Unhappy KAIP - Can I get out of it?

I'm about to hit 2-years on station this week. I still have one more year left on my tour since I'm command sponsored and opted to do KAIP. I want to leave on my original DEROS instead of staying the extra year.

I'm fine paying back the money I got for KAIP ($7200). I hate it here. I work in a toxic environment and am sexually harassed and discriminated against every chance they get. And no, I won't go to MEO about it - they say nonretribution but I know from past experience that's not true. I've been sick for 4 months and I think the stress of being in this environment is mostly to blame. I shouldn't come home form work crying - this happens every couple of weeks here.

So does anyone know if it can be done? I'm about to lose it here!!!!

Cool Re: KAIP - Can I get out of it?

You should go to your "family" doctor and explain your extreme stress problem. With all those kids and a crappy job, you don't need any more of this. He can get you started on a humanitarian transfer or something. If that is too slow, tell a Chaplain you are unable to cope. That will get you to where you want to be. God Bless.

Re: KAIP - Can I get out of it?

It is possible. I signed up for KAIP when I was stationed at Osan, and during the 2nd year of my tour, I was accepted for a formal training class. But in order for me to attend the class, I had to get a DEROS curtailment, along with a KAIP waiver signed by some 1 star General at AFPC.

But unless you have a really good reason for a DEROS curtailment, don't get your hopes up. They like handing out curtailments as much as the IRS likes giving free tax breaks.
