Get Out of Army

who asserts the U.S. Army went
back on its word is suing to get
out of the service.

mitment used to induce him to
enlist.
In his suit, Garluck, who is in
his 20s, says that he enlisted in
the Army under a regulation for
high school graduates for a spe
cific Army school for three years

school he asked for.
Although Garluck is nearing
termination of his military duty,
he says he is filing the suit as a
“matter of principle.”
