35. remind him that enlistment is for 8 years
Edited on Thu Sep-29-05 01:42 PM by AllegroRondo
even if your initial contract is 2 years (or 3, 4, whatever), you must stay in Ready Reserve until 8 years after you sign. During that time, they can recall you for any reason. And it has happened to MANY people due to Iraq.

So unless he is willing to spend the next 8 years at the whims of the Army, dont do it.
