I’m helping someone write their resume and they have only 2 months in the Navy before they were discharged. Should I include this on the resume? Or if I do, is it going to lead someone to ask why were you only in the Navy for 2 months? They are looking for a tech support job, so it’s not military associated.

No since the short term signals being discharged for problems. That is not something worth mentioning.
Put anything down if he has limited experience. If he was discharged for a bad reason, then probably not. If he can explain it, then put it on.
It depends why you left. If it was under good terms then put it on there. Being in the military sets you apart from other candidates. Normally you don’t want to put short employments down on your resume, but I would say the military is an exception.
If you left because you quit, hated it, didn’t want to do it, etc, then don’t put it down though.
