That's been going on awhile. When i was in the USN, you signed up for "4+2", which meant 4 years active duty and 2 years reserve duty. If you did more than 4 years active duty, it counted towards your 6 year total commitment. I put in all of my time on active duty, but I knew many others who did their 4 years, then got out and didn't think the govt was seroius about the additional 2 years. Well, the govt gets their poiund of flesh, but these people (just like me) signed their name on the dotted line of their own accord and free will...
