My dad was in the Air Force four years, and the Navy sixteen years. He was a chief petty officer when he retired.
My grandfather was in the Army Air Core during WWII, he was a mechanic. I have an article about him explaining that he was the only person small enough to fit in the engine while it was still on the plane. Apparently if he did the repairs it took hours instead of days.
My sister was in the Army for twelve years.
My brother in law was also in the Army.
My other brother in law is still in the Air Force, he might retire at twenty years, or he might keep going.
