    There are many ways you can get out of the military even after you are in BMT (Basic Military Training). You could say you can not adapt the miltary lifestyle, that is harder than it sounds though. But when you first get to BMT you have to fill out this Pysch exam, they ask you questions like do you think about killing yourself...stuff like that. All you have to do is lie on that exam/paper and the medical people will think your crazy and kick you out. It would probably take 3 or 4 months before your back home, but i know for a fact this method works. Four people in my flight were released from the BMT just days after they got there because they sad they were depressed.
    Another way to get out is just to go AWOL (Absent Without Leave). This is not the smartest way to go. You'll most likely be found, and when your found you will have to go to a Military Court Martial and you will eventually be found guilty and you'll get a dishonorable discharge. You could spend up 5 years in Fort Levanworth. If you get a dishonorable discharge its hard to get a job at McDonald's or Walmart, so don't go this route.
    OR...You could fake a heart attack. Some kid tried this when i went through. The medical people found out he faked it and he got in serious trouble but he was eventually seperated from the military

    • Or, like my friend's kid did, you could go on sick call and tell them you get aroused in the showers and think that you might be homosexual. That worked for him.

    • I can tell you that as of 1994 that didn't work too well, at least not in the Navy. How do I know? My first boat had a Personnelman (PN) that was gayer than gay and it was no secret.
