Should and how can one get a waiver for a post-deployment stabilization period?

2016-01-29T21:20:22-05:00

I am seeking advice on whether or not I should, and if I should how I can get a post-deployment stabilization period waived. I want to PCS as soon as possible upon returning home to make sure I have sufficient time remaining in my contract, and need to know if I would need to waive that time, or if it is advisable.

SSG Private RallyPoint Member, if I had the choice, I would PCS and get a fresh start.

There was a MILPER message that 90 days was minimum reintegration period. Waiver able by a brigade level commander. If you are trying to wedge in an assignment, recommend an office call with the BN CSM to help you work a waiver.

It requires a 4187.

Block 1 (THRU) Your Brigade Commander.
Block 2 (TO) Your branch (Include their office symbol here)
Block 3 (FROM) Your company commander

Block 8 (Select Other) PCS (This is assuming you already have an assignment with a report date that falls within the 90 day stabilization period)
SECTION IV - REMARKS
1. Service Member requests waiver of 90-day stabilization in order to PCS with a report date of DDMMMYY
2. Service Member meets height and weight standards IAW AR 600-9 and is not on a temporary physical profile which would prevent him from taking and passing a record Army Physical Fitness Test.
3. Contact information is: email and phone

In addition to this, if you already have a report date, your unit can opt to send you home at 90 days from that report date which would negate the need for this 4187. If you DO NOT have an assignment/report date, you can't do this stabilization waiver.
