Professional Soldiers ® - View Single Post - 15 month enlistment option now nationwide

I note that is says 15 months after training. If you take 12 months to get trained then you will serve a total of 27 months. I also note the Reserve/NG/IIR time.

Let's face it guys, for the most part the military runs on privates. If all you can do is a private's job then we don't need a private with step pay over 20 years doing it. That's the old "Up or Out" program. The military does take it a step too far with some ranks and MOSs.

I think somebody who is coming up on two years in the service knows if they hate it and want to get out or like it and will re-up.

I like it but may have voted for 18 months.
