I saw the USMA part in the article I posted, just didn't know it applied to DMGs as well. I was having a discussion about this with a friend who pointed out the CCB article to me and he missed the part about RA not getting preferential treatment in RIFs anymore over ARs but we both missed the DMG part.

That takes a small bit of luster off being a DMG now I would presume. The one thing not mentioned is that DMGs in ROTC BNs usually received a RA commission as well.
