I'm sure he just stayed until he got his 20 years.

Your first example is someone who went to Officer Candidate School, and after proving to be a competent officer, later was sent to degree completion program.
Your second was a selectee for funded legal education program. 25 per year, already officers, are selected and sent to law school.
There are multiple great programs like that, mostly associated that the selectees already have some skin in the game (commission, an AA, etc.)

The answer to that, at least in the last three decades, is no.
