can my son leave the army after 1 years service?

Answer 1

sorry sir but it is a mandatory 2 year minimum, there also is the possibility that he gets a discharge (honorable means something happened to him out of his circumstances but dishonorable means he got kicked out for doing something bad)

Answer 2

Yes he can if he is discharged under mental instability.

The down point being that he could never serve again in any Military service or Police force that use discharging weaponry....

So if your a Brit send a letter to the C.O of his unit asking that it is urgent that you meet to discuss your Son Pvt********,then tell the C.O about how unhappy your son is in service, now he may suggest a alternate career maybe a supply Corp like transport or supply this could continue his career and he maybe a happy chappy trying his hand somewhere else.....

But you need to ask him why he want's out it maybe bullying if so tell the O.C and he will kick a*s that I Promise...And there will be no come backs make sure your son knows this O.C's won't put up with bully's .......Good Luck..

Answer 3

If you are asking if you can basically "quit", no. He will either be seperated, most commonly done for medical or failure to adapt reasons. Or, he can get into trouble, and get kicked out. Most of these are Bad Conduct Dicharges. and some actually get dishonorable, which he doesn't want either of.

Employers want to see Honorable in the space that asks for discharge type. If they don't, many will go to the next application/ resume. The only real exception is medical. If you are injured bad enough, they will put you out, and though it isn't honorable, you can't help it if you got hurt.

He can forget about most careers in the federal gov't, and all careers that have anything to do with law enforcement.

My advice would be for him to stick it out. Or, he can live with the consequences.

**Concerning the above answer: You used to be able to buy your way out, but they no longer allow it. And, when they did allow it, the cost was huge, and 99.99% of the people couldn't afford it anyway.

Answer 4

doubtful.. all initial contracts are for 8 years. If he accepted a bonus.. he cannot leave before he has fulfilled the provisons of getting that bonus..

right now the absolute shortest contract(that must be the INITIAL contract signed at MEPS) is National call to Servoice.. 15 months of Active duty that begins after he completes Basic training and all schooling, followed by 24 months in the reserves.

CAN MY SON LEAVE THE ARMY AFTER A YEAR?
can we do this can we do that can i do this can i do that??????

passive aggresssive society . after a year if he is still alive or sick to the stomach

Answer 6

The best way for him to play it cool is to twist his ankle. This type of injury will take him out of action and can be easily re-administered. The recovery length should be enough for him to lay low until his time is up. Also, once it heals it will be fine and he will be able to walk as if it had never happened. Hope this helps.

Answer 7

When he enlisted, he signed a contract for a set period of time.
Unless there has been a serious family emergency that would qualify him for a hardship discharge, NO.
He signed a contract & needs to live up to his committment.
Failure to do so can result in jail time.

Answer 8

as far as im aware,most of my cousins being in the armed forces,3 years is the minimum contract,dishonurable discharge is the only way out,or awol,neither of wich i recommend,but your son will get lots of leave in due course,hope this helps.

Answer 9

As the mum of a serving soldier I can say yes but he must give 1 years notice.

Answer 10

He can't leave untill his enlistment is up. A medical problem. Or he gets kicked out for something.
