| Topic | I think people who Join the Army should be allowed to QUIT. Do you agree?? |

On the other, if you're forced to stay in, you're going to be shit at your job and if deployed, could be a detriment to your fellow soldiers. It's been over a decade since I was in the military but when I was in basic, you could quit. It was only available during basic. Possibly during AIT, I don't recall exactly. I believe it was a Chapter 11 discharge that you could request. Failure to adapt. Uncharacterized discharge with no eligibility for benefits. Drill Sergeants had no interest in training a recruit that didn't want to be there and would happily pawn you off to a Transition Center for out-processing. Had one kid that refused to do anything in my BCT company. Wouldn't participate in PT, refused BRM and FTX exercises, even refused chow. Said that he was terrified of being deployed and didn't want to go through with basic anymore. Company Commander almost tripped over himself getting the paperwork together to steel toe his ass out. --- "Old soldiers never die, they just fade away" R.I.P PFC Dusty Seidel ...
