Best Answer

Eisenhower, who graduated from United States Military Academy at West Point in June 1915, was promoted to brigadier general in 1941 and retired when he became president of Columbia University in 1948. Following his presidency, 1953-1961, Congress restored Eisenhower's rank as general of the Army. Ike died a general in 1969.

So, the short answer is: 14 years.
