Does he have to serve his commitment first?
Back in the day all military academy grads had to serve out their commitment, usually four years active duty; ask Roger Staubach. Today they seem to be able to get out of it for various reasons.

I think if he makes the team than he’s good to play .. if. It the he instantly goes back to serve those 4 years

Taxpayer paid education, then duck your service commitment ? Sounds about right for this day and age.

This is correct. I’m a former ROTC instructor and Academy liaison officer. There are a number of reasons a cadet, both ROTC and AF Academy, could defer service (or may not ever serve), especially in years where commissioning sources overproduce. I don’t know this cadets situation, but it is not unheard of. My guess is he will be allowed to serve in the AF Reserve or his commission will be deferred until there is more clarity regarding his professional football aspirations. Regardless, this young man deserves all our support for what he has done and what he will do, whenever that may occur.
