During the Vietnam War, when a man enlisted or was drafted into the service (usually the Army), he was committed to 6 years of service; two on active duty, and the remainder of time in the INACTIVE reserves (subject to recall for emergencies only). If the man did his whole obligation time in the National Guard/Reserves, then he did his full 6 years in uniform (one weekend a month, plus two weeks annually).
If a serviceman did an extra 6 month tour in Vietnam (12 months plus 6 more) then he often qualified for a SIX month early out (discharge from the service at 18 or so months instead of the full 24 months of active duty). If the man had a year or so remaining for his enlistment, after completing his 12 months in Vietnam, then he returned to some Fort somewhere, and finished his time there.
DEROs was rotating out of Vietnam; ETS was honorably discharging from the service (ETS=Estimated Time of Service).
