If you join the US armed forces, whats the required time of service before you're let off?
 
8 years. You can sign a contract for anywhere from 2 to 8 years, however any time after you active or reserve service must add up to 8 years (those last years are IRR)
 
It depends upon how long you enlist for. I understand the minimum enlistment now is four years.
 
8 years total. You might only do 4 years active duty but the next 4 will be in the IRR and yes you can be called up.
