Your training is counted toward your 6 years active-duty, but not your 4 years sea duty... so you won't have to do extra time active-duty, but you won't get shore duty until near the ed of your enlistment. Technically, you enlisted for 8 years... everyone does. But only 6 of those are active duty, and the remaining 2 are Inactive Ready Reserve.

I don't think that is correct. Your enlistment begins the day you swear in and ship to RTC as per your contract.
