If you join any branch of the army,navy,air force or marines is permanent or just for a certian amount of time

Question

I would like to join but not have to be worried about havig to go back when they say go home

Answer 1

I am a retired Air Force officer, and my status is permanent. As long as I am alive I am in the Reserve, although I seriously doubt that they will recall me once I get to be about 100 years old or so.

But if you enlist in any service your time in the service is for a specific time, subject to some variation. You normally enlist for 3-4 years and may have an additional time as a Reservist, during which time you could be recalled.

Once that time is expired you are home free and don't have to worry about going back--unless you want to.

So I would say pick your service (I assume you are from the U.S.) and go for it. Plan on being available for the time you agree to on enlistment. Once that time is up you will be a free man.

Answer 2

The minimum you must sign is a 4/4 or 5/3 contract. If you choose to be a Reservist, you must either sign the 4/4, 5/3, or 6/2 option. The first number is how many years you must spend in the military either active or drilling reserves. The last number is how many years you must spend in the Inactive Ready Reservse. They can call you up during your time in the IRR if sh!t hits the fan hard. The common active duty contract is 4/4 and reserve contract is 6/2 because a GI Bill is guaranteed. After your contract is over you can "re-up" and extend your time in the military.

Answer 3

Ummm ok have you not been up to date about whats going on in this world? But to answer you, must services are 4 years. But you can be called back to duty. You can be discharged if you have a serious injury though. I would say the best branch to join is the air force.

Answer 4

When you sign up, you have a six year commitment. I my case like many others, I served four and was on inactive reserve for two additional years. You could sign up and enlist for six years and be done with it. The Navy does that with those who are going to a long training school like Nuclear Power School. You can talk to the Navy about it.
However, the must important thing is knowing that while you are in the Military on active duty, you need to note everything that happens to you, like going to sick call or the doctor like Date, reason and treatment.
How did it happen like in an accident. No matter if you are on duty or off base and off duty, anything that happens you need to write it down. It will be important to you years later, trust me!
If you are going in during this war, you are in the drivers seat until you raise your hand and become a sailor or whatever. You have to get things in writing before you go in. They will offer you money and girls and everything, but they will take it all away if you do not get it in writing.
Don't be insulting to them, but in a nice way, demand the facts and the opportunities that are open.
Don't go to War! Don't go to War! Don't go to war because it will kill or wound you in one way or another. They won't tell you because the Service people are in denial about what could happen to them.. Good Luck!

Answer 5

Your first enlistment is ALWAYS for 8 years... usually 4 years active duty and 4 years in the reserve.

Answer 6

Well you have to be legal. And you can be called up again. So if you cant give that much to your country than do like the rest of nare do wells and go on welfare.

Answer 7

depends, i know if you go to ADFA u have 2 sign acontract for 9 years, but there are certain ways of going about it, i think usually the contract goes for double the amount of time they train u for plus one

Answer 8

There are different lengths of commitments you can choose from. You don't go permanent all at once.

Answer 9

4 Years with variable deployment times.

If you are needed, you are needed... Not much you can do about being deployed again and again.

Answer 10

Once you join, you go where they tell you when they tell you.
