Can my friend just walk away from the army?

It depends on the circumstances. In most cases, your friend will need to apply for a medical or administrative discharge in order to leave the army. The application process may take several months, and there are many paperwork and documentation requirements that must be met. In some cases, it may be necessary to provide medical proof of a physical or mental issue that prevents the person from soldiering, while in other cases the individual may need to provide documentation of extenuating circumstances that justify being allowed to terminate his or her contractual commitment early. Each case will vary and the person must take the necessary steps in order to pursue an exit from the army.
