If you rejoined the army and want to leave again then the rules depend on whether you re-enlisted when you were still on Reserve Service.  Reserve Service means that the army can still call you out to train or deploy after you have left.  It normally lasts six years after you have left the regular army BUT if you left the army in the first few months after joining using your Discharge as of Right then you are NOT put on Reserve Service at all.

Which applies to you?

I was still on Reserve Service when I re-enlisted

If you were still on Reserve when you rejoined the regular army then you would normally pick up your contract where you left off, which means that you can give 12 months' notice to leave.

I was not on Reserve Service when I re-enlisted

If you were not on Reserve when you re-enlisted then you would have been treated like a new recruit and given a new contract.  See 'I want to leave the army (I was 18 or over when I attested)' for the rules that apply.
