His wife (civilian) has currently started having alot of severe nightmares and wakes up in a panic, she does this a few times a week, and hes starting to lose sleep over the ordeal, and he was asking me if there was anyway he could get a discharge over this, hes thinking of having her see a few dotors, but if that doesn't help, and the problem persists could he be eligible for a discharge? Thanks...

Sounds like BS. Even if it isn't, the answer is NO.

pinoy's answer is why cadets should be treated like little children, seen but not heard. In certain circumstances a member of the military CAN recieve a Hardship Discharge due to a medical condition pertaining to a family member. Nightmares and panic attacks usually do not count though. Maybe the wife should be seeking some kind of professional help. Seems to be that the service member is here in the US or at least home with his family. What is the cause of the panic attacks? Or is it all a not so clever ruse to avoid serving his full committment? Only testing will tell.

These days, people make all KINDS of excuses for getting out of the military. It makes me sick. Perhaps he should take responsibility for the committment he made to this nation and find a way around the problem. He needs to get his wife psychological help if this is becoming such a problem. And if that doesn't solve the issue - move into a different bedroom. Why is it the military's problem that he can't sleep? What's he going to do next, apply for disability because he can't go to a 'regular' job either?

His wifes having a bad time.
how is this linked to his air force career??
Soldiers/Marines in Iraq who come back have MORE problems to worry about.
Come On NOW! She married a military guy, what can you expect then?
Hec No, Just for this alone, it won't be considered a discharge.
My advice, finish his obligatory service then get a HONORABLE discharge

Maybe but tell him to be careful if he is discharged early. Tell him to make sure that his RE-Code on his DD 214 is at worst a 3. He really would want a 1 but that might not be possible.

No. If the medical condition does not affect him directly then he is not eligible for a discharge under medical or otherwise.

If absolutely necessary a "Hardship" discharge may be in order. Have him check this out with his command.
