60% are fake and will never be in the military. 100% Of these students wish they can have their college years back. They wished they partied like a normal student.

1. Not everyone who joins the military commissions, nor are OCS, PLC, and other direct commissioning programs included in the overall numbers. Also, there are two specific outfits on campus that are populated by veterans.

2. If you had a clue about how ROTC programs work, you would know that the number of individuals they can commission is CAPPED. Even if A&M, Virginia Tech, the Citadel, VMI, etc could commission every cadet, they are prohibited by law and regulations from doing so.

3. Your point is bullshite, your argument is flawed, and you've clearly never served based on your complete ignorance of simple military facts. Go frick yourself.

Any college graduate of any college will receive military commission when they join the armed forces.

Also not even close to true. If you join with a BACHELORS DEGREE but do not go through a specific commissioning program (Military Academy, OCS, ROTC, or Direct Commission), you enter as an E4. You fail

Nope. If you have a college degree and join the military you are a commissioned officer. The degree can be from any college. You can have an assoicates or bachelors. It does not matter. You still are a commisoned officer.

Army

"Requirements
To attend Officer Candidate School, you must be U.S. citizen and a college graduate, be at least 18 years of age at the time of regular Army enlistment and entered active duty or ship to training on or before your 29th birthday. Army Reserve, be at least 18 years of age at the time of enlistment and entered active duty or ship to training before your 35th birthday. (Age waivers will be granted for meritorious cases only.) High school seniors may also apply."

So I can go to college. Be in a frat and party for four years. Then receive my degree in General Studies. Then join the army and be a commisioned officer just as the Texas A&M Corp graduate who also just joined the army.
