No...it is not. There is no verbal contract. There is only the enlistment documents. Which, by the way, is also key here. Enlistment. Key is not, was not, and now never will be a military "officer". Do not address him as such. Officer's are commisioned. Not all military members are officers.

What in the hell does West Point have to do with the Air Force?
No offense intended, Will...so don't take it that way. But, you attract a pretty bizare element, based on this and other posts. My recruiter didn't lie to me. Neither did anyone else's that I know. Sure, they exagerate. Who in a sales capacity doesn't? "Buy them a house"? I'm more likely to believe that your friends misheard the recruiter when he told them that housing was free. "Free house"? I dunno, man.

As for Private Key? Shoot him.
