If my husband wants to get out of the Marine but his unit is deploying can they keep him in longer?

He is supposed to get out in 4 months.If my husband wants to get out of the Marine but his unit is deploying can they keep him in longer?
As heartbreaking as it is - I'm pretty sure they can keep him. My prayers are with you and your family.If my husband wants to get out of the Marine but his unit is deploying can they keep him in longer?
All is possible in the military, no matter what branch.





My husband and I was hopen they wouldn't extend or re send him when he is suppose to come home in November from Iraq (he gets out of the Marines in June). So far, so good. As for other men he serves with, some where extended.





I wish the best of luck to your husband.
yes they can. They own him for the lenth of his enlistment which includes active and inactive duty. They can extend him for another year if they need him.


sorry the news isn't better.
they can keep him as long as they feel neccessary. Especially if he has special skills that are really in high demand.
If they have stop loss in effect for his career field, they can. (They just can't single him out personally to be kept in).





I don't want to say for sure since I retired from the military a few years ago, but, in the Air Force, you still had to extend your enlistment to be deployed, even with stop loss in effect. Since there was no predicting when stop loss might end, you could wind up with a person deciding to leave the military mid-deployment.





A friend of mine refused to extend because he was retiring and already had a job lined up when the Air Force implemented stop loss. He was banking on a quick end to stop loss so he wouldn't lose his job opportunity. Did pan out for him, though, since they went ahead and filled the job with someone else while he was waiting for stop loss to end.
yup its called a stop loss
The only way that I know of that they can keep him is if there is a stoploss in effect on his MOS. So unless that happens in the next four months your husband should be pretty safe from a deployment if he decides not to go.
