No military academy will waive active duty
On Thursday, the Air Force notified the Air Force Academy that it would no longer approve requests to waive active duty military service commitments, a decision that could have affected the draft potential of wide receiver Jalen Robinette.
Monday, the Pentagon announced that the policy was in effect across all military service academies.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Pentagon said, "Our military academies exist to develop future officers who enhance the readiness and the lethality of our military services. Graduates enjoy the extraordinary benefit of a military academy education at taxpayer expense.
