First, a student that graduates with a 2.2 most definitely get a commission (at least in the Army). The question is whether they would be recommended for AD, and that also possible.
I do not believe it to be true any more that a 2.2 GPA earns you a commission in any facet of military service necessarily. They will find a way to not recommend you if that's what they want to do. Perhaps a 2.2 GPA in a certain major with great leadership potential and stellar PT gets you there, maybe not. But there is a pervasive assumption out there that just going to an SMC gets you a commission. That is simply not true.
