TCTori C. Regimental Medical Officer
Hello,
Most officers serve between 3 and 12 years. This is known as a short service commission. This doesn't necessarily mean that you have to leave after your initial contract finishes. You will have the opportunity to apply to extend your service through the intermediate Regular Commission (IRC) and Regular Commission (RegC), the latter allowing service up to the age of 60.
I am afraid my knowledge of how long soldiers can serve is hazy at best. Georgina S. might be able to help though, or direct you to someone who can.
