You have a total commitment of eight years - any time you spend not on active duty or in a reserve component, you'll spend in what's known as the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). You're basically subject to recall during that time if you're needed.
The shortest enlistment period I'm aware of for time spent on active duty is two years, but again, the overall obligation is eight.
Most people when they join the military commit to four years active, and then two years inactive. Those who decide to commit to pilot training must commit to nine years.

It takes a while to become a military personal.
Expired appropriations are not available to obligate once they expire (if it's not obligated by the expiration date, they are no longer available). However, the unliquidated obligations (funds already obligated but not expensed) are available to use (or create expenditures) for up to five years from the date the funds expire. The obligated funds must be used for the intent they were they originally obligated.See the link below.

Mike Huckabee (born 24 August 1955) the 44th governor of Arkansas, conservative commentator for FOX NEWS, and repeated potential GOP presidential candidate, did not serve in the military. Describing himself as a 'foodaholic,' Huckabee was overweight for much of his life, and like many leading GOP conservative politicians, there is no record of any interest by Huckabee in enlisting in the military.
