The point it, an enlisted man can't make the same statement as an
officer. An officer can resign his commission at any time and leave
the service. Unless he has an obligation for the Academy or similar.

An enlisted man saying he's going to resign makes no point, since he
can't leave until his enlistment is over. It's not much of a
statement if he still has 2 years or so to serve before he can leave.

You are missing the point (purposely, I suspect). The guy is leaving
the military at first opportunity, as are a number of the military of
all ranks, because of BO.

So what. A lot of guys leave the military for whatever the reason. A
Staff Sergeant saying he's going to resign, is ludicrous. He CAN"T
resign. He's like a prisoner doing 10 years saying at 9 years and 11
months and 29 days saying, "I'm breaking out of here tomorrow!" BFD.
They will release him when his time is up.
