I have come to find a soldier that is will ETS in about a year and half. But their unit is about to deploy next year. This will leave them with an ETS date during their deployment. Now the deployment is a 9 month deployment and their ETS date would fall in the eighth month.
Would the soldier still be required to deploy? Mainly would they get stop-lossed for that one month, get sent home early, or would they have an option of ETSing early? I haven't dealt with this in a long time. I was stop-lossed but that was a long time ago. With the Army down sizing would there be any other Options?

No more stop-loss...if qualified, the Soldier will be coded with an IMREPR code of '11' and give a few weeks to reenlist; if Soldier does not reenlist, the Soldier's ETS will be updated to within 90-180 days.

SGM Matthew Quick SGM Great Information, thank you for sharing. I was about to enter a diatribe about STOPLOSS, but times have changed since I retired. In my mind, he should be placed on the deployment manning document and involuntarily extended to maintain unit integrity. But that is another conversation.

SFC Dr. Joseph Finck, BS, MA, DSS, stop loss was removed because it wasn't right...involuntarily extending servicemembers (unless in time of war, not conflict/support) goes against what the Army is about.

SGM Matthew Quick SGM, Thank you. Makes sense. My services ended before stop loss, so I was headed to what I was familiar with.

My wife would hate me for saying this but I love deploying. There is no time I feel that my actions are more meaningful and my purpose more relevant to supporting our mission. I love the bond I have with those who serve with me. Deployment is special to me and I jump at every opportunity.

My wife just lets it be. It realizes I have to run off to do some military stuff every once and a while. For being a National Guard I don't spend a lot of time at home.

That would depend entirely on the Soldiers command. If they feel his MOS and presence is critical to the mission, they may have him extended to meet the deployment mission. If they feel he is not, then he would stay back in the Rear D and ETS without a care. But, does the Soldier want to deploy?

Well she is a Log Soldier. She is up in the air about. The issue is she is a dual military spouse. She is concerned if her husband will be able to take care of their child while she is deployed.
