I dont think there is a way that he can get out fast. there are ways however that he can get help. Have him talk with his supervisor and his first sergeant (or whatever the Navy calls it) and they should be able to point him in the right direction

I would need to know what "several problems back at home" mean. If they are normal marital problems that come from him having to be deployed, they likely will not allow him to get out. That is part of the job. Your family enjoys the benefits of being a military dependant, and your husband serving, and being deployed, is the price for that.
I spent two years of my four in the Corps without seeing any of my family. That is just how it goes sometimes. As an Army brat, we were stationed in Italy for three years, and that meant not seeing any family the whole time as well.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. That is life in the military. He would do best to finish his time, then get out.

Currently the Navy has a program called " preform to serve " this applies to any and all first termers who have entered a dying rate. This program allows people to cross rate or get out. Also he could apply for a hardship discharge, or put in a TD HUMS package. I was a PN in the Navy before I got out e-mail me if you would like more specifics. Good luck

How much time does he have in? Is he close to separating? If the military is causing him hardship at home he can ask for a miscellaneous separation...(Hardship). He needs to look in the Navy Regulations for separations. Don't take anyone word for anything. Read the black and white and see for himself. Tell him not to do anything that will get him in trouble...That gives the military the upper hand. See what the regs say!

well, unfortunately,. you can't just get out. he signed up for 8 years total commitment, and if he hasn't completed those eight years, or hasn't finished up his contracted Active duty term, he's stuck. All he can do is opt not to re up when the time comes. His contract was for anywhere from 3-6 years Active duty, unless he went NCS.. in which case after 15 months(post A school) he goes directly to the reserves for 24 months, and he can't get out before then.
You may consider it a dumb answer, but it IS accurate. he signe don the dotted line, the Navy fulfileld their part of the bargain by training him, now he has to fulfill his end.

You don't say what trouble you are having, how long your husband has left to serve, his rank, or what navy he is in! However! there maybe a clause where he can get out on grounds of stress or distress! due to events in your lives that cause you depression! Check up on it! anyway.

RE4 general discharge could work. They use it for a few different things. In my case it was jail or "get out" and I chose to get out. But it can be done, though it may be tricky to get out.
Supposedly RE4 is not waiverable but if I recall a senator can over-ride it, just in case he may want to go in later.
I didn't read this all the way through but it might have something of use in it. http://boards.law.af.mil/NAVY/DRB/Docketed1997/N9701162.rtf
Oh, and the way I got out was I told 3 guys I was going to kill them. I meant that I was going to beat the crap out of them but I guess I should have chosen my words a little better.

The fastest way to get out of the Navy is to be overtly homosexual. Of course it could just as easily get him tossed in prison so that might not solve your problem. (No, I'm not kidding.) If he were a woman he could get out by getting knocked up, but that isn't really practical either.
In unusual cases you might be able to apply for a hardship redeployment; this is very difficult to get and you'll want an attorney who specializes in such appeals. Generally it will result in a loss of seniority and specialty pay but will not remove his obligation to serve; effectively he'd get moved to a desk job or Reserve status. Depending on your exact situation, it could cause as many problems as it solves.

Sorry, but SUCK IT UP! Many people have issues 'back at home' but they still Serve their Duty. Just because you can't handle being away from your Spouse for what? Six months...
*throws hands in air*....You should try being apart from your Spouse for 18 months ON THE GROUND.....

phych issues like depression- if he is "depressed" about things- that could result in you guys having to pay back enlistment or reenlistment bonus though.
the longer route would be to fail his PRTs
-its a shame that you can't get him pregnant
