hi.. i have a rather odd question...
ive wondered this for a while, mainly because my boyfriend always talks about going into the army.
my question is, if u enroll into the army, and u decide that u dont want to risk loosing ur family, or u just dont want to take part of it anymore, what happens?
can u just ask to be let out?
sorry this is a rather stupid/odd question
i was always under the impresion that u had to be injured, or have something very wrong in order to be let out..
im not meaning this question for canadians or americans or anything imparticular, its just a question for anyone who knows
thank u for reading my question 
If you join the Army there are very few options to get out and they don't make it easy. If you join the gaurd and go to basic before you turn 18 you can leave whenever you want until the day of your 18th birthday (my sister left for basic before she turned 1
once you hit 18 you're stuck until your enlistment is up. They don't let pregnant women out or women with small children so they aren't going to let a man out who just wants to come home.
They do have hardship discharges for if your spouse, parent or children have something going on that you have to be around for. When I was very small my father got out for a couple years because they thought my grandma was dying and my grandpa needed him. I believe these are hard to get though.
My husband is in the army and usually your in for the duration of the enlistment you agreed too. As well as during a war time they can instate a stop loss for certain career feilds if needed and involuntarily extend your enlistment. So depending you might not even be able to get out at the end of you enlistment if a stop loss is invovled. I don't think they have any stop loss going on right now, but a few years ago they did. I love the military, and all the opertunities it's given our family. You just need to be sure you know exactly what you getting into, and always read everything as thourghly as possible, and if a recruter says your going to get something GET IT IN WRITING in the enlistment contract. I've know a few people who gotton burned by not getting it in writing and once you get to basic it doesn't matter what you were promised if it's not in writing you don't get it.
bekahscakes is right on everything she said. The military makes it very hard to get out or even change what job you are doing, The whole chain of comand thing. Get everything in writng. The contract is law!
If you sign up for four years you are prtty much in for four years, and so on and so forth.
thank u guys VERY much for ur answers!!!!!
ive always wonderd... and to be honest the military frightens me VERY much... i admire the men/women who are in it, and the spouses that go through it with them.. i cant imagine how tuff some of it would be...
i personally dont think i could stand being worried all the time... i would go crazy..
once again thank u very much for ur responces!! i learned alot from u...
thank you, nikki
