Jamdog11- my 2015 DS is getting ready to graduate and took an Army Commissioning... he will be an officer and will be ACTIVE DUTY Army. Typically around 35% of the graduating class goes active duty (any branch) and the rest "sail". Also typically... more started out at KP wanting to go active duty yet changed their minds after their sea trips. Understand this is a maritime university and you will learn all about the maritime world... but definitely yes, you CAN go active duty as an officer -in whatever branch you wish (Air Force, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, NOAH, Marines). Best of luck to you.
