目前國家正致力推行募兵制,此使從軍成為民眾選項之一。但是在軍中必須服 從上級命令,且需與同袍共營團體生活,志願從軍,事後發現無法適應軍中生 活者,大有人在。
由於志願士兵服役條例第6條第1項規定:「志願士兵服現役不得少於四 年。」同法第5-1條第2項更規定:「不適服志願士兵人員,未服滿現役最少年 限者,應予賠償。」又依志願士兵不適服現役賠償辦法第3條之規定,如果志 願士兵未服滿現役最少年限而申請退役者,應依尚未服滿現役最少年限之比例乘以所受領之三個月待遇,計算賠償金額。例如,志願服役者於服役1年即申 請退役時,由於最低服役年限為4年,其尚有3年(75%)之年限未服役,因此 該退役士兵需賠償三個月待遇總額之75%。
另外,依志願士兵服役條例第5-1條第3項規定:「曾受志願士兵「基礎訓練」 期間,得折算尚未完成兵役義務之應服役期。」假設該志願士兵「基礎訓練」 期間為八周,若其尚未服義務役時,縱然其實際服志願役之年限超過8週,但其日後服義務役時,仍僅得折抵8週,並繼續服滿其義務役期。

The government is actively promoting a volunteer-based military system, making military service a viable option for many. However, life in the military requires strict obedience to superiors and close communal living with fellow soldiers. It's not uncommon for some volunteers to later realize they are not suited for this lifestyle.
According to Article 6, Paragraph 1 of the Act of Military Service for Volunteer Enlisted Soldiers: "The military service for the Volunteer Enlisted Soldiers shall not be less than 4 years." Furthermore, Article 5-1, Paragraph 2 of the same law states: "Volunteer Enlisted Soldiers who have not served over the minimum service time should indemnify" Under Article 3 of the Compensation Guidelines for Volunteer Soldiers Found Unsuitable for Active Duty, if a volunteer soldier applies for discharge before completing the minimum required period, they must compensate the government. The amount is calculated based on the proportion of the unserved term, multiplied by the total pay for three months. For example, if a volunteer applies for early discharge after only one year of service (out of the required four), they have 75% of their service period unfulfilled. Therefore, they must pay 75% of their total three-month salary as compensation.
In addition, according to Article 5-1, Paragraph 3 of the Act of Military Service for Volunteer Enlisted Soldiers: "The number of service days of the military service basic training for Volunteer Enlisted Soldiers may be converted to that of the obligation of military service not fulfilled yet." For example, if the basic training period for a volunteer soldier is eight weeks, and the individual has not yet completed their mandatory military service, then - even if their actual volunteer service exceeded eight weeks - only the eight weeks of basic training can be counted toward their mandatory service. The individual would still need to complete the remaining duration of their mandatory term.
