In other words...at this point in time potential enlistees are being turned away and/or being put on the Delayed Entry Program. Congress will refrain from raising the force end levels for as long as possible because of the additional budgetary expense. The only way a draft would ever be reinstituted is if there is a major conflict...and at this point that does not appear to be on the horizon.
All current military personell are aware that they have an eight year obligation. They also know that their enlistments can be extended, and their retirements delayed at the descretion of the military. This is SOP and has been at least since the end of the 2nd World War.

King, why are you confusing them with facts and logic? Bush is to blame for everything since the Earth cooled, didn't you know?

One minute he's a war mongering cowboy, the next he has zero balls. Gotta love the hypocrisy. And why do you think because YOU have never heard of this sort of thing, no one else has? Oh yea, because you know eveyrthing.
