Can I get a 2 year contract for the airfore? it is possible to get one? If so, how?

Answer 1

shortest for the the af is 3 i think, the army and marines are the only ones with two years

reason being they give you lots of training therefore they want something in return, the more technical the job, the more time you owe cuz they paying for you to learn.

Answer 2

I thought that I remembered hearing something about that so I looked it up. I included the link below. I think it basically goes like this. There is no flat out 2 year contracts. There is a two year Active duty. And it would start when you got to your first duty station. Then you can decide whether or not you would like to join the Guard or Reserves for 24 months. And then after that you can join either active duty or stay in the guard or neither. BUT you for 8 years (not 6) you are under "contract" even if you decide not to stay active duty or reserve or guard, you are in an inactive status. Which basically means if they need to send you somewhere they can send you.

Answer 3

The only way to get a 2 year stint in the AF is if you breach an AFROTC contract and are forced to enlist for a maximum of 2 years. This isn't a good thing though...

Normally for officers it is a 4 year min commitment (after college) while the enlisted have 4 - 6 year mins depending on the re-enlistment/enlistment contract and obligation.

Answer 4

Actually for the Air Force the initial enlistment contract is for 6 years, you have your choice of 4 years active or all 6 years active, but the contract is for 6 years either way

Answer 5

nicely, he can serve a 2 12 months settlement if it rather is obtainable, yet in maximum circumstances it rather is not any longer & if he joins the marines, he's gonna be probably away for the subsequent 10 years. you sometimes sign a 4 12 months settlement, then you somewhat get positioned on reserve (whilst the term is up) in the event that they choose you for a minimum of yet another 4 years and doubtless yet another 2 afterwords. it is the way it rather is going to likely be around ten years earlier settling down and being around for a relatives and having a classic homestead life. additionally, he can get the G.I. invoice for training, yet he won't be waiting to apply it continuously at a school, and so on. till he's achieved with the marines. till he likes to take a class right here & there and then can circulate them later to a reliable college. because of the continuously having new orders (each 6 months to a minimum of one 12 months) and living at distinctive bases, and so on. All i will say is once you're below 25, enable him do what he needs (do no longer stress him the two way) and enable issues take it rather is course. once you're demanding and uncertain approximately each little thing merely enable him locate himself and you do the comparable. life is merely too short to rigidity approximately issues that may no longer rely in the 1st place.

Answer 6

Nope you only get a choice between 4 yrs and 6 yrs....

Even with that you will also be signing for the inactive reserve. This basically means that no matter what you pick for a total of 8 years they can call you back. Basically its a backdoor draft so if you sign for 4 you will be inactive reserve for 4 and six you will be on for 2.

On the inactive reserve you will have nothing to do with the AF unless they need to you go overseas..

Answer 7

all initial contracts are for EIGHT years. for the Air Force, at least three of those years must be Active Duty.

The Navy currently has National Call to Service; 15 months of Active duty commitment (following all training), followed by 24 months in the Reserves.

Answer 8

I think, in all military branches in the U.S., they require you to sign a contract for at least 4 years when you decide to enlist. Besides, why would you want to just spend 2years in service when you get a lot of benefits from the military?

Answer 9

Talk to a recruiter. I seriously doubt that you can.


You might be able to get a 2 year extension If you're recently separated from the Air Force.

Honestly I don't know.

Answer 10

Maybe in the Air Force reserves, but you can't get a good tech school if you don't sign for 4 years. do something cool like Aeriel refueling tech or non destructive technology.
