Officers contracts are basically the same.

Thank you for your time served Pan, but enlisted and officer contracts are very different.
Under enlisted you re-enlist about every 5 years. If the 5 years ends and you do nothing you are excused from service (extenuating sircumstances non-withstanding aka stop-gap).
Under officer if you do nothing at the end of your first 4 years you are still in. If you DO put in the paperwork to resign you do NOT resign your commission. At anytime until age 60 you can be called back into military service. Unless you are disabled somehow, or already serving in a public office you are liable to be called into active duty. As I said before they do NOT lie about this fact, and drill it into our heads in the Academy, ROTC, and OCS before we get our commission. He knew what could happen now he's suing because it did, so I cant be sympathetic to it.
