I should know this because my parents were in the military but how do you “drop out”? Go AWOL?
I thought once you signed on the dotted line you belong to them for X years. He knew what the possibilities were when he enlisted.. he should sack up and see it through.
And to answer your question, it’s a lot of things.. badass is not one of them.

Nope. I think that the Army and all the rest of them will let you out before you finish Basic Training. All you have to do is tell them that you need to get out of the military for your own mental health.

I knew a guy who quit going to reserve meetings and the MP's came and got him. He spent the rest of his contract on active duty.

You do not belong to them until you take the oath. Signing doesn't mean shite.

When you're still in initial entry training you can more or less quit and they'll just separate you for failure to adapt. They don't really advertise that for obvious reasons.
eta- entry level separation is the term I was searching for. From what I've heard it's just like you've never joined at all.
