Under certain circumstances, a person can leave the military without facing any legal repercussions. If a military member requests a discharge due to unsuitability, which is when the individual is found to lack the capacity or proper motivation to deploy or complete their service, then the individual can be released from active duty. If a military member has completed their minimum obligated service, they can also apply for a discharge of their own accord. In some cases, a military member may qualify for an administrative discharge, which could allow for them to depart the military before completing their service. Additionally, members of the military may also be eligible to leave the military through a medical or hardship discharge. In general, any discharge from the military must be approved by the relevant military branch. Ultimately, each case is evaluated on its own merits and the circumstances of each individual's departure will determine the best way to leave the military.
