Normally a Compassionate Reassignment is ONLY approved in the case of EXTREME issues at home that should or will have a finite resolution period. In the case of a parental death and you are needed to help schedule services and resolve estate issues. The extreme heath issues regarding DIRECT family that can and will be resolved in a definitive period of time. I got a compassionate reassignment as a PFC when my mother died and I was the only adult capable of taking care of my minor siblings. That assignment expired NOT MORE than 2 years from issue. Compassionate reassignments are NOT generally approved because a soldier hasn&#39;t seen family in &quot;2 years&quot;. You should be eligible for a PCS leave in conjunction with your deployment but that is subject to your leave on the books and the needs of the unit. Talk with your First Sergeant. He will have answers for you that take into consideration your desires AND the Unit&#39;s requirements. Don&#39;t count on being able to get a Compassionate Reassignment based on loneliness. Good luck.

I had over 12 years in (almost 13) and was an E-6. In 3 years on that boat (submarine) I had done 3 WestPac, the last 2 were back to back. A 4 month special op. We just came in off that 2nd WestPac and I had been home for less than 30 days in the last year. I asked the detailer what my orders would be if I re-enlisted. He said there were a couple of boats that desperately needed me as Leading Petty Officer out on WestPac. So I quit. Not doing 3 WestPacs in a row.
