So he decided he wanted to come home. & honestly I am soooo happy. He survived 3 weeks in boot camp and I'm proud of him for that lol. But he's home and here to stay. They cut off all his hair [aww] he had long hair, he looks so different lol. But anyways just letting you ladies know that I dont need this board anymore! But I will miss u guys.

Wow, I didn't know people could just decide to leave the Army in the middle of basic. I thought once you were in basic, you'd signed on the dotted line and were committed unless you were dishonorably released or something. Guess I was wrong!

I did do some research and found that recruits who have been in the Army under 6 months can separate under an ELS (Entry Level Separation), which is neither honorable or dishonorable, but that usually takes more than a few weeks since it is usually granted only after every other effort has been made to increase the recruit's "compatibility" with military service.

Below, I've linked a page that seems to describe well what I found on other sites:

Of course, you can feel free to hang around if you'd like, but if you don't, I hope everything works out well for you, Zenycha.
