he will be discharged completely and not allowed to re enlist in the future( in any branch)
he will be sent home on convalescent leave for 6 weeks then return to finish out Basic training when he is cleared to return
he will stay put on LIMDU and be given busy work to do until such time as he can join another group of recruits at t the stage he was at before being injured.
Most likely an entry level discharge, which is being sent home. The thing about knees is they don't really heal fully. Once something severe like that happens to a knee it will always be weaker than it was before, and they probably won't want to wait months for that to heal only to have him not be able to finish basic training due to another knee injury.
If they like him it's possible they will let him try again later, but just sending him home seems more likely.
He will have arthritis in his knee in ten years. His military career will come to an end then, and he will not be trained in any other skill and is looking at long-term unemployed with conservative governments blaming him for everything that goes wrong when conservative politics ruin the economy: Like they usually do! His best option now is to leave the military and get himself a trade learned.

the most common one is the third one.

Depends. I watched a guy split his knee as he slid into a corner of a hallway so he would be on time for watch. He got discharged.
Probably, and invited to come back *if* it heals to the point he can.
they'll patch him up and get him back to his unit.
