I think it is based on MOS and cost of training put towards an individual which determines length of service. Some may only have a 2 year active commitment (that may be requirements for drafted individuals). Also, I think the total commitment active/inactive = 8yrs. I’m not 100% certain, but I think it’s correct if not close.

This recall is most likely due to readiness, since our numbers are down. If you start seeing large deployments or buildup of troops with the recall, then yes, we are likely preparing for war.

I have no idea if it's still true? Everything has changed lately, understatement of the century huh? But it used to be all "regular" enlistments were for 8 years. 4 active 4 inactive reserve. I'm no expert on this but I believe you could also sign up in certain MOS's and such for 6 years, 2 regular active, 2 active reserve (the weekend warriors) and 2 inactive reserve.

But yes I believe a war of some type, somewhere, is on the horizon. Just too much crap going on! The tipping point is probably really close.
