Why make people believe they were all 22 when they graduated? What about the non-traditional students who could have just graduated this year but are already 30?

Service academy guys commit to 5 years, all other military commissions come with a 4 year commitment (such as ROTC), so class of 2004 officers who received commissions through ROTC can apply for the class of 2010. And likely, many of the officers applying are shooting for getting out immediately after their 4 year commitment, so many of them are coming from the class of 2004 just a bit of a correction – HBS stats claim 3% military, which for a class of 900 amounts to approx 25-30.
