As many times as this comes up on the board, at least a couple of times a year, people still forget about the 3 year SF Enlistment Option.
No recycles and straight through and a weapons or engineer troop would be on a team in under a year. Plenty of guys served and got out.
BUT - any school worth going to had a TIS requirement meaning you had to extend or reenlist. The command loved to dangle those schools in front of young troops getting near ETS.
