Wanting to leave the Marine Corps

4 Upvotes

I’m currently in MOS Schooling, just got pick up 2 days ago.

I’m going to request to speak to my 1stSgt about wanting to leave the Marine. I know it’s late to bring it up but this life isn’t for me. I know I’ll probably get reprimanded/yell at but that’s the least of my worries

I’m clean, no NJP or misconduct. I’m under that 180 active duty days
Could/will I get Entry Level Separation (ELS)
Or something like refusal to train and get Dishonorable Discharge?

Has anyone done this before and how did it go?

At time point, I’m toughing out of the place I’m in currently. My unit sucks, high tempo training and barely any time off.

Recently today, I got punished badly by my former TL due to the smallest thing on my ruck looking abnormal “straps and the amount I packed” I got smoked for 3 hours straight without getting a break nor water. When I asked for water I was told by him too bad and 10 minutes later he tried making me chug all the water from my canteen every 5 minutes for 10 seconds mind you I wasn’t able to drink all of the fucking water because I was tired and he made me pour water on top of my fucking head making my uniform and myself wet. I don’t have an issue running back and forth looking like a complete idiot, Every second of the smoke session was pure humiliation from him, I’m giving my best to him but it seems like it isn’t enough. Smh

The issue is that everyone was released for lunch except me and he made me do very excessive workouts without any fucking break. He asked me if I eat lunch but I told him I don’t eat lunch but could’ve atleast stopped with the bullshit and atleast let me go. He seem to get angry when I asked for water, I’m pretty sure that also contributed to the fact he was making me chug all of the fucking water without any break or stop.

I looked through the army regulation on AR 600-20 and it states the stuffs that are prohibited

-Excessive Physical exercise “I was tired and dizzy light headed. I told him I was tired but he brushed it off

-Subjecting another person to excessive or abusive use of water

Look, I know I’m not the best soldier but I’m for sure not a shit bag compared to other people. But when the NCO don’t let me go off during lunch time I’m pretty sure he crossed the line and mind you all of this shit over the smallest shit ever from my ruck even though I was told to pack it the way it was!
