4 yrs for navy
All contracts are for 8 years in total. The shortest for the Navy right now is 4 years AD, 4 years IRR. The Army was offering 2 year contracts but probably not now. For the most up to date information contact a Recruiter.
Right now three years is the minimum, although in some rare cases the Army will offer a two year contract for some jobs with short AITs. I seriously doubt they are offering any of those right now, I haven’t seen one on in awhile.
Regardless of how long your active duty contract is, you have an overall eight year obligation. The way that works is that you spend a certain amount of time active (around three or four years) and what is left after you serve your active time will be spent in the Individual Ready Reserve, or the IRR. During your IRR time you can be recalled to Active Duty for emergencies. Some people were recalled for Iraq but most other people are left alone.
The shortest active duty enlistment contract is 15 months, after Basic and your A School. AIT/ Tech School.
Followed by 2 years in the drilling Reserves ( two days a month )
Followed by 4 years in the IRR inactive Reserves.
All enlistment contracts are for 8 years.
These are called National Call to Service enlistments.
The Navy allows more NCS enlistments then the other services combined do.
The Navy uses NCS as a enlistment tool for the Navy Reserves.
And the Navy allows recruits a wider selection of jobs than the other services do.
But the down side, the Navy will not let a NCS recruit, stay on active duty after thier 15 months, you must separate and go into the reserves.
The other problem, is you do NOT qualify for the Gi Bill when doing a NCS enlistment.
Every service has NCS enlistments, its mandated by Congress.
But there may be only 400 NCS enlistments available each year, so they are hard to get, basicly by the end of October, all the slots are gone.
