Take needs of the Army assignment or keep my daughter? What to choose.

PM me. It might be possible to work out a solution, but I need more info. It's a rare day that HRC says no to getting an 11B airborne qualified.
Have you thought about Ranger School? Ranger branch is a bit easier to work with.

Walk your daughter to school with a maroon beret soldier

You need to contact your branch manager at hrc and explain your situation. If you are an e4 non promotable then there is a chance hrc will give you airborne school to Fort bragg, but this is only given to lower enlisted. It all depends on your situation and how you explain yourself. The bottom line is that this judge does not run the army or assignments process and he is well outside of his lane telling you that you have to be stationed at Fort bragg. Compassionate will not work because they will only give you 12 months for that assignment and whatever the issue is will have to be corrected by that 12 month mark. Make sure you can get a family care plan at bragg before you.go because if you miss training or missions you can be chaptered for it. I hope this helps.

Look, I know you love this family but hey you're her family. ...go get your daughter man!

Maybe think of going with the National Guard. They won't move you out of state and there are AGR, and Federal Technician options.

This is a hard one. I actually had to make this choice many years ago. I wanted to take my daughter to an overseas assignment and I was going through a court battle at the time. The judge came back with since I was going out of the country it would be better for my daughter to stay with her mother. I couldn't give up my job, so I did the best thing I could I kept in touch with her mother and went to my assignment. This way I still had the money to take care of her, and I could see her from time to time when I was on leave.

Things work out. My daughter and I have a great relationship and she grew up knowing that I love her very much. She is now a RN, and has been one for many years. The decision to leave her was a tough one, but I knew she needed me to not only provide the physical love, but also the financial support.

Hopefully this helps. You make be gone, but your love for her will always be there. Once she is older you will have the chance to explain your decision to her. More importantly say involved in her life no matter what goes on between you and her mother. Do your part.

Go to the chaplain explain your situation take assignment and use a power of attorney to give custodianship to parents or a trusted family member. She will live there while you take care of her needs and support money until you come back from your assignment which is temporary. Keep the chain of command informed of all your actions if they have problem keep going until someone listens if they don't want to work with you then your states congressman with fix it for your next vote it worked for me.

The Army is a service that pays you a wage. Don't confuse the needs of the army with the needs of bettering yourself or family. Sometimes the two streams coincide. All the accomplishments and sacrifices you give in service are minimal compared to the impact you could have in your child's future.

SGM Matthew Quick may be able to provide some insight for you SPC (Join to see) .

The first thing is stay in... the economy and job market is bad and you'll need the job. Secondly, after you have exhausted all the proper channels, after you have tried it the right way and given the Army channels the appropriate time to address this. After you have run it up the chain. You have your congressman/woman.
