Relapse- They were never slotted to become infantry officers and went back to whatever positions they held before. They were just doing it for the tab. It was nothing more than an experiment.

Information I heard from my few contacts still in RTB, they were told to be given unlimited recycles and did not ever get peered out. I wasn't informed if they got rid of the peering system entirely or if it was just for the females.

CaptJake- The ranger officer thing, is this a new system? When I was in an infantry battalion a few years back I never had ranger tabbed platoon leaders. All my captains were however.

My son (IN 2LT) is in a IBCT at Stewart and no tab = no platoon. Some un-tabbed guys have been waiting 8+ months, a new tabbed LT comes in and jumps to the front of the line and gets the first platoon to open.

Peer reports still get done...
