What is the service obligation associated with TA school list?

• A. 2 year service obligation
• B. 1 year service obligation
• C. 3 year service obligation
• D. No service obligation

Answer: (A)

When you use Tuition Assistance for courses on the approved TA list, there’s a built-in requirement to stay in the Navy (or your branch) for a period after you finish the funded training. That period is two years. The idea is to ensure the government recoups the investment by you continuing to serve for a minimum time once the training is complete. The two-year obligation starts after you complete the TA-funded course(s), and it applies regardless of how many courses you took. If you leave early, you can be required to repay part or all of the TA funds. Once you’ve completed those two years, the obligation is satisfied.

The other options don’t fit because they don’t align with this standard two-year commitment: shorter one-year or no obligation wouldn’t reflect the intent to retain personnel for a minimum period after funding, and a longer three-year term isn’t the established requirement.
