What is your opinion of Service Academy graduates who separate as soon as their commitment for attending the academy is up?

If their commitment is up, then I have no problem with them leaving the force. The military is not for everyone. If they want to move into a different direction for their career, best of luck to them.

Agree, LTC Kevin Broom, PhD. They served their time and did their obligation. The five year time requirement has been fulfilled; let them go to prosper doing something else.

As @LTC Kevin B. stated (he blocked me for some reason?) If your service obligation is completed, than we should salute and applaud your service. Only a small portion of our ranks stays for a career. We need to value and applaud all service.

It would be interesting to see a study on why Service Academy grads leave the military, or why anyone leaves the military. But we don't collect such data and thus have no basis for understanding this phenomenon.
As for Service Academy grads who choose to leave after their service obligation, I think we should thank the, for their service and wish them the best of luck.
