Illegal, no. Unrecommended, yes. Usually it takes some form of illegal activity to "quit" the Army.
For enlisted service members, there has been a program called the Trainee Discharge Program and the Marginal Performer or Expeditious Discharge Program have made it possible for commanders to offer a semi-voluntary out. This form of discharge is either dishonorable or less than honorable, but may under certain conditions be upgraded after an expiration of years.
Officers in the Army may resign their commission and be separated from the Army after their initial term of service (six years) has expired. It is not an easy process and the tendency is to strongly encourage retention.
The illegal form of "quitting" is called AWOL (Absent Without Leave) or desertion. Those who are AWOL are essentially what the civilian world views as "no call, no show." Those who are AWOL will be turned over to AWOL Apprehension Services, an office of CID (Criminal Investigations Division), located, and returned to the nearest military installation or his duty station for prosecution. Those who are AWOL (as described under Article 86) may receive nonjudicial punishment or courts marshal, which can include loss of pay, restriction from priviledges, extra duty, and imprisonment in the stockade or retraining. Those who are guilty of desertion will be prosecuted under Article 85, and are typically prosecuted under courts marshal. While Desertion in the Face of the Enemy carries with it the potential of summary execution, this form of punishment has not been used since WW2 (Private Eddie Slovik) and the US Civil War before that. Typically those found guilty of desertion are demoted in pay grade E1, removed from service, and imprisoned (usually at Leavenworth).

It is highly unlikely that the U.S. Army will take someone who quit while in boot camp.
