This is totally false, usually circulated by enlisted barracks lawyers, You, Lt, should have learned better in your UCMJ classes at OCS, you commited to a contract with the U.S. Army, for a certain # of years, and are obligated to serve that many years, and more if the needs of the Army require it!
So stop your crying, you wont get rich on military pay, but you do make twice as much as an enlisted man, and start trying to act like a leader of men, since the enlisted men assigned with you are required to treat you as a dedicated leader and earn the pay that you are receiving until your obligation is up!!
Lastly, as a commishioned officer, if the Army has not paid for any of your educational training, all officers have the privilage of tendering their resignation, at any time, however this request must be approved by higher headquarters to become effective
Hope this helps
