What is the military obligation following college graduation?
Lieutenants leave for their first assignment following graduation from college. Lieutenants may complete the service obligation in a number of ways. The most common term of service is to complete 4 years on active duty and 4 years in the inactive reserve. Options also exist for educational delays and reserve duty. A Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty (GRFD) contract offers cadets interested in serving in the Army Reserve or National Guard, guaranteed duty in the reserve components.
