Comma Club/December Grad

[Anschutz]

Just joined to answer a few questions I had input for. I thought the Army had a lot of acronyms but daggum this place has it beat. Anyways, I'm a 2014 grad that took an extended stay because 54 months is better than 47.

Welcome!

Thank you for your service. USMA's great, why not spend more time there?

took an extended stay because 54 months is better than 47.

Can you provide some insight into types of circumstances that result in a 54 month experience? Also, negative and positive ramifications? Thanks.

It can be a whole host of things from a medical issue to an honor board. I fell somewhere in the middle. For me, ramification was I worked the CST TOC all summer (a valuable experience) and was moved back a yeargroup for promotion. Outside of West Point, it has not affected me.
