I’m seeing around units going to theater are getting held over at camp mcgregor. I’m leaving for mobe in a couple weeks; should I expect to be held over at mcgregor as well? Is every unit right now that’s going to centcom being held over?
I’m going on a deployment in the guard and plan on doing what’s called an in theater extension where you stay in country to be attached to the next unit. I plan on doing a couple of extensions. On the civilian side i plan on trying to get into law enforcement somewhere. Can each unit I’m attached to for each year be listed as my employer?
Whenever I come back I’d be unemployed so would a background investigator use that period of unemployment against me or see that I was technically active duty for the last 3 plus years and am transitioning into a civilian sector?
If you decide to do an in theater extension, is it mandatory to take r&r or can you just stay in country until next unit arrives? Or will they make you demobe at bliss and go through the entire pre mobilization process again?
Please read my current draft I came up with that is based on my situation and what do you guys think. I am running this by my lawyer as I haven’t told him yet that I’d prefer in my situation a dismissal of the initial filing of the fl-110 without prejudice instead of a stay.
Also this is not a ex girlfriend or spouse.
I respectfully requests dismissal of this action without prejudice on the grounds that the matter was initiated in a procedurally premature, legally unripe, and fundamentally incomplete posture that materially prejudices my ability to participate and defend the action from its inception.
1. The Action is Entirely Unripe Under California Law
At the time of this initial filing, the child is approximately seven to eight months from birth, representing the earliest stages of pregnancy. No genetic testing has occurred, and no legal parent-child relationship exists. The foundational issue necessary for any meaningful adjudication under the California Family Code—legal parentage—remained entirely unresolved at commencement. Because the child does not yet, the matter is completely unripe for the adjudication of custody, visitation, or support-related obligations. Continuing a case in this posture risks allowing premature, retroactive consequences to accrue before threshold issues of paternity can even be legally determined.
2. Material Impairment and Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) Protections
Simultaneously with this premature filing, I was preparing for a combat deployment to the Middle East. This deployment materially impairs my ability to appear, obtain timely genetic testing, meaningfully participate in litigation, and protect my constitutional due process rights. Under the protections afforded by the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), courts are directed to protect against civil proceedings that materially prejudice servicemembers due to their military service obligations. Proceeding from a pre-birth, pre-paternity posture while I enter a combat zone creates substantial due process and equitable concerns.
3. A Stay is Procedurally Inappropriate and Insufficient
While courts often utilize a stay of proceedings under the SCRA, a stay is entirely inappropriate under these extreme facts. Because the child will not be born for the next 7-8 months, a stay would force this Court to maintain an inactive, legally vacant case on its docket for an extended period. More critically, it would impermissibly leave a cloud of active litigation over a servicemember deployed to a combat zone, causing undue administrative and emotional burden while I am fulfilling an obligation to this country.
4. The Practical Impact of the Filing Timeline
The timing of this filing in relation to my imminent deployment created a procedural sequence where Respondent faces a severe, structural disadvantage before a legally recognizable subject of custody or support even exists. While I am not asking the Court to infer improper motive absent direct evidence, the petitioner did know I was an infantryman going to a combat zone this summer for over 13 months. The practical effect of initiating litigation at this exact juncture severely limits my ability to defend myself. Equity favors requiring that this matter proceed only after the child’s birth, the adjudication of paternity through genetic testing, and meaningful participation by both parties free from deployment-related impairment.
I respectfully request that the Court dismiss the action without prejudice. This ensures that any future parentage proceedings may occur in a procedurally proper posture consistent with due process, equitable fairness, judicial economy, and the federal protections explicitly afforded to deployed servicemembers.
Does anybody know of anyone who changed their home of record to a higher bah state for deployment and not get caught?
How long do agencies keep your personal history statements and other paperwork if you’re a non select?
If you’re trying to extend on a mobe and the unit you’re with isn’t your home state, for an extension, do I need another tag release and unit approval, or does the unit I’m attached to process everything?
Being a TOD pick up for a deployment, how does ITE work in my case? Do I need another tag release and home state unit to process paperwork, or the current unit I’m attached to handles all that?
Leaning state trooper or Myrtle beach. Any insight on these two or any recommendations I should do more research on?
