He has a girlfriend that has severe depression that she takes medicine for. But he says that even with the medicine, if he's not there at least once a day, she will have excruciating migraines. I don't agree with him deciding to leave because of this. But I decided to watch out for my battle buddy and do some research and ask some questions anyways.

If he wants out there are established channels he can pursue to that end. He may be discharged for compassionate reasons. Won't know unless he tries.

I do not think I would mention the migraines unless she sees him at least once per day. Makes him sound like a comfort animal...

The army will almost never lift a finger for a girlfriend. Him being there may prevent migraines but there is a larger issue she needs to get fixed herself. Also rarely is leaving the military a good idea. Its a stable check and stable career, if they ever break up he will regret leaving because of her. Now if they ever get married it could be an entirely different conversation.
