Jackson entered the US Military Academy at West Point in 1842 and graduated in 1846. He served in the Mexican War and stayed in the US Army until 1861, so he served in the "old army for nine years or a little less.

Jackson resigned from the Army to take a position as a professor at VMI - the Virginia Military Institute. This was a state-run military academy - just about every souther state had one. VMI still exists as a four year college, still turning out graduates who are then commissioned as officers in the US military. Jackson taught at the school for ten years, until the Civil War started. He served in the Confederate Army right at two years, until he was mortally wounded.

So, all together, not counting the teaching at VMI, Jackson was an army officer for seven years and a cadet for four.
