Commitment

From USAFA Folklore

Commitment refers the first day of a cadet's second class year--the point at which the cadet is obligated to serve time in the active duty Air Force. If a cadet resigns or is disenrolled before Graduation, but after Commitment, he will be required to serve some amount of time in the enlisted force, depending on when he leaves the Academy. There is often a Commitment ceremony where the entire second class re-takes the Oath of Office.
