Sounds like "he" is in the Delayed Enlistment Program, and if that's the case, then YES, he can get out WITHOUT any kind of negative action towards him. You sign up for the Delayed Enlistment Program to secure your place in the Air Force and, in some cases, your placement in the job you want; at the time you sign up, you take an oath and are placed into the Inactive Reserves. The Inactive Reserves are made up of people who are NOT ready to serve for one reason or another, and can be dismissed from the IR with the simple stroke of a pen.
You are not committed to go to basic training until, on the day you're scheduled to go, you stand before the American flag and a commissioned officer and take the Oath of Enlistment into the Regular Air Force. Up until that point, all you have to do to get out of going is to simply call your recruiter on the phone and tell him you've changed your mind.
And there's NOTHING he can do about it.

Why wouldanyonewant to leave the AIR FORCE.
Thats the best job in the military.
Deployments are what 3, or 4 months long, and the air froce is very sensitive to family and has great schedule living accomodations and are 100% familyoriented.
If I was thinking about the best branch of military to join for a family, instead of wanting to get into the fight, I would have choosen the air force.
FIrst-- is it you, or is it him that wants out?
Are you scared of what might happen to him?
If you or he is scared, fear not, he wont really be in harms way as Air force is one of the safest soldiers of them all.
BUT, since he hasnt left, there is a possibility of cancelling your contract.
He still hasnt joined -- techinically.
Hes on a delayed entry program, and my nephew - the little scammer - was able to get ouf of his contract without ever having to go off to basic.
It has somethign to do with a finalized agreement bfore you depart from the MEPS office.
Its a well kept secret that he used.
But even in through Basic training -- you dont get a DIShonourabledischarge unless you do somethign malicious
Otherwise its a general discharge -- labelled FAILURE TO ADAPT.
You have until 6 months after you arrive at your duty station to get one.
And since he hasnt shipped out, its not even a DISHONOURABLE DISCHARGE consideration.
Its a changed my mind refuse to go, they wont make you go, but they will try to pressure you into going.
Ive known my nephew to get out of this, and Ive also known a few soldiers who in basic training and while just arriving to their duty station that I was at, that used this Failure to Adapt clause or whatever, to get out of service.
SOme people are and somepeople arent cut out for military life.
It sounds good, and loks good on T.V., but when the bullets atart flying and peoplestart dying, the last thing you want is someone who doesnt believe in the cause or doesnt have the stomach for it.
So get him out before he goes...I know hes in the air force, which is THE BEST SERICE IN THE MILITARY -- easiest.
So you weigh it out.
P.S. If youre really serious -- Look in the telephone yellow pages.
Under lawyers.. Military lawyers.
Talk to them. Get a free consultation or maybe they will disclose just what you need to do.
But its possible.
Dont listen to these people here who give you their opinions, and who havent joined the military yet talked like they are authorities on the topic.
Its NOT a DISHONOURABLE DISCHARGE -- that I know for fact.
These are the same peopl that dont know anythign about politics but like to run their mouth like they do

Nope. no longer desirous to sound recommend right here, yet, you signed a EPR, without taking note of the information of what it suggested or the rankings. Your lack of interest to element, in that's self, is fairly of a hallmark that you're deserving of a low score. How ever, if when you signed, they replaced the score, it truly is an finished diverse case. like you study it, replaced into getting an over all 5, with very few savings, so that you signed it. Then, you discover out later that it replaced into replaced to an over all 4, without notifying you, and making use of your previous signature instead of having you resign, then you definately can wrestle it. basically for them to attempt this can require them to falsify a authorities record, that's a criminal offense on their section.

If you haven’t left to basic you can still get out of your contract. It isn’t official until you are in the military. In fact, even when you’re in Boot camp, they can still let you leave if you fail to adapt. That's what it’s actually called when they send you home. They stamp you with a "failure to adapt" and its not considered any type of normal discharge the military gives out i.e. Honorable, Dishonorable, General etc...
And if he changes his mind again, he can actually go back in the military (a different branch).
WARNING: They will make you pay (not money but other ways), if you try to get out by “failure to adapt”.

Has he been sworn in? Yes he signed on the line, but what did he sign? I was always told that you're not in until they swear you in right before you leave. I'd get with an attorney and check it out if you're serious about it.

Everyone is nervous about boot camp. You're away from home and some ****** you don't know is screaming at you at the top of his lungs. But give it a chance. He might like it. Besides, your friend has a contract with Uncle Sam. And Uncle Sam is going to hold him to it. The discipline will do your friend some good!

If he hasn't sworn the oath, he's not in. Wants out? Passing up the opportunity of a lifetime.

no sorry, I dont blame him, but if he signed a contract entering, there is no going out intil his commitment is up unless he is willing to be dishonorably discharged.
