    I wish you the best. I don't think they will make him. I know the last deployment that i went on we had a guy that had 2 kids with minor disabilities and he was told that he could have gotten out of the deployment because of it. His kids are able to go to a normal but do have some problems. The fact that your husband is working full time and going to school full time might show that he dose not need to be at home so that might be a problem. You might what to talk to your congressmen about it they can be a big help call his office. I don't think your husband should be excused but i do understand what you are going though. I wish you the best

    It is a requirement for ANY soldier to have prepared legal plans for just such a case. While this is one that tugs at the heart strings, and while something could possibly happen, there is nothing that is rule of law that says he has to be let out of the duty he agreed to when he signed up.

    If anything, try and involve the local media in a "hard luck" story. It could add clout. But I would not COUNT on him not going.

    Ok. Just keep in mind that, if he's on active duty, you'll have a whole lot of medical help for your child AND for you during the pregnancy, all payed for. Maybe you'll be better off with him active.

    It all depends on what the officials in charge of his reactivation think of the situation. If he's in a critical position, the odds of getting waived from reactivation are slim. I wish I could be more helpful, but the fact that he was reactivated in the first place indicates that they must want him back badly...
