Can anyone help me with trying to PCS from fort Riley? My situation is my second child is on the way and my wife is having a difficult pregnancy. I am trying to PCS to fort Hood in order to be closer to family so she will have help with the kids and during pregnancy. I have been on station 25 months now and apparently according to HRC for 68W we have to be on station for 36 months. This seems like a lie to me. I am not eligible to reenlist for another 11 months to PCS and to my knowledge I do not qualify for a compassionate reassignment due to it not being a life or death situation? My problem is if I go to the field for a month or to NTC coming up my wife will not be able to care for my son currently or herself alone due to extreme vertigo, nausea and vomiting. Shes always been to the hospital once for fluids. Is there anything I can do to get to fort hood? I'm not asking the world here... we all know hood is not prime real estate. Help?

Your first option is to work it with your CoC. Become (you should already be) knowledgeable with your unit’ training schedule all the way thru post-partum. Develop a few courses of action before presenting them to your 1SG/CO. If you let them do it for you my suggestion will be to not forget your face cammo. Here is the thing, they understand and if you go to them with both medical facts and something for them to work with your odds will exponentially increase.

One, look toward Familyvreadiness group, there are always great Spouses willing to lend a hand. Two, if she has Virtigo and othe issues ask the doctor for a letter recommending you stay on Rear D to assist with your spouse. Three, plan to send your spouse to the Family prior to deployment and return shortly after. PCS will not happen. Speak to your COC providing your thoughts to a resolution and see what they come up with, it may surprise you. Thank you for your service.
