Correct, the first six months you have the option of using 'failure to adapt' as a means of reasonable and honorable discharge.
It is rarely announced or explained to new recruits, drops outs would be more frequent.

Kill the fucker
Bergdahl was a deserter during war time. Why should Obama give a shit about the punk ass bitch?
No matter what Obama did the Republicans would blame him. Therefore the proper thing to do was Ignore the bitch and let him enjoy his desertion

If you drop out during boot camp. You are free to enlist with another service. Thought it was kind of strange to have guys who were in the air force and army for less than 2 months being in Navy boot camp

Yup. It is a quick switch because you have already been through medical inspections and have all the tests and results of those tests. They could have you sign and put you on a plane to basic in almost no time.
Take another oath, wait for a bus, get on a plane. Welcome to another branch of military.

OH FUCKIN' snap I called it.
Seriously though, it wasn't hard to figure that out. Working knowledge of the military is the only reason I called it.

And BOOM!!!!!!
Returning from his time in the Coast Guard, Bergdahl told friends he had faked a psychological disorder to get out, according to the Post.

If I was an 18 year old kid who pussied out I would definitely lie to lessen the embarrassment from my social circle. I would have chosen a different excuse though, this raises questions about that being a possibility.
Bergdahl’s friend said she shared the journal and other correspondence with the newspaper because she had become concerned that the soldier was being falsely portrayed as a calculating deserter.

The journal allegedly shows a mental breakdown before he was captured.

Could be. Though I doubt someone with enough cunning to do that would freely walk into the arms of an enemy that outright hates him.Maybe the journal was all part of his calculating plan.
