Enlistment Term Reform Takes Effect in Army
The new term of enlistment in the U S army becomes effective today. Capt Thomas F Ryan at Indianapolis says many misunderstand the act. Enlistment is seven years but three years may transfer to reserves or four years to reserves. If discharged or re-enlisting elsewhere, and after four years remains, transfer to reserves allows freedom but requires address updates. After four years non discharge, soldiers transfer to reserves and may work elsewhere with no duty unless called for hostilities. Thus many see the term as four years.
