If you commission in to the Air Force as a non-rated officer (not a pilot, navigator, air battle manager) you'll be required to serve 4 years active duty. Pilots are required to serve 10 years. Basically it would be 8 years active (2ish years for flight school, 6 years actually flying) then 2 years inactive........
