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

Wow, you have managed to put yourself into jam.
At the moment, do you need the extra money for anything? babies, mortgages,etc? or is it disposable income?
The reason I ask is because I (me personally) would try to fulfill my contracts/ obligations first, then focus on me. But that being said, if your injured in some way and can’t physically complete your obligation’s then talking with your unit’s commander about a discharge might be the thing for you.
Do not get a dishonorable discharge, it will follow you the rest of your life like an albatross around your neck.
If a dishonorable discharge is unavoidable should you leave, ask your father in law to help you run the business while your gone. Its in his best interest to see you have a decent job when entering the civilian world, or he pays for his daughter’s expenses unless she is working.
Good luck, and thanks for your service!
