No, they didn’t. I was in the USAF during Vietnam, and the enlistment was four years. The only service that had a two year hitch was the Army with draftees.

I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1966 and had a choice: 2, 3 or 4 years.
I chose 3 years rather than 2 thinking it might keep me from going to VN straight out of boot camp.
I was right. I was assigned to a mortar battery at Camp Pendleton ... 6 weeks later I was off to 'Nam. See how smart I was :)
