Civil War Union soldiers originally enlisted were either signed up for three months or the duration of the war. Many signed up for additional time once their initial stint was done. After the draft, the required time increased to three years.

What was the length of enlistment during Vietnam War?

USAF, USN, USCG, normally wanted 3 o 4 yrs out of a man; the USMC & USA settled for a minimum of a 2 yr enlistment. Draftees did 2 yrs; USA or USMC. Men sent to Vietnam did 12 months...their trng was roughly 6 months, thus they did 18 months out of 24 months with a very good chance of an early out (if "Nam" time) at 18 months (instead of the full 24 months active duty). Bottom line: a drafted man did 24 months active duty; if he went to "Nam", he might only do 18 months active duty. Men could volunteer for 2 yrs. But they got what the army gave them (infantry!). If he volunteered for 3 or more yrs he got to choose his MOS school (he was not guaranteed the Job...ONLY THE SCHOOL). Another words, if a man chose tanks, then he was guaranteed tank school (armor school), after he graduated he could still be sent to the infantry, etc.

Which Army MOS's are giving bonuses for enlistment?

It varies from day to day, typically your combat arms MOS's or high demand (technical) MOS's will offer the most incentive for enlistment. You will however need to score over a 50 on the ASVAB just to qualify for a bonus, keep in mind a bonus is an incentive for enlistment and not a tool to get you to sign. You should be more concerned about the job YOU are choosing to do for the next few years over a bonus that will only last for a few months.
