Well maybe you can answer this question for me: Are officers "discharged" or do they "resign"?
Good question. While most of the article rings true, this is a comment that raises my antennae. ROTC officers usually have (when I was in) a six year obligation with a specific active duty obligation. After active duty, the balance of the time is served in the reserves or Guard. After the total active and reserve obligation is served, the officer can request discharge or continue to serve as a reserve officer.
