I have considered becoming a part of the military for possibly the next 10 years, but I don't know if I want to make a 20 year commitment while I'm sitting in MEPS... would it be worth it to sign up if I'm only considering 5-10 years worth of service?

I'm a little confused by this question, and did some searching around the forum without a satisfactory answer. I actually cannot find any threads discussing what he's asking about. I too would like something more definitive; searching for 'time, team, team time detachment, bn vs. team' and all variations therein yielded no results; I'm prepared to endure the belittlement of the forum and ask again if I can't get a clear response, so hopefully someone can answer it here and save me a grilling.
My understanding is that training can be anywhere from about 70 weeks to two years - which leaves three years to work with a team... Is there some issue with admin or support time wherein 18x'ers aren't getting out to a team within their five year contract? Is this your concern?
