That seems insane, I thought your contract just obligated you to 8 years plus maybe a year more if you get deployed before your contract ends.

Yes, or even longer, depending on what the person's specialty was. I work with a woman that has been out of the Navy over 20 years, but because of her specialty, has been informed she could be called back to active duty any time (she is in her 40's and been out of the Navy for 20 years)

It is unethical and immoral but it is still legal to do. What disturbs me is the whole "try one" program. See, people are allowed to "try one" year of service and if they like it they are under no obligation to leave. However, they do not tell the recruits that "stop loss" trumps "try one" and these people are now stuck in military service outside the bounds of the contractual agreement signed by the recruit. It is absolutely disgusting and definitely a practice that is not being "supportive of the troops".

Someone may have just re-enlisted for the 30 and out
program. The first time re-enlistment pays well .

There are always stipulations and fine print involved with every service members contract. However, if one is in a critical field, perhaps. I dunno all of the details in this.
