Does anyone know of any experiences or resources available for people interested in exiting the ARNG despite some time remaining on an MDSSP obligation? I've regretted signing all that paperwork and taking the oath for years, but it's getting to the point that it's going to kill my marriage or possibly my spouse, bad enough that I've had to short notice no show at least two IDT weekends in the past year, even without a deployment on the horizon.
The paperwork I signed doesn't really go into detail, just says I may have to repay the percentage of the obligation that remains or to perform active duty for up to two years, at the discretion of the Secretary of the Army.
So other than sucking it up and watching my marriage burn and my life go up in smoke, what else can I do? I'd happily buy my way out. I would not happily do AD for two years - a fee worse than the initial charge.
Related, I still have a state tuition reimbursement program obligation. That paperwork says literally nothing about what happens down the line if you don't repay the obligation.
I'm hoping there are good resources other than chain of command / state surgeon / state benefits manager person. I don't know that any of them will go out of their way to help, but perhaps an anonymousekateer person on the internet has something helpful to say.
In before "suck it up, buttercup." Appreciate any help. Many beers or whatever you prefer in return.
