You sign a 4 yr contract. 4yrs later you should be discharged. Example enter boot camp 1/1/2020 you should be discharged 1/1/2024 right?

My son said it didn't count. something about that's training not service. When I was in it did count that's why I asked.

Actually the calculation is 4 years minus one day, but yes any time you spend on active duty counts as time served, including the day you swore into active duty and hopped onto the plane.

As mentioned by SFC Ralph E Kelley, your time in Boot Camp counts. For your above example, you would be discharged on 12/31/2023

Your 1st contract will expire 4 years from your first day of boot camp. You are correct.
Are you already counting down days?
