What do you mean by "any time"? Do you mean any time the script prompts you for input, or just whenever you press q? If you mean every time the script asks you for input, you could write a function like:
Code:
QUIT () {
            if [ $firstChoice = "q" ] || [ $secondChoice = "q" ]; then
              exit 1
            fi
             }

Then just call the function right after very read call. like:
Code:
loop=1
while [ loop -eq "1" ]
   echo "Type F for first choice"
   read firstChoice
QUIT
   echo "Type S for second choice"
   read secondChoice
QUIT
   if [ "$firstChoice" = "F" ]; then
         echo "This is the first choice"
   elif [ "$secondChoice" = "S" ]; then
         echo "This is the second choice"
   else
         echo "no choice"
         loop=0
         exit 1   
   fi
