The Army and Air Force will push three year voluntary enlistments despite draft legislation.

Air Force offers similar incentives and Cadet training remains open to qualified men. Draft-age enlistments run 21 months active service while eighteen year olds may volunteer for one year, with short-term volunteers re-enlisting as needed.
