I figure with the possibility of the wars heating up, now would a good time to prepare lit/resources to demoralize military memebers and give advice on how to get out early.
Any one got any materials or links related to this?
Edit: found this which might be useful for legal avenues of quitting early
Honorably? Unless something major has changed recently, it's Medical Discharge or Suicidal Ideations. There's not a lot of options on getting out of your contract.
Cannabis. Its an "other than honerable" or dishonorable discharge where you lose all benefits, but it gets you out in a couple of months.
Its almost a bad thing that "dont ask, dont tell" is gone. Its 100% an improvement to equality, but it was an easier out that anyone could use with a "general" discharge, leaving you with all the benefits.
Anecdotal, but I was given a general discharge after failing a piss test and having a run in with a psych eval. G.I. Bill benefits were off the table, but nobody has ever given a shit about my dd214
My take on it is that people can change their minds or join a certain religion even after joining so they have to allow for people to do that. It does bar one from ever rejoining but I don't think that'd be a concern for this group.
I mean, I could see why they wouldn't. After all, that's the thing they really want you for. Can't have you signing up for a job and benefits just to bail when they when they need you to be expendable.
