Has anyone gotten a compassionate reassignment or a curtailment from South Korea due to endometriosis or something similar?

Me and my wife are trying to figure out if we’d be eligible for a curtailment, and report to our projected duty station sooner. She’s not getting good care at all, and due to that, we’re both staying miserable. Has anyone gotten a compassionate reassignment or a curtailment due to something similar?
We do have projections. No hard orders yet?

I have heard of rotating early due to medical problems.

You would need to reference the regulation, but the short answer is no because it’s not a condition that is resolvable in within 1-2 years.

If her care is not to par, you can change medical to Tricare Select

Talk to the Chaplains. They tend to have all the correct and latest gouge on this kind of stuff, and usually a letter from them helps any package you might need to put together. All the best.

Have you requested your wife be seen in Japan or Okinawa? Also, in the old days, the spouse will be sent CONUS and the military member would remain to complete the assignment.
