Before i delve any further, i would like to point out this is not for me, but for my mom.
I'm an aspiring candidate to the service academies(senior). I recently told my mom that I want to go to a service academy and she took it pretty harshly. Emotions aside and all, she said (loosely paraphrasing her) I don't want you to sign a 10 year commitment and have no way out. I faintly remember hearing that you owe no service until your cow year (3rd year) but I can't find any sources. She is feeling abandoned right now, thinking I'm doing this in some sort of teenage rebellion and that I won't last/ you'll lose your ability to empathize and I want her to see this so she can have something to feel better about. Can anybody send me a link? I couldn't find one myself. Thanks.
