The original enlistment period for soldiers in the Civil War was typically three years. However, some soldiers initially enlisted for shorter terms, such as three months, especially during the early stages of the conflict in 1861.

Which Army MOS's are giving bonuses for enlistment?

It varies from day to day, typically your combat arms MOS's or high demand (technical) MOS's will offer the most incentive for enlistment. You will however need to score over a 50 on the ASVAB just to qualify for a bonus, keep in mind a bonus is an incentive for enlistment and not a tool to get you to sign.
