Don't know him ... he was after my time. But, from the information you provided it appears that his source of commission might have been ROTC which would have resulted in most cases in a Reserve commission. When I was in ROTC in the sixties a commission would have required a defined period of service on AD, especially if the graduate was a recipient of a ROTC scholarship. Under DOPMA, he could have resigned his commission after the conclusion of any scholarship requirements, much the same as a West Point graduate.

Thoughts?
