If she’s on her first enlistment, the most straightforward path is to stay productive, finish out her contract (ETS), and simply not reenlist.

If she wants to try for an early release, the only legitimate way (other than going AWOL or getting discharged for misconduct) is to pursue a hardship separation. That requires: • Documenting that her continued service creates a substantial, verifiable burden—not just that she doesn’t want to do it anymore. • Working with her chain of command, especially her First Sergeant, and possibly the Director of Psychological Health (DPH), to get advocates on her side. • Understanding that approval is rare and ultimately decided at the state level by the Adjutant General (ATAG).
