a. My enlistment is more than an employment
agreement. As a member of the Armed Forces of the
United States, I will be:

(1) Required to obey all lawful orders and perform
all assigned duties.

(2) Subject to separation during or at the end of
my enlistment. If my behavior fails to meet acceptable
military standards, I may be discharged and given a
certificate for less than honorable service, which may hurt
my future job opportunities and my claim for veteran's
benefits.

(3) Subject to the military justice system, which means, among other things, that I may be tried by military courts-martial.

(4) Required upon order to serve in combat or
other hazardous situations.

(5) Entitled to receive pay, allowances, and other
benefits as provided by law and regulation.

b. Laws and regulations that govern military
personnel may change without notice to me. Such
changes may affect my status, pay, allowances, benefits,
and responsibilities as a member of the Armed Forces
REGARDLESS of the provisions of this enlistment /
reenlistment document.

c. In the event of war, my enlistment in the Armed
Forces continues until six (6) months after the war ends,
unless my enlistment is ended soon by the President of
the United States.

10. MILITARY SERVICE OBLIGATION FOR ALL
MEMBERS OF THE ACTIVE AND RESERVE
COMPONENTS, INCLUDING THE NATIONAL GUARD.

a. FOR ALL ENTLISTEES: If this is my initial
enlistment, I must serve a total of eight (8) years. Any part
of that service not served on active duty must be served in a
Reserve Component unless I am sooner discharged.

b. If I am a member of a Reserve Component of an
Armed Force at the beginning of a period of war or national
emergency declared by Congress, or if I become a
member during that period, my military service may be
extended without my consent until six (6) months after the
end of that period of war.

d. As a member of the Ready Reserve I may be required
to perform active duty or active duty for training without my
consent (other than as provided in item 8 of this document) as
follows:

(1) In time of national emergency declared by the
President of the United States, I may be ordered to active duty
(other than for training) for not more than 24 consecutive
months.

(2) I may be ordered to active duty for 24 months,
and my enlistment may be extended so I can complete 24
months of active duty, if:

(a) I am not assigned to, or participating
satisfactorily in, a unit of the Ready Reserve; and

(b) I have not met my Reserve obligation; and

(c) I have not served on active duty for a total of
24 months.

(3) I may be ordered to perform additional active
duty training for not more than 45 days if I have not fulfilled my
required training duty satisfactorily. If the failure occurs during
the last year of my required membership in the Ready
Reserve, my enlistment may be extended until I perform that
additional duty, but not for more than six months.

(4) When determined by the President that it is
necessary to support any operational mission, I may be
ordered to active duty for not more than 90 days if I am a
member of the Selected Reserve.

11. FOR ENLISTEES / REENLISTEES IN THE NAVY,
MARINE CORPS, OR COAST GUARD: I understand that if I
am serving on a naval vessel in foreign waters, and my
enlistment expires, I will be returned to the United States for
discharge as soon as possible consistent with my desires.
However, if essential to the public interest, I understand that I
may be retained on active duty until the vessel returns to the
United States. If I am retained under these circumstances, I
understand I will be discharged not later than 30 days after my
return to the United States; and, that except in time of war, I
will be entitled to an increase in basic pay of 25 percent from
the date my enlistment expires to the date of my discharge.

12. FOR ALL MALE APPLICANTS: Completion of this form
constitutes registration with the Selective Service System in
accordance with the Military selective Service Act. Incident
thereto the Department of Defense may transmit my name,
permanent address, military address, Social Security
