 1995, the Armed Forces reduced by almost 60%, affecting available slots.
