ok I am no blaming the Army for a divorce if it happens. Other thing she did not discuess this issue with me before she even thought about it. Her friend sid she should join and that is what happened and now she has relized that she was better off the way things were. I know all about the benifets and pay and this is nothing to the way that we had it. We had eveything and now we are actually losing alot since she has been gone. I love my wife and I have never cheated or even think or plan on it I want this tio work and need help to get her home that is all. I dont blame the army or her (?) nor myself, I am going into the reserves and this is something that we have talked about before she even did this.

I'm sorry to hear your wife isn't happy with her career choice - it sounds like maybe she should have done a lot more research prior to making such a big commitment?
Unfortunately, I'm not aware of anything she can do at this point to go from active duty into the reserve that would not result in her getting discharged from the military. There are various discharges, such as failure to adapt, etc. - however, they can impact her further job choices down the line. Many government jobs and other jobs as well require that people have been honorably discharged, or gotten an administrative discharge under honorable conditions. Getting another discharge can quite negatively impact her chances to get hired elsewhere later on.
If she wants to continue being in the military, but in the Reserve, she will most likely need to fulfill her current service obligation until she ETSes. At that point, she can walk down to a recruiter and ask to put in paperwork to go into the Reserve.
She may want to address her issues and concerns with a career counselor and see whether there is anything she can do at this point to maybe change her MOS if it's the MOS that she doesn't like, or whether she has any other options.
On a side note, getting pregnant will not get you kicked out of the military anymore these days, particularly since she is married. Many military women go through pregnancy during their military career.
Also, if you're "on the verge of a divorce", I think it will make little difference whether your wife stays active duty or not. People have problems whether one family member is gone away for training or not. If you can be supportive and make things work, do it. If you can't, get a divorce.

The only way your wife can go from the active forces to the reserve is to do her enlistment as she agreed to when she signed the contract. Once her active duty commitment has been satisfied, she will still have her reserve commitment to honor. But right now, there is no way to convert her active duty commitment to a reserve commitment.
As for wanting to come home now because she doesn't like it, I hate to sound unreasonalbe, but maybe she - and you - should have thought about this before she enlisted. She signed the papers, she's in for the time she agreed to, and that's that. Aside from getting pregnant, there is no way that she'll be able to get out early.

most of the jobs are the equivalent from branch of provider to branch of provider. mutually as the army, military Air rigidity and Marines fall below the dept of protection, the Coast look after falls below the dept of commerce. Your probabilities of being deployed to a conflict zone are practicable with the Coasties whether extra remoted assignments in basic terms like the Aleutian Islands are lots extra in all threat. by using fact the % out implies COAST look after...guarding the coast by using far off radar and radio information superhighway websites in far off locales and no longer consistently places like Alaska. As for residing on base. I fyou are single, it is important until eventually finally accomplishing a delegated pay grade. If married, attempt to be eligible on your better half to join you. that's no longer consistently practicable in any comprehend areas.

your wife has to wait till she ets's to go into the reserves, reservists can goto active but not the other way around. AIT is a pain sometimes but things will get better. especially when she gets to her duty station. if you want to talk about it more email me, my name is the email address.
Yah and for the article, she was a reservist that had been called up on active orders, and it doesnt say she was discharged it says they are deciding.

it works the other way around... you can only upgrade.
Sounds like she made a poor decision and can't live up to her end of the contract. She'll just end up getting chaptered for failure to adapt.
