It doesn't work that way, believe me.

Agree, doesn’t work that way. There is no MOS that works like that, any branch. You get family time when you get it. What expectation do you have for family time. You work until the mission is complete or your CoC releases you.

Danielle Pentecost The responses to date are accurate - regardless of branch, mission comes first. I grew up in a military family and can attest to that fact. Don't take the responses as a negative, since family is important. As long as your priority is family first, then you need to look at the corporate world for employment opportunities rather than the armed forces. Thank you for considering a chance to serve the country.

I would suggest something that is not active duty. Even the National Guard or Reserves are going to have you deploy every so many years.
I would suggest something IT that would allow you to Telework in the future. Another possibility is the Public Health Services commissioned corpsas a medical professional. They can be stationed anywhere and are still active duty.
