<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You signed a contract with the government. You should see your obligation through to completion. If you assignment to Fort Drum is truly a hardship on your family you can request reassignment but you would have to prove the hardship.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Contact your career counselor. I believe what you're looking for is to be discharged/IRR for cogent reasons.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Education drop 90 days<br />Job drop 180 days<br />Start up don't want to 're enlist 90 days <br /><br />Go to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.armyreenlistment.com/drawdown-voluntary-separation.html">http://www.armyreenlistment.com/drawdown-voluntary-separation.html</a><br /><br />P.s. If anyone give you crap about it.They don't know the answer and don't want to feel silly. It's a defense mechanism. A lot of people try to give other craps because they weren't given that option or mad at themselves for taking the time to research. I understand what you are going through. I am right now going to Syracuse University for IT certifications (Free) and started this week at campbel the Mechatronics program so I will leave with 5 certifications. The army had you for what it needed now it's time to take care of you and your family forget what people think they don't pay your bills. Army has these programs to reduce force for a reason done people are just to proud to use them. (Stuck in the past most of the time sleep with their ribbon rack lol) good luck!!!
