He&#39;ll get a general discharge and have to say &quot;I almost joined once&quot; basic training is only 10 weeks and ait is a little longer. Tell him to buck up and get the job done he signed up for.

Can he transfer?

NG often pays some tuition assistance- so that will be gone. It will keep him from rejoin a nservice w/o a waiver and those occasionally disappear completely. It could hurt him with some employers (particularly those with vets in HR or management). WTF can&#39;t he just suck it up and transfer to a unit closer to college?

Lot of people suggest call the recruiter. He is not wasting recuiter times, recruiters got paid to do his/her job. Send letter to command recuiter.
