One person said it was possible during Basic Training and during AIT, everyone else said it was very hard to get out. Is there a point during AIT that you take an oath, and after that you are in?

Thanks, everyone. I was not actually asking for ME... so don't worry! The truth is, my nephew is trying to get OUT and we all don't want him to! He seems to think he can still get out even though he is now at AIT (as of last Sat.)

There is a loophole that during a certain number of days (180 maybe) you can request release from contract. It may only be before he takes the oath during bootcamp graduation. He'll have to go talk to the Judge Advocate General (JAG) office about it. I would also suggest asking him to go see his Chaplain. There is a troop classification called "Conciencious Objector" that could get him out. It basically means that he is unwilling to take another persons life regardless if his life was in danger. It's a huge pain in the assterisk but it may still be a viable option.
We don't want chicken s#it cowards or unreliable bastardos on the battlefield with us.

They have to serve once being sworn in which comes before AIT- they can get out after the time they signed up for though- which was probably 5 years.

Actually during AIT I've seen it done. Getting chapter through a Unable to Adapt or some such. However afterward your looking at something that isn't worth the hassle.

A couple ways, one would out would be to either become a disciplinary problem and get kicked out. Which will end any chance of a government job or a job that requires background checks.
The other is to get fat and get kicked out for being overweight. It takes a long time and you have to be ready to do a lot of additional forced PT.
The best way is to serve out your contract and leave honorable.

After the soldier in question is sworn in, they are pretty much in. It's an 8 year contract, whatever time active with the remainder inactive. The only other ways out I know are medical and Leavenworth( jail).

You have to serve. You have no choice or you could be arrested since it's illegal in the U.S. The only way you can get out if through a medical leave or if you have some sort of mental illness.

Once you sign on that bottom line you're for the duration you signed for. There's no other way out unless you get a medical discharge or some such.

it is EXTREMELY difficult to get out once you step foot at Basic training the first day. once they have started spending money and time on you at AIT, it is even harder.
you signed a contract, you owe them the minimum commitment.

its possible, but its a long process and you have to be really crazy or something drastic has to happen. I've seen it done, but it took a long time and a lot of effort. I'm happy serving my 8 year Reserve contract. Its not that bad. a pain more than anything else, but oh well. I can suck it up and deal with it.
