GA, you may be able to weigh in on the actual years…but it USED to be that ALL USNA grads got a USN Commission - which was not someone ROTC grads got, they got a USNR Commission. My husband, Class of '72 was USN…then after Vietnam and sometime after our military downsized, ALL graduates regardless of the institution were USNR ( much to the consternation of the USNA grads) and recently they’ve gone back to this dileneation, but I don’t know why. I do know that our mids now, mine and yours, WhistlePig, will have USN Commissions from USNA. </p>

<p>Anyone else know the specifics?? GA, in '80 did you get a USN or USNR Commission?

<p>The Class of 1980 received USN commissions. During the '80s NROTC grads with full 4-year scholarships also received USN commissions; other ROTC students received USNR commissions.</p>

<p>The service academies didn’t issue USNR commissions until the '90s. That was changed back to USN commissions last year with the Class of 2006.</p>
