They are supposed to. It says, "I hereby certify that

carefully; it has been fully explained to me, and I understand it and the conditions under which I am enlisting."
That statement is in the paragraph above the signature.
It's possible that they don't all read it carefully. However, will that excuse stand up in court? If the clause about extended service is in the contract, and the service member signs the contract where it states that the member "read this agreement carefully" and had it "fully explained", then how can the service member argue that he or she didn't know about it? How can the member say that it's "unfair"?
