What are some of things that you've seen people use to scam out of deployment?

I've seen Soldier's get pregnant, go to a mental health facility a month before movement, injuries brought up that was never seen before, Soldiers saying they were not going to reenlist, when their ETS date was within 5 months during the deployment( these Soldiers tried to play a slick one and reenlist while we were deployed, but the CO and I denied their reenlistment)......there have been many more.

I do want to state that even though there are those Soldiers who try to get out of their obligations, there are those that will try to cover up an injury, or do whatever it takes to be able to deploy. These Soldiers I support and is why I love being a SNCO.

Pregnancy (planned and purposefully not accidentally), injury (minor and imagined), misconduct (hot on urinalysis), and miss movement (purposefully then AWOL; some return while others deserted) are a few. Fortunately, the vast majority of Soldiers do their duty properly before, during, and after a deployment. The above were, thankfully, only a small minority. In smaller units, however, even only a few ducking deployment creates a significant burden upon those who deploy who have to pick up the slack for the positions that are unfilled.

A broken finger that led to surgery...didn't bother the NCO till a month BEFORE our movement date, then it was an issue. He was moved to another company inside the BN, and deployed 4 months later to a worse place than my company was at.

I've seen more people suck up injuries and problems so they CAN deploy or stay deployed, then those that dodge a deployment.
