    Currently a West Point grad commits five years to the Active Army
    Since the cost of an education has increased - should that Active Army commitment be increased?
    If so - how many years.


    In addition - you can attend West Point for 2 years - quit and owe nothing
    Should that policy change?
    The regulatory reference is AR 210-26, United States Military Academy

    The five year policy is adequate.

    The two year policy should change.

    I'd support the five-year commitment.
