Re: JAG help

If your boyfriend has any hope of getting a job as a police officer or a corrections officer when he ends his tour, he has to stay in and get an honorable discharge under honorable conditions. If he is discharged as being "unstable" (to use the word you used) I would think that few police departments would hire him (he could always apply at Blackwater).

There is no quick and easy way out of the armed services that preserves your right to benefits. If you take the easy way out, you almost always wind up regretting it. I would urge you not to let him go down that road.

Anything worth doing, is worth doing right!
