What a sad christmas present from the state :(

[Cpt. Stewker]

The 4 year remark I made is based what I was told by my local recruitment office. I have talked to my recruiter several times over the last couple years about joining, and what he has told me that the average time spent in the military is 4 years for an enlisted soldier. You may actually sign for 8 but the vast majority of enlisted personnel never end up on serving for that long.

As to what branch I was in, I'm not in the military, I do have several family members currently in and that previously were in various branches though. And as to what date, if you were to look at my birthday that would be obvious, If I was in at the moment, the current date would be right now, so there shouldn't be a "What date were...".
