Its my understanding that the years spent in school at West Point count towards years of service with the Army in determining length of service for pension, etc. I was wondering if the years spent in school at USMMA count the same if one elects to go into one of the branches of service after graduating from USMMA. Hopefully this question is clear. Thanks in advance for any answers.

exceptions to Years of service
Given your title as "Sgt." are you in the active armed forces now, and looking to join the academy on a special sponsorship?
If so, that may qualify as an exception. I do recall many years ago a midshipman sponsored by the Marine Corps who was being paid by the Marines during his education at KP. If they are paying you, then you are accruing time.
BTW - to the first response - I never realized just how visionary Lincoln was.

FYI - "Sgt Hulka" is a character from the Bill Murray military comedy movie "Stripes."
Famous for the phrase "Lighten up, Francis."
