Your time of service varied with the times. At the very beginning of the city, the soldiers only had to stay for one campaigning season. As the Roman territory expanded and more troops were needed the enlistment grew to fifteen years. Under Augustus the enlistment time was twenty years with another five years of reserve.

It depends on when you mean. At the time of the Republic it was 18 years. Augustus then reformed the army and raised the enlistment to 20 years with 5 more years as a reserve.

The military age was 17 to 47. The Marian reforms of 107 BC established a military career of 16 years. Augustus extended this to 20 years.
