https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-does-the-new-army-ta-policy-affect-retention <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>According to the new Army TA policy, a freshly minted soldier out of AIT cannot access TA for college until the SM is at least one year in service. Again, a beneficiary of a baccalaureate cannot access it for a graduate school until the SM is 10 years in the Army.

I mean the retention of college graduated soldiers!
