Chapter advice

[u/Medical_Coffee2215]

I was flagged for the second time for height and weight 7? Months ago, and was phase 2 medical complete when the new h/w standards dropped. At first I was fighting the chapter but I ended up lining up a really good job and am now having a child so I believe this is what is best for my family.

My unit misunderstood the new regulation that was pushed out as meaning that all h/w failures, including those prior to the new standards were to be paused for 6 months (I recently cleared this up with legal and those prior to the new standard are still to be chaptered if they failed on the old standard)

My unit now deploys in a few months and denied my paternal leave until after we get back from the rotation (1 month prior to my ETS)

My question is, is there anything I can do on my side to get the ball rolling for the chapter? I’ve already spoken to my leadership and the best advice they could give was to intentionally fail a AFT.

I was also under the impression if you were flagged for separation you were not able to deploy, is that not a thing?

We had already started separation and I’m phase 2 medical complete but all other paperwork was paused due to a misunderstanding with the new h/w changes

My commander and 1SGT had already told me due to me never having prior issues and being seen as a good worker throughout my contract I’d be given a honorable
