I was really taking about the AD commitments for pilots. While not common, at the service academies, you would get a real POS that did something so egregious, but wasn’t a jail-time offense. The services didn’t want them to serve, so they would get a big chicken dinner and have to repay the service for their commitment.
I could envision something similar (- the BCD), calculating the training cost for the remaining years of service to repaid. But even then, there are plenty of people who absent some negative characterization of their discharge, would look at that math and find it in their favor.
