Hundreds of Army aviation officers who were set to leave the military are being held to another three years of service after they say the branch quietly reinterpreted part of their contract amid retention and recruitment issues.

The shift has sparked an uproar among the more than 600 affected active-duty commissioned officers, including some who say their plans to start families, launch businesses and begin their civilian lives have been suddenly derailed.

“We are now completely in limbo,” said a captain who had scheduled his wedding around thinking he would be leaving the military this spring.

That captain and three other active-duty aviation officers who spoke to NBC News spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation. . . .

Imagine volunteering to accept potentially fatal orders with criminal penalty if you choose not to. This is why it is a bad idea.

"We believe your contract says something we didn't believe before and of you don't like it we will imprison you, give you a negative mark on your civilian record, and claw back financial incentives and sue you for wasted training where you did not meet your production obligation. See you in the court which we operate and staff and pay for, but meanwhile live in a cell."

Volunteer military means voluntarily joining, but not voluntarily leaving.
