Kids can leave in their first year at service academies with no penalty after that there is some type of penalty like they have to pay back the $ on their years they got free school.  He may have reported to camp and realized it wasn't for him.  Which is ok with me, takes a dedication to yourself and country to serve.  It's an issue many kids have to fight/think about who get offered by academies.  

You can either repay the amount or if you're unable to, then you're forced to enlist as a Specialist (E4) until your debt is repayed. I believe after your second year, that's when you will owe time or money if you leave or get kicked out of the Academy.
