AWOL Mother Gets 'Compassionate Reassignment'
The Colorado mother and soldier who refused to return to Iraq after a Judge in a child custody case said her husband's ex-wife might regain custody if she did, received a 'compassionate reassignment' today.
Simone Holcomb was 'demobilized' today. She will be allowed to transfer to the Colorado National Guard and remain in Colorado to deal with the custody dispute. She will no longer be considered to be "absent without leave."
The army did the right thing.
