I signed a navy contract and I'm going to ship this october. However now I'm having doubts about going. I've heard there are different ways that you can get out of the contract and not go. Does anyone know what these ways are, and are there any internet sources that you can lead me to?

Well, navy has alot of broken promises, as in, they give you a job but it actually isn't the job they said they'll give you or any other examples.they did not give me the job that they have told me before and also i want to get back to school and finish my BS.

LOL!!! This has got to be a big joke! You can be court martialed..and put in prison for skipping out. Once you are signed up....you are in it for the rest of the term. Seriously!! You cannot leave. You deserve no respect from me...a military man here. You gotta go son. Those are your orders. If you go AWOL...you will go to prison for a few years

For everyone that says you can't get out of the DEP or if you don't go, you will go to jail..... .They have no idea what they are talking about.
What do you want to do? Sign up with another branch of the Military?
If so, you will have to get a letter of Release from the Navy to get you out of the DEP. That would probably require an interview with the Navy Area Recruitment Commander or their associate.
If you just don't want to go...into any military service... Its no big deal. Just tell your recruiter that you changed your mind and you decided not to go. You will get a letter of Discharge in the mail. Your recruiter will not be very happy but I'm sure it won't be the first time it's happened to them.
They cannot force you although they might say they can.
It should not have any ill effects if you decide to go in later as long as you remain fully qualified in every other way. I've recruited a few former Deppers that came back and finally went in.
Trust me, as a former AF Recruiter for 10 years, it's happened more than once that someone decided not to go after Depping in. The hard ones are the Deppers that tell you on Ship Day that they don't want to go.
Do NOT tell them you are Gay or have Asthma or anything else to try to disqualify yourself. That would surely have an effect if you wanted to go back in.
Finally, I don't think the Navy Recruiter has lied to you. I think you had a "Selective Hearing" problem and only heard what you wanted to hear.
You should go. It's not as bad as you might be thinking. Chances are, when you return for your first Leave, you'll be thanking your recruiter.

it particularly is a possibility. yet there's a seize. As he has signed the contract, he's contained in the army meaning the army will subject him a DD-214. This little checklist provides your historic past and the clarification for separation from the army. the problem is this...it is going to checklist the clarification code as "end". It won't certainly say end, it particularly is going to be an alphanumeric code which particularly skill this. it is going to stick to him for something of his existence. you could forget working in any organization which does enterprise with the armed forces. you could possibly forget ever working for public place of work or working for the government. Kiss any armed forces clearances see you later too (which some civilian jobs require). Your buddy desires to think of roughly this. and complicated. If he nevertheless needs to end, discover a civilian attorney who makes a speciality of armed forces regulation and get his advice. in my opinion...purely bypass by with it. Its in basic terms 4 years energetic, 4 reserve (or despite he signed up for)and he will meet acquaintances and notice places and have studies he won't in any different case understand.

You are still in DEP I assume and if you have not being paid they don't have you yet. you can still get out of it the former recruiter was right they will be really really really mad and try to scare you but they can't do any thing to you yet. you can't get court marshaled your not a part of the military. If you want just say your about to have a kid and you need to be with your family plus you found a new job. whatever you feel you have to say If you don't want to do it now you really won't want to do it for 4 years.

In my opinion you're a quitter, not only are you quitting on the NAVY you are turning your back on your country. You can get out of the DEP. All you have to do is say I don't want to go anymore, they can't make you go. So go talk to your recruiter and tell him. Good luck Nancy

Just don't ship out. No problem with that. You are not in the military as of yet. All you have is a contract about training and such. Your recruiter won't be happy, but there is nothing he can do. HOWEVER............ if you decide to join any service at a later date the information that you did not ship will be at MEPS and you may have a problem...........
If you didn't get the job you wanted, why did you sign?
And to those who disagree...... Would you rather have someone defending you who wants to be there or someone who just wants to get out? I prefer the person who wants to serve. But that's just me............

Wow. I'm absoloutely shocked right now at people's reaction to your question. This is what is defending us, uncompassioinate jerks....
I understand what you are going through, because my boyfriend went through this same thing. Unfortunately, there's only a couple ways. I think if you tell them you're gay...lol. That's supposed to work for some reason. Also, I know something else, but I dont now how snappy people will get if i write this, so yah. Be careful though, it isnt easy at all, and you dont want to get in any trouble for this.

There never seems to be a shortage of questions that are quite similar to your own. e.g. "I joined the military, how do I get out of it?" My first thought is: Why did you join if you were having doubts? There were plenty of opportunities to back out before you signed the enlistment papers, if you had doubts why not step back and think things over before signing the enlistment papers?

If you signed a contract for a job they will probably give it to you...relax. You're getting cold feet. You'll be OK. It's the best thing you can do for yourself.

as long as you are in DEP you can get out of the contract. Just be aware that it will be twice as hard to get in later if you should change your mind.. especially if you want to go to OCS.
as for not getting the rating you wanted: why? did you not qualify for it someway? color blindness, line scores, Clearance issues? or was it just plain not available when you talked to the Classifier? they can't make a slot in A school appear out of thin air.

Reguardless of what the Recruiter tells you, YES YOU CAN, but you better have a damn good reason, "i dont want to" wont cut it.
Only if you are in DEP thats when you can
