You can back out at any time BEFORE you go to MEPS and swear in on the day you are to ship out for basic. Your recruiter won't be too happy about it, but you can do that with no legal ramifications

I've heard you can. It will simply be an administrative discharge or entry level discharge. It's actually in the contract somewhere that if you fail to complete your initial military training within 11 months (I think) of joining you will recieve an administrative discharge. Don't listen to the others, or your recruiter for that matter. I'm positive you won't be charged with desertion or recieve a bad discharge. For my two cents I would evaluate why you want out though. If it is out of fear of basic, then that's a bad reason in my opinion. If however you have had a genuine change of heart, then it's better you get out now. Keep in mind that some people get in and like it. Whatever your decision stick with it.

When you first get there you will go to a reception battlion theyll go through your **** and take away anything thats contraband and then youll get put in a series, a series is simply a group that got there around the same time usually that day. While your in reception you'll get your first issue of gear uniforms boots etc. you'll take your entry PT test get a dental exam get your records straight get a hair cut get told all the stuff you can take to training and stuff like that. There will be drill sergeants there but not like the drills youll have in training. On the day you ship down range youll pack up all your stuff and the drills from the training company your going to will come pick you up. theres gonna be alot of yelling the comander and 1SG will talk to you, youll get smoked a bit get chow get your linen get told and showed the standard and put to bed. After that it depends on the training schedule your drills have set up youll take a pt test within the first week to see where your at. Youll also get your first 10 second phone call wthin that week. generall for the first few weeks (2-3) youll get smoked alot yelled at alot and treated like **** youll get smoked for everyone elses mistakes and get smoked for everything else. youll start learning about the M16 and do BRM at about week 3 or 4 and then start learning other basic soldier stuff. Just remember to stay motivated, dont talk back and dont f

You'll get an Entry Level Separation and go your merry way. All the dire consequences are just figments of peoples' imaginations. The .gov isn't going to spend a sh*tload of money on your sorry *ss so they can get some kind of stupid satisfaction from punishing you.
They'll let you go without much of a fuss, and then you can go smoke dope and get laid while the rest of us, who had the stones to follow though, go fight the war.
