Everyone who enlists in the United States Military, whether its for active duty (full time) or National Guard/Reserves (part time) incurs a MINIMUM eight-year service obligation. That's right -- when you sign on the dotted line, you commit yourself for eight years! For more information about military service, see: http://usmilitary.about.com/od/joiningthemilitary/f/obligation.htm

In the US, if you're signing up in the Regular forces (not the Reserves or National Guard), standard commitment is 4 years Active Duty followed by 4 years in the Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR), though there are some special jobs/programs where you commit to 2,3,5, or (for pilots) 7 years Active Duty. Depending on the program, after you separate/deactivate, you will either have to spend the remainder of the 8 years in the IRR or the drillng Reserves (weekend warriors), or a full 4 years in the IRR - when you can be "activated" at any time at the disgression of your service branch and the Department of Defense. HOWEVER, while on Active Duty, the government has the authority to unilaterally EXTEND YOUR ENLISTMENT INDEFINITELY in case of a declared Emergency -- such as "The War on Terror". Thousands of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan have had their enlistments extended this way.

Depends on the terms of your enlistment and which branch you are serving. Being called back to active duty after your term has ended can also occur. Most terms are for periods of 2,4, or 8 years.
