A lot of bad stuff would happen. GySgt John Olson stated, you would just leave but without your DD214, without your benefits briefing, and possibly find yourself on the AWOL list which could end up downgrading your discharge resulting in even more bad stuff happening.
So the question is then, why would someone want to leave before their actual date?

Sgt Cameron Michael - Oh okay, then may I recommend you take a second and update your RallyPoint profile? Right now, you are showing as a Service Member and not a veteran.
You can review the information below on how to update your profile. After that, I would highly recommend you send us a copy of your DD214, with your SSN blacked out, to [login to see] so we can verify your account.

Sgt Cameron Michael - You are welcome. I'm one of the people that handle the verification process so of course when I saw that you haven't done that yet, I figured I would help you out. Of course, if you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

True, was just wondering, aside from losing everything, I could imagine some situations where a person could be that fed up with things, just thinking if you left everything the military owned AMD just left, aside from losing everything, if their would be any legal recourse shading you

Well like the biggest thing is good luck proving you were in the military. Good luck claiming any injuries/conditions without your medical records. Honestly speaking, I don't even know if it's possible, unless you've done it, then kudos to you.
When you get out, you don't have to take Terminal Leave. You can work all the way up until your EAS date. The question becomes why would you want to. But part of separating from the military is doing a separations package and if you haven't done one, I'm surprised your chain of command hasn't been hounding you over it.
You need your final Height/Weight measurements. Medical/Dental Records. Interview with the CO. Turn your CAC in. Check out of the barracks/base housing/stop BAH/BAS disbursements.
Then of course the biggest thing is the VA benefits. I don't know why anyone would turn their backs on that and that'll probably be harder to get without your separations package.

Sgt Cameron Michael - Well for starters, they'd probably still charge you for all the gear you left. You know what the saying is... Gear adrift is a gift. Unless you specifically turned it in and got the letter saying you turned in all your gear, they'd probably still hit you with the bill.
They'd probably come up with some AWOL or desertion in there as well. Because especially if this is your first enlistment, you might still have some reserve time left on your contract. So even if you were out, you probably weren't completely free. I still get a call once a year from the military making sure I'm staying out of trouble. I'm free... but I'm not. So if you still had some "time" left on your contract, they'd probably use that against you too.
This is the military after all, they'll dick you over at least once before you get out... even if it's as you get out. But I can understand what you are saying. I've got a couple people I know who put the military in their rear view the moment they got out. They still went through the motions of doing the package and everything, but the moment they were out, they were out.

I assume all questions here are hypothetical. But I answer in the most realistic approach possible. Because for every question asked, there are 10 others afraid to ask.
