Do they now ask you in Basic Training if this is not what you maybe want and to raise your hand? And then you can get out?

I think they do this. Then they smoke the crap out of whoever raises their hand

They do this in basic training sometimes. It's a trap though. The guys who raised their hands wished they hadn't.

Separation for lack of motivation or failure to adapt typically don’t happen until after the conclusion of week 2 of training.

With that said, I’ve had quite a few try to quit before then and unless there was a medical or psychological issue, they kept training.

If a trainee refuses to train, that’s different. Some try to talk them in to giving it a try but if they continued to refuse, they sat on the sidelines during training until their chapter for separation was completed.

It is of course, a volunteer army. If you want to quit in training, I have no interest in sending to support my brothers and sisters on the line so you can quit on them.

So if a trainee said those magic words to me, “I refuse to train”, I let them be. No longer my problem.

It isn’t quite raising the hand, but they weren’t penalized beyond knowing they quit and could not “unquit”. Usually watching their class graduate before they get to leave.
