I do not want to join, but I want to know. I've heard many people saying that you'll have to commit to additional years when they pay for your tuition. However, I can not find any website telling me that. I assume the army won't put it online, since that's not gonna look so good
Anybody here knows more?

There have been a lot of education benefits over the years. With vaious obligations.

I turned down a program which would have paid all my military pay, and I would be sent to college full time, no military duties, all my college expenses would be paid (including books/papers etc) and I would have to commit more time. Basically two years for each year of college.

There have been various other programs with the various services...

Maybe "many people" have not explained that to you.

Are you kidding me? No, you assumed wrong about the Army.

Go here to start:
GoArmy.com > Benefits > Education

Did you search for GI Bill? Look here:
Welcome to the GI Bill Website - U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs

They may be speaking of the reserves. In the reserves but you must serve in a drilling status for 6 years, vice the typical four, if you want GI bill benefits.

The Army National Guard may also be a different issue.

All information about military benefits are available somewhere online, just search.

The military doesn't need to bait and switch or hide anything; there are more people begging to join then there are available positions.
