Possible Increase to Military Service Obligation

No use to me but if other sources stay in longer maybe the commitment should be increased. On the other hand if SA graduates stay in longer maybe the commitment is fine. Most people already agree the quality of graduates is similar a crossed all sources so length in service would be a big part of the return.

"From a 1992 Government Accounting Office (GAO) Report, only about a 6% higher retention rate has been measured for service academy graduates after 15 years of active duty, when compared to ROTC and OCS Graduates. Although service academy graduates have historically attained flag rank at a much higher percentage rate than ROTC and OCS graduates, the significant shift occurred between 1972 and 1990. In 1972, only about 20% of flag officers were from ROTC and OCS combined, whereas in 1990 over 50% of general/flag officers were from ROTC and OCS commissioning sources. "

In terms of rates of promotion and career longevity, while academy graduates used to outstrip their peers, ROTC and OTS graduates are now staying in the military for longer periods of time and reaching flag-officer level at similar rates as their service academy counterparts.[7] In their analysis, the Tench School of Business concluded that “[d]ifferences in career progression between the three main commissioning sources were indistinguishable in the GAO Report. Ultimately, the quality indicators do not reveal any significant difference between commissioning sources. Thus, the tangible benefits from each program are exceptionally similar.”[8]
