I signed off on a 6-year infantry contract in the army, and honestly, I regret it. I wasn't scheduled for enlistment that day however I got upgraded to enlistment at MEPs right after the medical and didn't have much to think over my decision until I got home. Im currently in DEP and I've got over one month until Im shipping out. Is it possible to change the length of enlistment from 6 to 4 years?

Until you raise your right hand and sign the dotted line, you are not bound

I have done both, however as far as I've read, the oath of elistment at MEPs is irrelevant until you take the second one before Basic.

Cristian Nicoles - that is correct. Despite what anyone tells you, there are no real consequences for walking away at this point.

You should be able to. Just let your recruiter know. It might affect your enlistment bonus if you’re getting one.
