This year's bumper crop of college seniors is the last, and the commissioning problem will not occur again. With little extra expense and a temporary Defense Department exception on the service's officer quota, the Air Force could honor its commitment. The AFROTC's over-recruitment four years ago should not hold back the commissions which these three thousand officer-candidates desire and deserve...
