my father in law is a private financial advisor and im following in his footsteps…i am life insurance licensed and i am working on getting security licensed, i plan on taking over his buisness when the time comes and i really see this job as opposed to my military job my career.I was supposed to deploy this last summer but while i was in my pre deployment medical screening i was told due to a medical condition i was not able to deploy.So i am non deployable…I have often had to cancel appointments with clients and miss valulable classes and sceminars which cost me alot of money due to drill weekends and annual Training.My traveling schedule is very busy, i am often gone from thursday to monday meeting with clients and when im back at the office on tuesday and wednesday im proccesing the buisness i just did. i meet with my clients over the weekends because they are usually home then as opposed to during the normal workweek. so once a month i cannot meet with clients, and as i am a commision based salesman this affects me and my paycheck greatly..i am truely loosing money going to drill.With this and other things the military has put a real strain on my carreer and my pocket. i need some advice on what i should do before i go to my chain of command about this. ive never had any disciplenary actions against me and i feel im a good soldier, 3 years ago when i joined i never thought that my life would be how it is today and ive got another 3 years to go before my contract is up… looking into the future 3 years from now theres no way the military will have room for the schedule my job expects from me…please help with some solid advice, thanks

Talk to career counselers at your command and work on getting transferred to IRR. You get to finish your contract, maintain your benefits, and skip drill. Since you’re not medically ready, permanently I’m assuming, they shouldn’t have a problem with it. Good luck!
Well, which is it? Your job, or the reserves. Make a choicer. Either arrange your schedule, or tell the Reserves you cannot live up to your committment and you want out.
If you have a permanent medical disability, then you might be able to get chaptered out? You don’t want to go in to the IRR now…they are recalling people by the thousands. It happened to me and it totally sucked.
You have to organize your time DO NOT make appointments when you know you have to leave. Also if I am not mistaken, any employer that has a problem with you leaving, can have a problem themselves, as I believe that is illegal. The guard is a voluntary thing isn’t it. Maybe you really should consider giving it up for now. Find out if you can leave for a while and come back when you are able to better manage your time. Also I would advise that you take a writing class, that is what you need to do instead of the Guard right now. I say this because I sure hope that someone does edit and retype any papers for you. The above question needs some serious editing and spell check work.
