He was only there a few weeks maybe a month, and he either quit or was found to be defective.
My BIL was in the Army for 16, as an IT guy and the kid was supposed to do the same thing. He got out and went to work for a federal agency, like about 30% of all veterans do.
That is what my nephew had intended to happen. Not sure what happened to him. His story is that they kicked him out because of the curvature of his spine. Either way he is wearing Army garb and tells everyone he is a vet like a good little poser scumbag.
Culturally to millennials he probably is a vet, but I think the VA requires 6 months of active duty for actual veterans status.
