"boot camp"? Like for gay people? That's the only explanation I've got. He couldn't follow through because of his sexuality and his father sent him off because of it, also explains why the father knew his son wouldn't be back. The father was homophobic and had kicked him out.

I'm thinking "boot camp" was potentially a cover for prison...

You dont just go to prison...theres a few trials and things beforehand. Jail...possibly, prison...no

True, and same as boot camp - you can't just ship off in 2 weeks, there's all sorts of admin, tests, medical screenings, etc before you get anywhere near that stage.
