They are getting doubly fucked because even if they do get commissioned later on, the date of the commission matters when coming up for promotion. That's why the service academies get commissioned a week or so ahead of the private military schools with ROTC and the rest of the college grads.
on the other hand... they get a free education...I know a guy who "decided that he didn't wan to fly" and transferred out of USAFA after a year... no tuition bill. in this case the terms under which they signed up have been changed by the other party..
