once you have sign a military contract to join the service is it possible to buy out of that contract?

Question

like if you were to win the lottery or something like that while your in or before you go?

Answer 1

you can get out of it, if you didnt take the oath, you do this at the meps station, you tell them there you have changed your mind before the oath, once you raise the right hand your in, thats all they need to know if you dont dispute this before your in, then you have to go in and do your best t fail basic training, ive seen them get kicked here, fail to do the physical fittness test to just being un disiplined, you will catch alot of crap this way but this is another way out, but if you pass basic then you have to deal with dishon discharge so do it before you get this far, cause above stays on your record

Answer 2

Once you sign the contract and take the OATH, you are hooked. Back in the Civil War a person could have someone else take his place in the military, and there was a time if I am not mistaken when it was possible to buy your way out of the military. But that was long long ago. Also there are some countries that, even today, you can buy yourself out of the military. (But those are undeveloped countries). But not in the U.S. of A.

Answer 3

Yes, you can get out via a "Convenience of the Government" separation if you were to win the lottery or inherit a large sum of money. It deals with morale issues and what not but it has to be requested by the service member and approved by the military. You have to buy out the remainder of your contract as well.

Answer 4

i understand for specific that no federal employer will do a purchase out. the defense force offered and paid for you and you presently have adventure so as that they won't assist you to pass. All you're able to do now could be take a seat tight and realixe that fufilling the words will help you interior the call technique later. i anticipate you have researched standards for turning out to be a US Marshal and understand which you will desire to be a procedures past to the %. to get employed.

Answer 5

You don't technically "buy it out" what happens is, like you said, if you win the lottery or come into a big inheritance you are worth more than the govt. can cover in terms of life insurance. I.E. You come into an amount of money that equals more than your SGLI, life insurance. They can no longer cover you so you get out. I never once seen this happen, so I can't say wether it's true or not.

Answer 6

not necessarily. your command would have to agree that separating you is for the good of the Service. you would be required to pay back the militray for any training and bonuses you received. it is NOT easy to do, and no CO is required to let you go if they feel that you being rich will not have a negative impact on Operational readiness.

Answer 7

hell no
back before one of the wars about i believe ww1 it was legal
but soon after it was banned and if youve signed you must leave or go awol in that case you have to go to canada or mexico and both countries will deport you and you will be tried in a military court of law for going AWOL. and you cant take a plane b/c your flagged already

Answer 8

i dont think you can buy your way out...
but if you were to win the lottery and have more than your C.O I think you can be put out. again I am not sure of this I have just heard that it's possible

Answer 9

You can get out on a "change of lifestyle". I know this for SURE. My friend came into a big inheritance and got out on this.

Answer 10

What are you another liberal that wants it both ways?? Your word is supposed to mean something and taking back what you say is meant to be the habit of liberals not real people.
