Thanks bubblehead. That's definitely not my plan.
Even if it is your plan, there is nothing wrong with it.
I'm not sure why anyone would target the minimum after all the work it takes just to get in.
Had an 1835 colleague whose sole intent for coming in was to parlay the experience into political and other. The person used his family connections to get selected, as well as to get assigned to a niche SOF unit as an O2 after RNIOBC when there were other, more highly qualified people waiting in line. One of our mutual 1825 colleagues who was in our RNIOBC class, a former Army 18B, was astounded at the SOF unit assignment. From there, it was a niche mobilization with a SEAL team, again, jumping ahead of more highly qualified people who were waiting in line. Somehow received a meritorious BSM for that mobilization, came back, and then, as an O3, exited the Reserve. Said experience, and the BSM of course, are part of the person's LinkedIn profile and web site. I went to DCO school with the person and they treated it, RNIOBC and everything else like a big joke. His entire persona is extreme self-promotion and parlaying of family connections and his military "experience" for "ladder climbing."
What happens after 8 years? Do you sign a new contract for another term?
Nothing happens and you don't sign anything.
