Can I sing a contract with a movie company like WB as a script writer while in the army?

Question by Chris: Can I sing a contract with a movie company like WB as a script writer while in the army?
I love the army and plan on staying in for 20 years unless something bigger comes along. I have goals to write and sell my scripts to movie companies like WB or MGM or Paramount etc. So i was also told if i sold a script somehow, i can’t sign a contract with them while in the army, but i also might be let go from the army because i could be making too much money. any one let me know please.

The studio is buying a script, not hiring you, so there is no conflict with your army commitment. The contract is transferring the rights to intellectual property from one party to another.
