Can someone quit the military?
There is no way to simply quit the military once you are on active duty. You are contractually, and perhaps morally, obligated to see your commitment through. However, you could be discharged from duty early if you are physically or psychologically unable to perform your duties.
Can the military kick you out after 18 years?

Can you get out of the military for anxiety?
In the military’s scheme of things, serious disorders such as major depression, anxiety or schizophrenia may be grounds for medical discharge or retirement, usually depending on their severity and amenability to treatment.
How do you tell if someone is in the military?
The walk of a soldier is a dead giveaway of their past training. A soldier walks with a sense of control and purpose, never wandering and always on the move. An added characteristic of a soldier’s walk is the speed of it. A current or former military person walks much faster than the average civilian.
Why do military personnel stand at ease all the time?
Most military personnel don’t realize they are doing it but when they are in the civilian world they stand ‘at ease’ all the time. It really is their way of standing in a relaxed way after so many months (or years) of being told to stand that way.
What should you do when you’re separated from the military?
Spend time talking to any recently separated veterans you know, and ask them what things they needed (hint: you’ll definitely need an up to date DD-214). Make sure those items are squared away. If your personnel shop can’t get them straightened out, get your chain of command involved.
What to do when you are no longer in the military?
When you are no longer in the military you can do whatever you want but you most likely went for some similar form of the military do. It’a not simple to break away from the years you spent doing something a certain way. One of the first things you learn to do is understand your surrounding and detect any anomalies.
