It takes a lot once you are there to get out even within those 180 days. You can't just walk up to your Co and say "I made a mistake I want out" my husband (when he was much younger) had joined and decided about 30 days in that he had made a terrible mistake, he was 19, and tried to talk to his Co about it. He refused to let him chapter out. My husband had to refuse to train and deal with the mental abuse from the other guys in the platoon as well as the drill sergeants afterwards in order for his Co to approve of his chapter. It took them 4 months to sign his paperwork and send him home. Thing was he never should have passed meps because of a medical disorder. His recruiter was hurting for numbers and a huge asshole (no offense) and told him not to bring up his back condition to anyone. We were dating at the time he enlisted and I had called his recruiter concerned about some issues and he told me "I'm with my family and frankly I don't care what happens to that boy now that he's sworn in" and hung up on me. Shortly after he enlisted that army recruitment station closed down. I'm not sure what happened as we never went back there after he came home.

Needless to say that was a horrible experience for my husband.
