Have a soldier that’s tried to overcome her fear of jumping, however, she just can’t. She’s a great soldier and the command sees this. Will she be in trouble if she brings this up and just wants out of jump status or will she get moved? (Which she completely fine with)

A Soldier must serve three years on jump status. If they voluntarily terminate their jump status prior to that they can be subject to UCMJ. If they terminate prior to three years, they lose their wings, after three years, they keep the wings and only lose the "P" identifier.

Whether your command will move or prosecute your Soldier is at the discretion and policy of your command teams all the way up to your Division.

Just digging down deep and some intestinal fortitude. She’s jumped an additional 3 times at the unit. So she steps up to the plate, but I believe it’s effecting her mental health and now she sees that Airborne was a mistake, because it’s a fear she cannot overcome, as she originally thought.

SFC Boyd is all over it. Also keep in mind that Commands make decisions based on Policy, Soldier performance can weigh in where appropriate. The commands discretion also looks at presidency in an organization.

An additional step they may be able to take would be a mental eval based on the fear expressed. That too has a double edge.
