Should have just stopped talking right there, if you were in ROTC you probably know all about the Chair Force and their jacked up ways of doing thingsAt the Air Force Academy
Unless you were in Air Farce ROTC, in which you probably know all about it!
Tell yourself that if it helps you sleep at night, but nearly every National Guard officer I encountered during my year overseas was called back from ETS. Not IRR, -ETS-, and combat arms officers in particular were and are in high demand.Commitments vary, but I have a typical four year active duty and four year inactive reserve commitment. Being recalled to active duty for the rest of your life is technically possible, but is very rare and only happens in specialty areas.
If you are still active duty (don't know the timeframe you're talking about when you said you were in ROTC) you are guaranteed to see at least Major and maybe short Colonel if you do your 20. There are most definitely -not- more officers volunteering than the Army needs.
However, I didn't mean to hijack the thread. My main point was that people off at service academies (Anapolis and West Point in particular) aren't out tearing it up every day and so I highly suspect that a charge like rape is going to stick, or else the allegation never would have surfaced to begin with. The whole "questionable situation at a drunken college party" does not quite apply to a strict military setting.
