AR 635-200 outlines the criteria for pursuing a dependency or hardship discharge. Has there been anyone here who has helped a soldier pursue this option? Please elaborate on your experiences. (I am not here to argue whether or not this avenue should be taken; please refrain from negative commentary.)

I've been retired for a while, but back in the day, the local jag office would provide guidance, in addition to the Chaplin.

Different instruction for the Navy, same idea. Yes I have been involved in the process and it was successful. I don't want to get into too much detail but suffice to say we had to get a lot of supporting documentation in order for our Sailor to get their discharge. Letters from doctors, lawyers, accountants, that kind of thing.

We had a few Soldiers get out on family plan issues, but each case is individually looked at and approved or disapproved by the Commander. That being said, I don't know if they purposely failed to have a family plan in order to get out. Go talk to your chaplain...
