Q: Can I quit delayed entry program for army?
I was going to join the army reserve after I graduated from high school. I changed my mind during the DEP. I want to quit but I had done all my tests and signed contracts. Can I quit right now? What should I do?
A: I assume you have not received any sort of bonus yet. They will generally push you and tell you that you could be in trouble, but in 21 years of service I have never seen anyone do anything. Once you get on that bus and show up, you are on the hook. Before you decide to not show up, I would recommend that you meet with an attorney that has a background in military law just to cover all of your bases. It may be worth the small investment to hire an attorney to contact the Recruiting Command to put them on notice and to protect you.
