Answer 1

Up until October 2003, the Army and Navy were the only services that offered active duty enlistments for periods of less than four years. However, as part of the FY 2003 Military Appropriations Act, Congress passed the National Call To Service Plan, which mandated that all of the services create an enlistment program which offered a two year active duty enlistment option, followed by four years in the Active Guard/Reserves, followed by two years in the Inactive Reserves (still the total eight year service commitment).

It's not really a "two-year enlistment." The actual time spent on active duty depends on the length of initial training required. The law requires the services to develop a program for 15 months of active duty, following initial training. For example, if a recruit is joining the Air Force, which has a boot camp that lasts about 7 weeks (including in-processing time), and gets a job that requires 9 weeks of job training, that person would incur a total active duty commitment of 19 months (4 months for training, plus 15 months active duty after training).

Following the active duty commitment, recruits will have to accept one of the following:

1. Reenlist on active duty (for a time-period that will be specified in the original enlistment contract)
2. Serve two years in the active National Guard or Reserves (this means a minimum of drilling one weekend per month, plus training for two weeks per year, plus the possibility of being recalled to active duty by the President for deployments/contingency operations, etc.).

After serving for the additional time period mentioned in (1) or (2) above, the commitment is not over over yet (remember, this is a total eight year commitment). Whatever time remains on that total eight year commitment, must be spent in one of the following programs:

* Active Duty
* Selected Reserves (The one that requires weekend drill and two weeks per year training)
* Inactive Reserves (The program where you can be recalled to active duty if needed, but don't perform weekend drill or annual training)
* Other program such as Peace Corps or Americorps
* Combination of any of the above

Answer 2

Yes, the Air Force does have "National Call to Service " enlistments , but the severely limit the number of people, who can enlist under the program.

The Air Force averages less than 400 national call to service enlistments a year.

So they are next to impossible to actually get.

You will generally not get to choose your job, the AF will tell you what you will do.

Generally it is jobs with no Tech School or a very short Tech School.

Answer 3

N O, all US Air Force Enlistments are 4 Years.

Answer 4

all militia contracts are 8 years long. at present the Air rigidity calls for that a minimum of three of those years be on energetic accountability. the army has some thing reported as NCS: national call to provider. You serve 15 months energetic accountability (initiating as quickly as all your education is executed,) then 24 months in the Reserves.

Answer 5

NCS contracts are few and far between. I've been recruiting a year and i've only had one person get one. There are a few stipulations #1 you need to have a 50QT or higher on the ASVAB #2 You need to be a U.S. citizen #3 you need to be a traditional High School graduate.

Answer 6

Negitive. Only 4 and 6. It's natural to not wan't to subject yourself to a 4 year commitment. It goes by fast.. If your worried about leaving home join the guard/reserves this way if you leave home it will be for one long period of 6 months or so then you come back home... Otherwise active duty its hard to come home sometimes.. Either way you will love the life if it truly interests you..

Answer 7

The total service commitment is ALWAYS 8 years. You can do 4 years active and 4 years IRR or 6 years active and 2 years IRR. You can be called to Active duty anytime during your IRR years.
