As of today, I have fulfilled my active duty obligation to the Army.
When I enlisted in 2008, it was for three years; that three years was "renewed" when I commissioned via OCS in December that year. Since those three years are now up, I'm no longer an "obligated volunteer," my Officer Record Brief (ORB) now just has a blank spot.
I'm free *to try* to quit whenever I want. I say that because there's one has to submit a "Request For Release from Active Duty" (REFRAD), which then must be accepted before I can begin out-processing. Although I know one of my OCS classmates has already resigned, I plan to stay in, at least for at least the time being.
Even if I quit, though, I'd still be on the inactive reserve list until 2016 -- it's still possible to be called up should we have to invade some other country.

With current state of the economy stay in. Maybe try to get an assignment here in Korea :). Meanwhile work a State Department application in parallel, if it comes through, then start your resignation process.
