I agree with the above answer as far as asking to go somewhere else...but I don't think Germany is a good choice..they deploy quite a bit from there. Depending on his job....he may be able to go to a post where they don't deploy. I know for MP's there are post out there...but like I said that depends on his job.
Good Luck

If he stays in the army he goes where he is posted and with three tours under his belt he is an experienced front line soldier.
If he leaves and can't find a job in the current climate, then your marriage is under strain for a different reason. Jumping out of the frying pan into the fire?
You answered you own question; stand by your man, he has to make a hard choice.

First of all, tell your husband thanks and thank you for being there for him. You have asked the same question that has been asked for centuries. And there is no right answer. A military marriage is the hardest job in the know galaxy. The two of you might try to sit down together and make a list of what you think is the best course for your lifes. Somebody is going to tall you to go to the Chaplain and ask for his help. Yeah, whatever. Just look him in the eye and tell him you love him and that you will be there through whatever life throws at your family.
Here are some sites that may give you some support.

Maybe he could get a job as a recruiter, drill sergeant or instuctor. That should keep him home for a couple of years.

School. As long he is in school he won't deploy. My husband has been in school on and off since 2004; he came back from deployment December 2003. He probably won't deploy until at 2011, at least. However, even a school environment can be stressful and time-consuming. Though he may be "home" he may still be away a lot.
Move a lot. My daughter is three years old and this is the fourth house she's living in.

Wow this sounds familiar
I'm married and was deployed three times
I got out of the army because of all the deployments
He needs to re-up for training cadre for basic training or work at a school.
Just don't let him go Drill Sergeant or Recruiter cause you'll never see him anyway

If he stays in there is always a chance to deploy. He can try to find a job with a government contractor.
