[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congrats to him! But to clarify all of them are "no cost" to all attendees... in exchange for 5 years of service.[/quote]

What if you want to go to law or medical school? You have to do it after you serve that 5 years?[/quote]

Yes. Unless you get a waiver from service and get to go at 22 and then serve in the medical corps/JAG after to fulfill your 5 yrs. There's only a limited number of those waivers at every academy though, so you cannot and should not assume you will get one (maybe only the top 3-4 students applying to med/law school will get one); it's often dependent on what's going on - if we're at war, they can't be having people sit out in med/law school, they need 2nd LTs in the field so you are deploying quick after graduation, at peacetime there's more leeway. So if you want to go service academy but being a dr. or lawyer in the end gain - mentally be prepared that you'll graduate at 22, serve until 27, then go from 28-30/31, and then for med you'll do your residency etc. in your 30s.[/quote]
