If it was 5 years for ROTC grads then I have been AWOL/UA for the past 10 months. What are they teaching you over there at the academy? Jk

I asked someone what the difference between a Regular commission and a reserve commission is, and they could only tell me that they think a regular commission gave you a preference during RIFs, but I think they for that data from their RDB.

I was an ROTC grad from CU Boulder and so was my brother. We were on Princeton Review's #1 party school ranking my freshman year. This year, CU Boulder is on Playboy's #1 party school ranking. My brother starts teaching at the Academy next semester and can't wait to tell all the cadets how much fun he had in Boulder.
