Well, I mean, they can't exactly force you to stay as a Huntsman if you want to stop. That leads to all sorts of mental and emotional problems that can amount to a suicide run into a horde of Grimm when you're supposed to be protecting a village or something, ending in your death and the village being unportected so they all die too.

And failing too much would likely result in expulsion, though it'd have to be pretty terrible to get that far I think.

It's possible for Initiation to equal advanced placement in the military, since they do encouragemembers of their Academy to join the military upon graduating. It is a live test of strength, resourcefulness, intelligence and survivability that can be added to the notes of your military application form.
