SF was a wholly volunteer option with a minimum 3 year active duty commitment in the Regular Army (RA) vs an involuntary 2 year active duty commitment as a draftee (US).
To meet the commitments, we were allowed to be discharged and voluntarily re-enlist for the SF option.
One thing about that, we did not receive our signed official discharge certificates and orders until after we had re-enlisted.
