When Cadets graduate they commission only if they choose to. But they make their decision in the sophomore year. Yes it is the oldest state funded military academy in the USA. Sometimes called West Point of the south.

if they graduate at VMI are they automatically commisioned as Officers in the armed forces?

is that a military academy just like west Point?
