Billy asked:
iwas hoping only to spend 2 years in the NAVY i was wondering does anyone know if thats thats even possible to serve2 or am igoing to hve to serve 4, and does anyone know the other lenghts of the contracts for the military (i.e marine corps, air force, army, and navy)
FOR THE ARMY THE MINIMUM IS 2 YEARS
it’s four, and then there is tar, (temporarily active reserve) there are special considerations to their service time, I was active so I don’t know much about it.
the minimum in the army is now three years not two.
2 yrs when your 2 yrs are up there try and get you to enlist for anthoer 2 yrs if that happens then you served 4 yrs instead of 2 yrs
8 years is the minimum enlistment. Depending on your job or MOS your 8 years can be broken up into 2, 4, 6 or 8 years active with the remainder inactive reserve.
danny is right but not quite accurate. you can enlist in the army for 15 months, 2 yrs, 3 yrs, 4 yrs, 5 yrs or 6 yrs + training for each.
actually you enlist in any branch for 8 years…..you can get 2 years of ACTIVE time, but you are in IRR for the rest of the 8 years.
