2. They are no longer on probation or have to attend class or military training, and are in good standing at the AFA.
3. After being commissioned, they will receive the same officer assignments they would have received if they had graduated in May, 2025.
4. After graduation/commissioning, they will receive 60 days’ leave.
“This is great news and should be considered a great VICTORY. Anyone not familiar with the circumstances and significance of this situation is invited to read the above document, which helped achieve the results stated above,” Rose said.
