Aviation Electronics Technician(AT) enlistment length?

So according to BUPERS the service obligation for the AT Rating states "60-month" service obligation.

Here's the link:

Does this mean if I'm selected as an a AT as opposed to an AE I would sign an enlistment extension for an additional year? I definitely do not mind, just curious. At the bottom of the page it states it was updated JUN2014 so it seems to be current. Thank you in advance for any input.

When I signed it was 4 years. Could've changed.

That's interesting, I haven't heard about ATs requiring a 5 year contract. Since it is a recent change, none of the ATs at my command would have been affected, so I can't ask anyone.
If you already signed a contract, then I would talk to a legal officer before signing any extensions. It might only apply to people who haven't signed their initial contract yet.

Thank you both. Chief told me she'll look into it and get back to me tomorrow.
