Yes you can.
You will be initially interviewed by your CO, and possibly a senior officer from another unit. They will undoubtedly attempt to a) get you to change your mind and b) attempt to discover your reasons for wanting to leave.
Bear in mind that the longer you have been in, the higher your rank, and the more training you have received the more it will cost you.
It is not in the best interests of anyone to have a malcontent within the ranks so they will let you go. Your discharge papers will reflect your method of discharge, and you will be disbarred from re-joining (the rules may have changed).
Once your mind is made up no-one will stop you from leaving.

Yes, in the RAF at least, it's called PVR (Premature Voluntary Retirement). and you can apply whenever you feel like it. You may not get accepted for PVR, but chances are, you will. Because of PVR'ing you'll probably lose some money (pension etc), but if that's what the individual wants, then fair play. I've seen a few guys PVR, from Sgt's and Chiefs down to SAC's Anyone can apply. The army will have this system in place, but they may not call it PVR.

no you cant. Im a serving soldier and have a 22 year contract with a 1 year termination clause. If he is still in training then he maybe able to leave with a couple of weeks notice dependent on his age.
In 1992 they changed all military contracts from 4 and 9 year ones with the option to pvr to 22 year ones.
sorry bud

the total is round four hundred (The Strategic stability;IISS 2008) oftentimes Challenger II. the united kingdom is envisioned to fulfill objectives for palms relief; one of those number of useable tanks consisting of Challenger Mk1 or maybe the mind-blowing Chieftain MkV ought to were scrapped. i will not locate any connection with sales of older British tanks to overseas international places; even although someplace like Pakistan ought to offer their eye-teeth to get carry of Mk V Chieftains - they could beat the Indian T72s palms down and ought to nicely be notably deadly hostile to the hot technology of tanks if supplemented with different aspects of bolt-on armour that are available in lately. my own feeling is that Chieftain MkVs and Challengers are lurking in some warehouse with a bolt by their gun barrels to render them at cutting-edge unuseable, therefore satisfying the palms administration human beings. yet then, what use are tanks in in the present day's battlefield? A contentious question which I, as an ex RNXS cook dinner, won't be able to answer.

Yes you can. In 1976 it would have cost a corporal £150. Slightly less for a private. Allowing for inflation etc. No problem.
