I am joining the Air Force but I don't want to do the 4 year enlistment?

Question

Is there a way I can get an honorable or general discharge after a year?

Answer 1

Your pathetic and fail at life and give the air force a bad name people like you shouldn't even join in the d**n first place you selfish brat.

Answer 2

to answer the question: maybe if you got pregnant [situations vary]? my personal opinion: I don't think you should join period. military is for people who have a focused mentality and the will to stick it out, not someone who justs wants a five minute experience.

Answer 3

Why join for only a year? It would be a waste of time and money.

Answer 4

How about you just don't join!  Why waste MY (taxpayers) money so you can get some good training and take a slot from a hard working patriotic American who is willing to serve their country and honor their commitments?

Answer 5

nope.  your contract is your contract..  and it's for EIGHT years total.  if you are not willing to do what's required of you, don't bother enlisting.  

they are not going to waste time and money training you only to have you bail immediately.  

Answer 6

the only way i know of to get a honorable discharge after that short of a time is to demonstrate the propensity of being a homosexual.  for example post yourself on the web doing homosexual things.  then making sure your command sees it

Answer 7

ya get shot in the chest  

Answer 8

why join if you just want a discharge? If you can't hack it, don't do it all. People work hard in the services they join, you would just be making a joke of it.

Answer 9

There is, but to someone as selfish and as shallow as yourself, I'm not about to help you defraud the USAF and the American Taxpayer.

Answer 10

I'm not sure you realize that Basic is 8 weeks long and you have Tech School after that. Tech School is anywhere from 6 weeks to 11 months, depending on your career field.  The bulk of your first year is spent in training of one kind or another.

You need to be in for about a year before you start producing any meaningful work.  

Entry level separations are available to personnel who serve 6 months or less.  Either you have a medical issue, you enlisted fraudently, can't adapt to military life, etc.  You do not get the GI Bill or any other military benefits with an Entry Level Separation.   So there is no benefit to you to join for a year.

Hope this helps.

Answer 11

There are ways but it won't be easy and you shouldn't do it.  I joined the Air Force.  I am leaving for Boot camp Nov. 4th 2008.  And Entry Level Separation is bad basically you made it into the Air Force and then screwed up.  Just stick it out for four years or try to get an office job.  I have a few friends that got two year contracts with admin. jobs.   But if you don't want to stay with it then just don't do it, only do it if you absolutely want it.  There is no punishment for not joining, you aren't in the Air Force until after you graduate so just tell your recruiter you don't want to do it.  But, it is going to be a great experience and you will learn a lot so try and stick it out.

Answer 12

  Why settle for a general, go for a undesirable or a section eight, loser.

Answer 13

look girl entry level seperation will not pay you a thing. go for the 4 years so you can get 75% benfits i know it sounds hard bu tif i would of made it through basic i would of went for the 20

Answer 14

Don't waste my time and my tax dollars.  I'm sure you would be better off at MacDonald's.   Feel better now that you've pushed the buttons?
