NC92, I believe you have it spot on.
From what I understand in the future we will all be applying as officer aviation candidates and ASP results will determine which pathway you enter as.
At the ASP I assume there will be both a cutoff for Pilot and a cutoff (likely lower) for ACO/JBAC. If you make pilot, great, pilot is what you get but if you go through as mission pathway you have that uncertainty a la GSO as to where you'll end up.
edit: apparently the future of the program is for there to be no streaming until AFTER OTS and the first lot of coursework at the air academy.
