I think (I may be mistaken) that if you quit/fail after your second year, you either cough up a pretty hefty (100k+?) chunk of change, or serve as an enlisted soldier to pay off your debt.

I hope he has to pay for the resources he wasted. Of course, it is also likely he will apply for service connected disability (service-induced "depression") and feed off the godfearing taxpayer the rest of his life. This story is just beginning.

I’ve been out for a while and the rules may likely have changed, but when I was at USNA if you quit after the first class bell rang in your Junior year, you immediately became an enlisted person with a 4 year obligation. More recently, I’ve seen some stories of quitters getting out by repaying the estimated cost of their education.

I have heard the story and I read it yesterday. But my short term memory is shot. I think he just found out there was a medical change that disqualified him to get his commission.

That said, since it was not his decision (to be denied his commission) they were going to allow him to graduate with his class.

Boy, looking back, that would have been sweet. But now that I am paying his bill....I say let him transfer his credits and spend another two years getting a degree. (Those English 101 credits are a bitch to transfer!!!)
