General912 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Ok so a few months ago My friend joined the army wanting to become airborne/ranger.. So anyways while in basic training he fractures his legs due to strees.. Several minor but still noticable fractures. Anyways he is back home now on medical leave and wants to get out. He was so excited going in.. Now he will do anything to get out. Since he has been back his attitude has change alot. It seems like he just wants to get into a fight where ever he goes. He says that the army screws with your mind hardcore and he cant take the physical and mental tourture anymore...He really wants out, he just dosent know how to do it.. He dosent want a disshonriable, even though that really dosent affect anything anymore (college, jobs etc...).. He just dosent know how to do it.. I dont know what o say to him either... Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
apostolics Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 well if his doctors say hes really ill then he can get out besides that good luck . he signed up and he cant back out of his word just cuz he feels differently now. its called a commitment and he has to get through it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodgiles Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 tell him to smoke a few joints and get a bad drug test. They will test him as soon as he comes back from leave. He'll get a general discharge for that. Its not as good as an honerable, but it sure beats a dishonerable discharge. Thats how a buddy of mine got out of the airforce.

cybergrunt69 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 The initial time in can be rough, you've just got to be tough to get through it - mentally and physically. Just remember two things: It's mind over matter - if you don't mind, it don't matter That which does not kill me makes me stronger Pain is weakness leaving the body --- is it too obvious I was in the Marines? If he just quits, he'll most likely be pissed at himself for years - stick it out, and make the best of it. If he feels that his medical issues are enough to get him out, but the army doesn't think so, then how about a different MOS? There are a huge number of other jobs that I'm sure he'll qualify for, and will be much nicer to his body than infantry is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodgiles Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Unless the army and airforce have different discharge policies, you need to get an updated policy. My buddy is out, I saw the papers, no dishonerable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUMaestro Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Unless the army and airforce have different discharge policies, you need to get an updated policy. My buddy is out, I saw the papers, no dishonerable. 558359[/snapback] haha the airforce and army have pretty different policies about everything. but i'm a LIB!, i hope the best for your friend, at least it was a choice not a requirement unline many countries, but hopefully when he comes back he will be eased in and may not have to be in the infranty. If it's THAT desperate, I say go with the take a couple of bong rips and fail the test. If it's worth it for him, then that's how it is.
