§2106 — Title 10 Armed Forces | U.S. Code

Summary

Finishing the advanced training program and being chosen for it lets someone become a regular or reserve officer at the rank of second lieutenant or ensign, even if they are under 21. If the appointment happens in May or June, the officer’s seniority date is the graduation date of that year’s service academies; the branch Secretary sets the date for others. Time spent in the advanced training does not count as enlisted service, except for any enlisted service performed on or after August 1, 1979 while serving in the Selected Reserve.
