Essentially it is a request for an alternate assignment, temporary leave or an eventual separation from active service. There are different criteria to meet, and they can't really give them out willy nilly, but it's possible.

There are also temporary medical deferments and general applications for re-assignment, hardship discharges and transfers from active duty into the reserves and national guard.

I'm not a military lawyer, but I know these deferments are easier to get for females as women don't fill active combat roles.

Thanks.
