As a West Point cadet, the Career Satisfaction Program (CSP) provides you with three great ways to shape your Army career: electing your branch of choice, your first post of choice, or the guaranteed option to attend graduate school at Army expense.

Electing any of these options converts the "ready reserve" portion of your eight-year military service obligation to active service. You may combine up to two of these options.

The Graduate School Option (GRADSO) portion of the CSP program continues to be suspended since YG2014 pending officer corps reshaping efforts. The Army will continue to honor all GRADSO contracts for officers from YGs 2006-2013. The BRADSO and PADSO portions of CSP remain in effect.
