Can you grad transfer to Air Force, Navy etc

Do any of the military academies even offer postgraduate degrees?

No. The post graduate program is a deployment to a war zone.

You can transfer but you would still need to complete four years at the academy. So pretty much you would have wasted your last couple. I would suggest finishing your college and going to see a recruiter about OCS if you want to be a military officer.

Transfer and join the corps of cadets at Texas A&M or Va Tech.

The Naval Postgraduate School is in Monterey, CA. The Air Force post-grad school is in Dayton, OH. There area a few other small specialized schools that you will only know about if you are a career military officer and plan to attend one. The service academies are undergrad only.

No, however graduate students can do ROTC.

If it's something you're interested in you can do ROTC as a grad student. You may or may not be able to get scholarship money but you should be able to get commissioned at the end of it if that's what you want.

I know for the few ROTC undergrads I coached, it is considered a job and can be combined with scholarship. I had a guy getting full tuition (~75%) from ROTC plus 75% from athletics. He was making about $2k per month.

I'm not asking for advice I'm asking if it is possible and if someone has done it before(in running or another sport). I'm just curious if it is an option and am not even set on doing. I'm not looking to do ROTC because it would conflict align with athletic obligations and I know I would be doing another 4 year undergrad in this scenario. Also I want to go to at least a somewhat competitive running team and for both Air Force and Navy you have to be under 23 coming in to qualify as a candidate but that still doesn't display the likelihood of something like that happening or if I would be allowed to compete.

You got your answer… from multiple people that you can’t grad transfer to those schools (I have not independently verified if that is true) but I can tell you that at least some ROTC programs are compatible with athletics as they waive much of the PT and grad school is often much less time consuming than undergrad so it is definitely possible to do both.

Just to be crystal clear:

1 - you cannot grad transfer to service academies, as there are no grad programs to transfer into.

2 - you could apply to start again as a freshman in a service academy. Would be a full scholly, but would be a 2nd undergrad degree and 4yr commitment plus service commitment.

3 - at least for law and medical school, there are ridiculous programs that pay 100% of your costs (at any university) in exchange for service commitment, entering as officer. I once had my ass handed to me, by one of these young lawyers.

Go see a recruiter, there must be similar programs for other grad subjects.

The Military is not supportive of anything except the organization first, unless you join the Army WCAP, which means you’d have to win (or place top 3) a US championship first to qualify. Also your comment is rife with “I” which does not jive with the military lifestyle. I suggest you drop this idea unless you are interested in public service. There is no free rides in terms of post grad work. That’s it.

I agree with the tone of your post, as I think OP looks only for grad running opportunity, not public service, but there are plenty of free rides for post grad.

1 - just do the typical runner grad transfer to OSU, UNC, Oregon, CU, NC St etc. Attend grad school on scholarship for running.

2 - most PhD programs are free, PhD free with paid stipend in exchange for research, teaching and other help in the department

3 - as I mentioned above military scholarship to grad school in exchange for future service

my buddy did it for med school with navy.

He did basic training and was a reserve thru 3yrs med school, 1 yr residency.

Then did 4 years active duty.

With credit for already 8 service years, he continued in reserve for 12 years, while building his practice, so he will collect navy pension. The med school value is now $300k.

... and yes, I damn well ordered the code red!

You're going to have to reach out to the coach to see if they would admit you as a new cadet. No one here is going to be able to answer that question.

Just FYI, you asked about being a grad transfer, but that's not what you are describing above. People responded about the possibility of you being a grad transfer.

The Service Academies basically don't care how much college you've completed before admitting you. It would influence whether you are put in the top section with the most advanced students but they aren't like public universities where you can transfer credit or use an AP test score to test out of courses. Provided you are a US Citizen, under 23 years of age on July 1st of the year you'd start, and you have no dependents (this requirement is changing) you could apply. While it is common for military officers between their 8th and 12th year of service to attend graduate school and the Navy actually has a Postgraduate school some officers go to, there is really no such thing as a "graduate school" for a Service Academy. You'd have to be a mid-career officer to get into the Naval Postgraduate school and it has essentially no affiliation with Annapolis (one is in CA and one is in MD). It is fairly common for a freshman at a Service Academy to have completed 1 or 2 years at a "normal" college before coming to USNA or USMA or USAFA but it doesn't make the 4 years go any faster

It is possible, and I went to school with a few cadets who had transferred (some runners in fact). But I think in every case they had only done a single year of undergrad before attending.

Getting accepted might be harder, as the process would be the same. But most Congressmen are used to giving their nominations to HS Seniors.
