Its a silly leaving storyline because last year Nate had a storyline of him suffering PTSD (which was a great storyline by the way). Why would he have gone back to the Army knowing he could get PTSD again? It makes no sense.
I can`t help but wonder if the Producer is punishing Meyne with a ridiculous storyline because they are mad about his decision to leave. Especially since they gave him time off to do a play last year.
