What must a recruit submit to officially state their intent to resign?

To officially state their intent to resign, a recruit must submit a signed memo stating their intent to resign. This formal document serves multiple important purposes: it provides a clear and unequivocal expression of the recruit's decision to leave the program, establishes a written record for both the recruit and the organization, and helps ensure that the process is conducted professionally and in accordance with organizational protocols.

A signed memo is an official communication that includes necessary details such as the recruit's name, the date, and a statement of intent. By requiring this formality, the organization helps maintain clear documentation that can be referenced in the future if needed. This standard also encourages personal accountability for the decision to resign, as it requires the recruit to formally acknowledge their choice in writing.

In contrast, informal notes, verbal resignations, or resignation forms from the training manual may lack the necessary formality and specificity required to be recognized as an official notice of resignation, which is why they are not the appropriate methods for conveying such an intent.
