I know the Navy... or the military in general... isn't for everybody. But at least most of them have the guts to stick it out for their enlistment.
I'm interpreting your statement to mean that you have been in the Navy less than six months... and not as one poster read, that you have been in the Navy, but have been AWOL for six months.
Because you have wasted the military's money and their time and training... probably "A" school as well, while there may be a way to get out, I'm sorry, but I hope you don't get it. I would hope for a BCD or at least "Other than Honorable" You need to learn to take responsibility for your decisions. You need to grow up.
In another post there's a guy training for BUD/s... that's SEAL school. The stuff he's doing in training is worse than you can possibly dream in your worst nightmares. He'll likely be spending about a month and a half rolling around in the sand and in saltwater about 55 degrees... often without food or sleep. He'll be miserable, exhausted, sore. his skin wil be raw. He'll see guy after guy ring the bell to get out. But he'll stay... just like Michael Murphy... who recently earned the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Yeah, I'll go along with the suggestion of kissing your CO, telling your CPO to shove it... and maybe where, and maybe goosing your XO. Sorry, kid... no sympathy here.

Like to other posters said--"Failure to Adapt" is what you're talking about as long as it's been less than six months. It's not a dishonorable discharge. When our son told us about it, he said they called it, "no harm, no foul." That being said, I'm wondering if you're asking for yourself or for someone else who's in the Navy. Failure to Adapt was explained to our son at least twice--once in Boot and once at A-school--as part of his training, not because he asked about it. Anyway, if you really are wanting out, talk to your Chaplain. They can help guide you through the process.
Now that you know what to do, think long and hard about it. Yes, you can get out at this point without the dreaded "dishonorable" discharge, but then you know what happens? You have to get up every morning for the rest of your life and look yourself in the eye knowing you quit. You took an oath--made a promise--and then you quit. Whatever you're going through right now that makes you want to get out, is it really that bad? Is it worse than the guilt you may carry with you from now on? And don't forget you can't change your mind on this one. You may be able to quit the Navy, but you can never quit the quit.

The way to get yourself out with the least hassle and without a BCD/Dishonorable Discharge is to go to your job and do it to the best of your abilities for the next 4 years and get out at the end of your contract. What a concept, eh?
Seriously, the Navy really isn't that hard....

Seriously, though, if you want out really bad, don't shoot your Lieutenant. That WILL get you out, in about 20 years.
Instead, go for something a little less felonious. Like smoking weed in front of the XO. When the Chief tells you something to do, tell him to cram it. Don't show up for watch. Get enough of those, and they'll put you out on a BCD just to get rid of you. You might spend a few weeks in the stockade first, but that's a small price to pay for eventual freedom.
There is no easy out, though, if that's what you're looking for. Time to grow up and play with the big boys.

Your status now is of a Deserter if you have left the navy without proper authority.You have to check with a lawyer reg jurisdiction of place and time , == it is best if you return to the navy , explain your circumstances and ask for proper discharge, nobody wants to keep a unwilling worker !!!

You can get out- It will be bad for you though but if you're going to wuss out and quit go ahead. There is no good discharge that you can get.
Just refuse to carry out any and all orders. Nobody is going to beat you, they might yell, but that's about it. You'll be out in no time.
If you're looking for something easy and nice, there's no such thing as, " I'm not playing no more" and going home to watch cartoons. This is for real sailor- and so are the consequences.

Don't listen to these ****** idiots must of them have no idea what your talking about. If you've been in for less then 6 months you can get out with a failure to adapt, it's like you were never in at all. Trust me if you don't like it get out while you can because it doesn't get any better just worse.

You can get out before six months. They call it failure to adapt. It is not a bad discharge its more of an admin seperation. You can talk to your chaplain if you are having some issues.

Six months away from mama too much on you? PLEASE get out as soon as you can. The military has wasted enough time and energy on you. Hope you can swing a DD so that it can tell you how ignorant you are for the rest of your life.
Remember to say, "Would you like fries with that burger?"

well, I've heard that if a family member calls and informs that they don't think you can handle it and they make a big deal about it .you can get out, but if you can't handle it why the hell would you join in the first place?????
