Depending on the rate it can vary for the active time from 4-6 years, and one other thing to remember is that as new enlisted you will have to spend some time on the mess decks cleaning or serving food, often it is one time, but during times when new people coming to the ship was slow you will see people get sent back for a second stint.

Yes it's generally a 6-8 year active duty commitment for aviation officers. Some designators, like SWO, usually incur a 4 year active duty commitment.

Just about everyone, enlisted and officer, has a total active+inactive commitment of 8 years. That is, even if you separate at 4 years, you're eligible for another 4 years to be recalled if needed.

Definitely think seriously about it. If you want to minimize your obligation but also make the most of that time, either apply for an officer designator that is only 4 years active, or enlist in a rating that will provide the most useful training and/or compelling experience.

What are the officer designators that are only 4 years active? You listed SWO but what are the other options? Thank you for getting back to me
