While you can enlist in the Army National Guard while you are 17, you are required tom obtain your high school diploma or GED. If your friend does not do so within what his unit deems a reasonable time period (generally the time he was on track to finish when he enlisted) he will be in violation of his contract and charges can be filed against him.. My advice is that if he wants to drop out, contact the education center right away and start pursuing a GED so that he will not be in violation of his contract. On a side note, the way the military is set up currently, if you wish to pursue a successful career even as enlisted, your friend will need to pursue a college education. Promotion points are given up to 100 points for college credits. In order to become a Sgt or SSgt in many cases, this can keep you from being promoted.

Unless you have a medical condition which precludes you from serving, you cannot "drop out" without facing charges of desertion.
If a parent signed consent forms prior to the individual attaining legal age. Then a contract has been made for the time that was agreed to in the signup papers.
It may even come to a situation that a parent could be held legally liable for the contract but I have never seen that happen.
If the enlistee can prove a psychiatric problem or medical problem then it is possible that the enlistee could get a medical discharge.
That said.
Once you enlist. You are in for the time agreed upon and that is it.
It is a very serious act if you "drop out" of the military. Your records stay with you for your entire life and will affect the type of work you can get, your education and your ability to get a passport or other government issued documents.
You need an answer from a lawyer not Yahoo.
Good Luck.

The military requires (I believe) a high school education and be age 18 or above to join. How did they join before graduation, at 17? Is it the delayed entry program they're in?

you could save your interest and be an complete time pupil even as interior the nationwide safeguard. the purely issues you may want to stumble upon is once you do your annual 2 week preparation it would want to intrude with a number of your instructions. There are possibilities to take college instructions even as deployed. many times the instructions provided are widespread electives. also, once you've an information superhighway connection you could take instructions on line.
