The Navy has had an issue with it when their ships went coed several years back. It is also a way for some Army women who are less than thrilled with being in one of the areas they get deployed to and it gets them rotated back stateside early.

Oh yes, the US army isn't a civic duty and it takes quite a lot longer. Ours is from 6 months to a year depending whether you're cannon fodder or a group leader. As the women are volunteers they can withdraw until 45 days from the start, or they can be sent home if found unsuitable.
