I USED the search button and couldn't find anything on this, so I was hoping to get an answer from one of you.
I am in a situation, unit is deploying soon, and don't think my unit will release me to go to the 19th SFG. I understand why and all, but is there anyway to get released aside from an IST? I am not trying to piss people off and have a good relationship with my unit currently. I am just looking to do bigger and better things in my carreer at this point in time. I am not trying to get out of a deployment, which probably comes to many minds, as I have a deployment under my belt already. SF has always been a dream of mine and I have just now pulled my head from my 4th point of contact to make it possible. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
