Three Year Enlistment Promoted by Army and Air Force
The Army and Air Force urge volunteer enlistment over the draft and push the three-year option. A volunteer aged 18 to 35 may choose two to six year terms, with 21 months for 19 to 25 year olds if joining the Reserve. Three-year service offers branch choice, possible technical training, and officer prospects, including OCS or direct commissioning for top performers. They emphasize preferring a capable three-year recruit to a shorter term.
