Actually I think you're mis-informed. EVERYONE who enlists in ANY branch of the military is signed up for 8 years. Active duty time may be as short as 2 years or as long as 6 years as thier initial active duty stint.
Once that active duty stint is completed they are then moved to the INactive reserves.
So, lets say you join the Navy for 4 years. You're on active duty for 4 years then you are placed in the inactive reserves for another 4 years.
The military has the right to call you back into service for that entire 4 years of inactive time you have.
This was in EVERY contract signed by EVERY person enlisting in the armed forces. If they didn't agree to what they were signing, they shouldn't have ever enlisted in the first place.
