Active Duty means Active Duty in the military, so I'm assuming they'd require some documentation.

I doubt it.
On the other hand, the US Military does not take lightly misrepresentation of serving...

Someone on reddit [0] seems to have signed up for that option accidentally, so it would appear they don't require any documentation.

That reflects some provisions of the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act, which limits what debt collectors and landlords can do when someone is called to serve. Interest rates on loans are reduced to 6%. Debt collection efforts are restricted. That law is from 1940, and is written with the assumption that creditors, too, must support the war effort.
