Not going to happen. Where do people get this idea that if you want out within 180 days it is ok. The person enlisted and signed a contract to serve their country. People die everyday and unless you can prove authentic family hardship the person in the Army will be staying in the Army. What is leaving the Army going to change after somebody has passed away? I am sorry for your loss, but things will and can be worked out without the person leaving the Army.

It depends on the situation - who died, how the discharge might help, etc. and in the end it's still at the discretion of the Army. Odds are slim unless the servicemember's presence back home is absolutely necessary to deal with some serious hardship that no one else can deal with. Get with the First Sergeant, Chaplain, or CO and see what your options are.

To be honest I don't know the exact answer to your question but I did find an extensive article about military dischrages and wanted to give it to you.
It includes reasons for dischrage, types of discharges, the discharge process and more.
The only thing I could find about 180 days was something called entry level separation. I included a 2nd link to details about that type of discharge for you as well.
"Individuals who are separated with less than 180 days of continuous active military service may be separated as an "Entry Level Separation." In these cases, there is no characterization of service at all."

You can't unless you have a need to be with your family. This is a hardship discharge.
For a family death, though, you get emergency leave for a week or two. Your family needs to arrange this through the American Red Cross.

I know someone that did.
He did got discharged and was dishonored.
To him is not biggie because he really don't need the money
I think that was funny because he really not need the money to be in the military or any benefit that the been in the service offer so.
So he did behave bad.
His boss didn't want him to get emergency leave.
When his newly wife die.
And he never give a big deal about.

You can't unless you can prove that you NEED to be home with your family.
Other than that...you only get emergency leave if it is an immediate family member!

You'd have to apply for a hardship discharge.
Wouldn't a for sure paycheck be a better help?
