So I have been looking around and saw reference to the creation of a 2 year Active enlistment. I understand all contracts are 8 years, but also know that it varies on how that is split between between Active and IRR. The only Service I have seen explicitly list 2 year active enlistments is the Navy Reserve, and that qualified it for "some careers" (but which ones?).
So, does anyone know if these are available? If so, what careers in Oklahoma would they have available. Several years ago I took the ASVAB and scored in the upper 90s. Not sure how I would fare today but I am confident it would be competitive. I have undergraduate and master's degrees, and so I could be a candidate for an officer. I have had most interest in the Navy and Air Force/ANG, simply because my family has history in those services (AAF/ANG for my side, Navy for my wife's) and I have a better understanding of them.
I have not contacted a recruiter, as I figured I would post here and try to get a bit of straight talk from those with experience first. Not looking to commit to anything yet, but any "feelers" you guys could share is appreciated.
Thanks.
