    Did you sign up for the Delayed Entry Program?

    If you have signed up for the DEP, many recruiters will tell you that you can’t get out of it. This is not true. There are a variety of reasons for DEP discharges, like enrolling in college, finding a long-term job, family hardship, etc. To quit the DEP, you will need to take steps to get discharged before your date to report for basic training. Your recruiter normally will not help you. Getting out of the DEP is simple: write a letter addressed to the Commander at the recruiting station where you signed up, requesting separation, explain why you are unable or unwilling to serve. If there is more than one reason, explain them all. Don’t say anything to the recruiter until after this letter is written and sent. Call the GI Rights Hotline 800-394-9544 for more information.
