EVERYONE...regardless of if they go in as active duty or reserve have an eight (8) year service requirement. Your friend will go through boot camp, then onto technical training and then if she is in the reserves will be sent to her reserve unit for indoctrination and then back home. IF her unit is called to active service she will have to do pre-deployment training with her unit and will then deploy where ever her unit is going. If she's in the Army and she signed up for four (4) years she will be on inactive reserve except during her one weekend a month/two-weeks a year, or unless her unit is called. After her four year contract is up, she will still be on an inactive reserve status until her eight years of mandatory service is up. They wouldn't call her up after her initial contract is up unless we got ourselves into another large conflict and they needed bodies. She should know off the top of her head how many years she signed up for. Most people do miss that little loop-hole of the eight years of mandatory service though. Why are you so worried about it anyway. You aren't in the military. If you are so concerned about her you should go in with her. Or do you want to live forever?

Everybody that joins the military signs for a total of 8 years. If they go active duty, they can serve anywhere from 2-5 years on active duty and the rest of the time in the Inactive Ready Reserve. Since the Global War on Terrorism started, some people have been reactivated, but compared to how many are on that list, it is not many.
Nobody will deploy until they get to their first Permanent Duty Station after all of their training is complete. They could get to their first PDS and the unit they are assigned to could already be deployed and they will deploy right away.
Something else could happen as well. If you are in a unit that is 90 days out from deploying (in the Army anyway), something happens that is called a Stop Loss/Movement. Even if you are supposed to get out of the Army, you cannot until the deployment is over.
Hope this helps.

If she signed on the bottom line, then she's in for whatever periodshe signed for. She will proceed from Basic to Advanced Individual Training. After that, the Army decides where she goes. Simple as that.

I don't know whether you're seven years old, or just trying to type like you are, but you'd stand a much better chance of getting your questions answered if: 1. you cut down on the CAPITAL LETTERS, 2. lose the "please please please" it looks desperate and ignorant. 3. ask coherent questions, my guess is that your friend might be called up for active duty at any time after she signed up even in the middle of basic, but if she isn't in a position to know I don't know who would be, certainly not myself. I also don't understand why getting an answer to your question should be such a desperate matter from your perspective.
